Young Children find Maths in Real Life

This is a draft animation enticing children to become "mathmagicians". Matt and Madd have a case containing a cape, a wand and a hat. When they put on the cape they become mathmagicians. When they wave their wand objects come out of the hat and create mischief. Matt and Madd go on an adventure to different locations in the hat. They explore mathematics wherever they go. When they go back to their room they have to put the objects into a graph by saying a magic phrase "abracadabraganaph". They take off their cloaks and put the hat and wand into the case, ready for a new adventure another day. During the episode the audience are invited to count the number of times a ghost named Mook appears and the answer is revealed at the end. Other episodes have been planned but await development green light by an interested party.
