Cyberchase: A Corrida do Espaço

This latest cartoon show for PBS takes place in cyberspace in which is full of societies in their own right. Cyberspace is governed by a program called Motherboard, and Dr. Marbles makes sure she is able to function. However one of Dr. Marbles own creations called The Hacker is determined to destroy Motherboard and become ruler of Cyberspace. To do this he creates three henchmen, Buzz, Delete, and Digit. The latter of the three betrays his evil creator and sides with Motherboard.

However Motherboard's encrypted chip becomes missing after and she is at risk of being completely deleted. To that end Motherboard recruits three kids from our reality. The kids along with Digit use math and solve puzzle skills in their quest to find the chip and to defeat The Hacker.

Cyberchase is one of the first PBS Kids shows to try to play on the good vs. evil cartoon/kids shows but at the same time try to inject educational information. Cyberchase is more than just the basic and higher math; it also makes uses of common math and puzzles in everyday life.

Their is also a 'Cyberchase for Real' segment in which everyday young people deal with mathematical puzzles and problems and everyday life. Like finding out how far it would take to get to someone's house by bike, rather than a

car.

Cyberchase is a fun way to present math, and shows some of very basics of math. It may not help those who have troubles with it, but it is still a fun show to watch.

I feel that concepts can be taught better with a story that with a program that merely teaches lessons, and this show merely proves my point. I was not very good in math - I had a 59 at my highest grade point average - and this show could very definitely teach this old bird a few new tricks!

This was my favorite show growing up. Cyberchase helped foster my love of learning and even taught me math concepts that haven't come up in the classroom until High School. It's an odd feeling, being familiar with math you shouldn't be, and not being sure why. It gets even weirder when you remember what evil plot Hacker was up to when you learned it!! I'm a High School Senior now and in the top 1.4% of my class. I plan to major in a math heavy field from the most exclusive school in my state, and I doubt I would have been able to get this far without this amazing show. Thank you, PBS and the creators of Cyberchase!

If I would rate this in stars, I would give 9 stars. I am really glad that PBS had made this show. This is a good show for people who like math or people who want to learn math. I especially like the Cyberchase for Real part. I usually watch this show all the time. If I would tell my favorite episodes from Cyberchase, my favorite episodes are Clock Like An Egyptian and Totally Rad. I like Clock Like An Egyptian because I like to learn about different timepieces. I like Totally Rad because I like skating and learning about some tricks. In some episodes, there is one part that I do not like. The part that I do not like is when Matt calls Inez "Nezzie". That's why I would give this show 9 out of 10 stars.

I stink at math and didn't watch this show until last year. At first i only watched it because Gilbert Gottfried was the voice of digit. I'm glad I gave this show a chance I really like this show and i learn at times. My favorite characters are digit and delete. Delete is a fun evil sidekick and digit is a cute lovable bird plane thing. If you think math is boring then watch this show and you might change your mind. My favorite is um when they do to a Greece site to find Zeus. I never saw the first esposode the scenery is interesting I also find the theme song more interesting than Arthur. Christover Lyold does a great job of Hacker in the show. This is one of my favorite educantionul shows. Watch I dare you all or else hahahahahah kidding WATCH THE SHOW!!
