Interactive Musical Comedy Theatre!
Ventriloquist audience participation assembly programs for elementary schools featuring Steve and The Brain
created for grades 3, 4, 5 & 6
Younger version available only if booked the same day
Getting kids as excited about math as they are about money. Money Math Mania is like a wild math class where the kids participate from the audience and up on stage.
Segments Include:
- The History of Money
- Dimes and Decimals
- Save or Spend
- Equivalent Fractions
- Credit Cards and Percent
- Who's Got My Head?
During the show, Steve brings kids up on stage separately and in small groups to interact with The Math Maniacs - a cast of wild characters including The Brain, Fractionstein, Captain Littlehead and the Loan Shark.
Other topics include: awareness of the numerical value of coins and paper currency, place values, budget and interest. Our goal is to illustrate abstract math concepts in a way that is visual, funny and memorable.
Money Math Mania was created for grades 3, 4, 5 & 6 and covers grade appropriate math concepts. We also have a younger version of the show (available if booked the same day as the older version) with age appropriate less complex content. Because of the differences in math comprehension at different grade levels we strongly recommend that you book the older and the younger versions of the show and separate the grades.
The show features audience participation, illusions, original songs and music. Ask for the Teacher's Guide. BOCES assisted.
Testimonials:
"Students as well as teachers told me how much they enjoyed this presentation.
Using the arts in a wonderful way to teach the concept of how math makes money work. Students left the assembly with another layer of information regarding important "money" vocabulary words and concrete understanding. Steve is very talented and kids love his style of humor."
Math consultant, Brentwood.
"A lively, entertaining and educational presentation. This program utilized music, comedy, magic, puppetry and games effectively to engage students and educate them in math and money matters. Student participation tailored to both younger and older students appropriately. Excellent."
