"By using pebbles, blocks, rods, colored lines and tables to learn mathematics, teachers help students extract patterns and relationships and systems. Shows how students master computation much earlier than usual. Examples include a boy who first proves to himself that "nine fours is thirty-seven", only to change his mind after recess; and some 5th graders who multiply together two four-figure numbers in their heads, writing down only the answer."

Student film workshop?

Film shows the increasing depression of a woman looking for work. She holds the Province newspaper and beside her is a sign indicating how long she has been out of work. Clips of still images spliced together make up the middle of the film. It ends with some disembodied hands cracking eggs with words written on them and then serving them to the woman - this makes her happy.
