Starring: Number Gnome, Do-Re-Mi Birds

Overview: [courtesy of South Dakota PBS]

Challenge: Using number knowledge to solve a puzzle

During a badminton-like game of "Whack-it-Back," Ord hits the whistling birdie so hard that it disappears over the trees. Norm the Number Gnome presents a challenge: number and connect the ten black dots that he scatters across the land, and they'll find the birdie. Using what Max remembers from his puzzle book at home, they track down dots represented by various numbers of cactuses and watermelons, chili peppers and Dandylions, Do-Re-Mi birds and Stinky Dink bugs. When they connect all ten in the correct order, the lines form an arrowpointing to Ord's whistler in a tree!

What I saw:

Follow the Dots
Ord smashes the birdie too far in the badminton game, a number gnome helps out by giving them dots to connect.(Connecting the dots)

Comments: The number gnome gets his kicks by helping them figure out things with numbers... he can be used in a computer program to teach kids numbers, he can be a host teaching kids math. seven Stink bugs, eight do-re-mi birds, dander-lion flowers [will check more later]

Goofs/Missing Items: Not checked.
