SQUARE ONE TV - Two Additional Seasons of a Children's Television Series about Mathematics

儿童电视工作室计划制作Square One TV的第四季和第五季，这是一部面向8至12岁儿童的每日数学系列剧。第四季将包括从1991年9月开始在PBS电视台播出的40个新的半小时。与CTW在教育领域的实验使命一致，CTW还提议采用一种新的节目方法，通过将电视剧《MATHNET》中每天播出的侦探连续剧转换为家庭观众，将第一广场的电视覆盖范围扩大到家庭观众。分成四个一小时的特价节目供全家观看。将对这些第四季MATHNET特价进行研究，以测试它们的有效性。除了从1993年1月开始重播每日系列剧外，还将为第五季制作每周11个小时的第一广场电视节目。第四季和第五季的制作将利用前几季的教育影响和吸引力。数学内容将以研究为基础，并与系列咨询委员会和顾问合作。额外的季节将得到全方位的宣传、社区外展活动和学校服务(包括教师指南)的支持。

Children's Television Workshop proposes to produce a fourth and fifth season of SQUARE ONE TV, a daily series on mathematics for children ages eight to twelve. Season Four will consist of 40 new half-hours for air on PBS stations beginning September 1991. Consistent with CTW's experimental mission in education, CTW also proposes to undertake a new programming approach to expand the reach of SQUARE ONE TV to a family audience by converting the daily detective serial featured in the series, MATHNET, into four one-hour specials for family viewing. These Season Four MATHNET Specials will be researched to test their effectiveness. Eleven hour-long weekly SQUARE ONE TV programs will be produced for Season Five to be aired in addition to re-broadcasts of the daily series starting January, 1993. Seasons Four and Five production will capitalize on the educational impact and appeal of prior seasons. Mathematical content will be based on research and in conjunction with the Series Advisory Committee and consultants. The additional seasons will be supported by a full range of promotion, community outreach activities, and school services, including teacher's guides.
