Lynda Colgan is interviewed in the Whig Standard on the second season of The Prime Radicals, which airs tomorrow, September 5, at 6:30 p.m. on TVOKids, with repeats on Sundays at 12:30 p.m. - and online across Canada at www.tvokids.com.
Dr. Don Klinger is quoted in the news on the Education Quality and Accountability Office (EQAO) test results, which show that Ontario elementary students are lagging in math.
The second season of The Prime Radicals, developed by Dr. Lynda Colgan, Director of the Community Outreach Centre, in collaboration with Executive Producer Hoda Elatawi, General Assembly Production Centre (Ottawa), will premiere on TVO on September 5 at 6:30 p.m. The season will include 26 episodes.
A live-action television series with scenarios showing how math is used for everything from clubhouse renovations to cooking, The Prime Radicals makes numbers cool for kids. Based on Colgan's Kingston Whig-Standard newspaper columns, it is also clearly meeting the need for a fresh and innovative approach to math education.
