Junior Maths - Reflections

Another episode of the classic maths programme, presented by Fred Harris and Mary Waterhouse from their sort of maths-dungeon. Includes the Mad Mathematician and the King (apparently of Yorkshire), the usual hypnotic dream sequence animations, a tutorial on counting in base five from Videlectrix, and a Marx Brothers-type routine at the start which might be the most impressive thing I've seen all week.

"One-tea-two?!!" it's TWELVE!

@TributeToThePast Great video all the same. I really liked the animated abacus sequences like in this video counting in base 5. I remember the abacus counting in binary (Base 2) and decimal (base 10) in a couple of other episodes. If you do happen to find any more Junior Maths shows please upload them! Thanks!

@Diamondblade2008 I know, I never worked out why they did that either (they say 'two-ty' and 'three-ty' for 20 and 30) - for a maths programme, I'd have thought getting the names of the numbers right would be top priority.

1:39 to 2:26 beautifully done!
