Bugsy's Number Lab

Maths tricks kids can do on their own.

For: Kids aged 6 to 8 (Class 1 and 2), parents and teachers

Start Big, Count On: put 8 in your head, then count on 3 more.

About the series

Understanding a teacher and solving homework alone are two different skills. Each episode teaches one named trick in three steps, then asks the viewer to pause and try, spot Bugsy's mistake, and screenshot the recipe card for homework.

Kids episodes are made for kids on YouTube: no comments, no ads targeted at children, and captions on every video.
