[00:02:29]Right now.

[00:02:31]Oh, well, Tilly, it's not your birthday today, so um we don't have a cake.

[00:02:43]Tilly looks really sad. Well, it's not her birthday, but maybe we can have a different special day for Tilly. Yeah, like happy tortoise day. Good idea. Yeah. And and we can make her a special cake.

[00:03:03]Yeah.

[00:03:04]Make sure Tilly doesn't find out, or it'll ruin the surprise. YEAH.

[00:03:13]OH, THIS IS GOING to be so fun. I can't wait to make her a cake.

[00:03:19]COOKITY-BOT.

[00:03:21]>> [screaming] >> COOKITY, WE WANT TO MAKE A special cake for Tilly.

[00:03:33]That's perfect.

[00:03:35]What ingredients do we need?

[00:03:46]Let's start cooking. Yeah. Let's do it.

[00:03:49]Oops, excuse me, excuse me. Sorry I got in the way.

[00:03:58]So far, so good. Tilly has no idea about our surprise.

[00:04:07]Heading to the kitchen.

[00:04:09]Yeah, we got to stop her. Tilly.

[00:04:59]Thanks, Leon.

[00:05:01]Okay, that's the cake mix. What's next?

[00:05:05]Time for the milk.

[00:05:08]Whoa, um oh, what's wrong, Cookity-bot?

[00:05:14]Maybe the butter goes in next. Oh, yeah.

[00:05:17]Here you go, Cookity.

[00:05:21]I think Cookity's trying to tell us something.

[00:05:31]Oh, I have more milk than the recipe has.

[00:05:36]And the butter in the recipe looks shorter.

[00:05:41]I wonder how much butter and milk we're supposed to put in.

[00:05:45]That's a how much question.

[00:05:49]Math Molly.

[00:05:53]>> [screaming] >> Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait.

[00:05:58]You have to be quiet, Math Molly.

[00:06:00]We're making a special cake for Tilly.

[00:06:03]It's a surprise.

[00:06:05]>> YEAH.

[00:06:08]SHH.

[00:06:18]UM Math Molly's going to help us with Tilly's surprise.

[00:06:23]Oh, let's go quietly.

[00:06:30]The babies are here to use math to solve a problem. We need help to make Tilly's cake.

[00:06:40]That's a stick of butter.

[00:06:45]And that's how much Cookity said we needed. Just that part.

[00:06:50]How much is that, big kids?

[00:06:53]1/2.

[00:06:55]OH.

[00:06:57]SO, WE ONLY NEED 1/2 a stick of butter.

[00:07:01]But, um what about the milk?

[00:07:06]That's a whole cup of milk, all the way to the top.

[00:07:12]But, Cookity says we need this much, just up to the middle.

[00:07:18]How much is that, big kids? 1/2.

[00:07:22]Oh.

[00:07:23]Well, that's just a half, too.

[00:07:25]Now I know why Cookity stopped us. We only need half a stick of butter. And half a cup of milk.

[00:07:35]Now you can make Tilly's cake.

[00:07:37]>> [screaming] >> Tilly.

[00:07:39]Oh, wow, Tilly, you're just in time for our UH MATH PARTY.

[00:07:49]WE DID IT, WE DID IT. WE did math, we went down the math path.

[00:07:55]We stopped to think [music] the problem out.

[00:07:58]>> [singing] >> Now it's time to jump and shout.

[00:08:03]We did it, we did it. We did math, we went down the math path.

[00:08:09]Math makes you [music] a super smarty.

[00:08:12]So, we had a big math party.

[00:08:16]We did it, we did it.

[00:08:18]We did math, we love math.

[00:08:25]1/2 CUP OF MILK.

[00:08:32]And 1/2 a stick of butter.

[00:08:46]Easy mixy.

[00:08:51]Easy cooky.

[00:09:04]Tilly.

[00:09:06]It's not your birthday, but we still wanted you to have a special day.

[00:09:12]So, happy tortoise day.

[00:09:31]>> [laughter] >> That cake was so yummy.

[00:09:36]Did you like it, Tilly?

[00:09:39]Look, we ate half the cake. We sure did.

[00:09:44]1/2 of the whole.

[00:09:48]I'm really full now.

[00:09:52]Me, too.

[00:09:54]Tilly, what do you want to do next?

[00:10:06]I think Tilly wants to do her pattern dance.

[00:10:10]It's happy tortoise day. So, the tortoise gets to choose.

[00:10:19]Let's do Tilly's pattern dance. It's such a fun dance to do.

[00:10:23]Yeah. We'll follow Tilly's pattern.

[00:10:26]You can do it, too.

[00:10:28]AND IT GOES LIKE THIS.

[00:10:30]Jump once, clap twice, stomp 1 2 3, stomp stomp stomp, jump once, clap twice, stomp 1 2 3, stomp stomp stomp.

[00:10:39]Can we change it a little, put a hop in the middle, spin around, and pretend to climb? But that's not Tilly's [music] pattern.

[00:10:45]>> Mhm. A pattern does the same thing every time. Oh, here we go.

[00:10:52]JUMP ONCE, clap twice, stomp 1 2 3, stomp stomp stomp, jump once, clap twice, stomp 1 [music] 2 3, stomp stomp stomp.

[00:11:02]THAT'S TILLY'S PATTERN.

[00:11:11]THE BABIES are playing outside [music] today.

[00:11:14]Franny is painting a picture of her friends.

[00:11:19]Hold still.

[00:11:22]So I can paint you.

[00:11:23]Why did I think this was a good pose?

[00:11:27]Ugh, my leg is asleep.

[00:11:29]>> No moving.

[00:11:31]Franny, how much longer? Well, I can't finish until I find the perfect color for the last part. Let's see, not red, not purple. Hurry, please.

[00:11:45]I don't think my arm likes this anymore.

[00:11:48]Sure.

[00:11:50]Maybe the big kids can uh help you choose a color.

[00:11:56]Great idea.

[00:11:58]I really need your help.

[00:12:02]What's your favorite color? I'm asking you. Clap two times if your favorite color's blue.

[00:12:09]Blue.

[00:12:11]What's the nicest color you've ever seen? Clap and dance if your favorite color's green.

[00:12:18]Green.

[00:12:19]Is your favorite color orange? I'm asking you. Clap and dance if you love orange, too.

[00:12:27]Orange. The colors [music and singing] of the rainbow are all so beautiful. The colors of the rainbow [singing and music] are so beautiful to see. COLORS.

[00:13:03]WOW. I'M CUTE. And I'm silly.

[00:13:07]>> [laughter] >> What a good painting, Franny. Huh?

[00:13:11]You like it? You really like it?

[00:13:14]But um there's a mistake.

[00:13:18]A mistake?

[00:13:19]>> Mhm.

[00:13:20]You're too tall in the painting, Franny.

[00:13:23]Oh, but I'm the oldest, so that makes me the tallest.

[00:13:28]But I'm taller than you.

[00:13:33]Uh no no no no no.

[00:13:35]The oldest is always the tallest.

[00:13:40]It's a rule. Is that a rule?

[00:13:43]I don't think so.

[00:13:45]Um well, maybe we could measure ourselves to see who's the tallest.

[00:13:49]Okay, but how do we do that? Oh, the Wonder why.

[00:13:55]always has what you need when you need it.

[00:14:02]>> [screaming] >> A pencil.

[00:14:11]Thanks, Wonder why.

[00:14:14]How does a pencil help us measure?

[00:14:17]>> Babies, you can use the pencil to measure your height against [music] the bathroom door, like we've done before.

[00:14:24]Yeah, I remember that.

[00:14:27]See? Here are old measurements. Look how little we used [music] to be. Let's see how big we are now.

[00:14:35]That's right, Kelli, big. Oh, Kelli can go first.

[00:14:40]Come on, Kelli. [crying] Um just stand against the wall and I'll draw a line where the top of your head is.

[00:14:48]And your sticker goes right here to mark your height.

[00:14:53]That's how tall you are now, Tilly. Oh, me then.

[00:14:56]How tall am I? Okay, come on, Lulu.

[00:15:00]Right here.

[00:15:02]And your sticker.

[00:15:05]Oh, I'm getting big.

[00:15:08]Oh, my turn? Oh, yeah, I'll do it.

[00:15:11]>> Okay.

[00:15:12]Let's see if I've grown.

[00:15:15]Hold still.

[00:15:19]Yeah.

[00:15:20]There's my sticker.

[00:15:22]I've grown.

[00:15:24]Who's next? My turn. Okay.

[00:15:34]>> [snorts] [groaning] >> Kip be a super tall. I sure am.

[00:15:42]Okay, your turn, Franny. Oh, okay. [crying] I'm just going to cuz it's my turn. I'm just going to Wait a second. Wait, I just want to see where Kip >> don't move, please, Franny.

[00:15:59]You're on your tippy toes. Oh, no tippy toes.

[00:16:03]>> Okay, fine. But oh, is that a giant walking bowl of noodles?

[00:16:11]WOW, NOODLES.

[00:16:13]I DON'T I don't see anything. I don't see anything. Well, I thought I saw something, but I guess it was nothing.

[00:16:19]Okay, you can measure now.

[00:16:22]Uh wow, Franny, you're really tall.

[00:16:25]Yeah, well, I ate a lot of broccoli today, so I I guess I grew a lot.

[00:16:32]>> [crying] >> Franny, you're not supposed to stand on a stool.

[00:16:41]I knew you weren't that tall. But I don't think we're measuring right because I should be the tallest. No, I'm the tallest. I don't think so.

[00:16:55]I do think so.

[00:16:59]Um I think that uh measuring might be math.

[00:17:04]Math party.

[00:17:13]The babies are here to use math to solve a problem. We need your help to prove that I'm the tallest.

[00:17:26]That's us, but I can't tell who's the tallest when we're like that. Babies, when you measure, everyone has to stand in the same spot.

[00:17:41]Oh, yes yes, like that.

[00:17:43]Feet in the same place. Now we can measure.

[00:17:55]Big kids, now that we're measuring the right way, who's the tallest baby?

[00:18:03]KIP.

[00:18:05]YEAH, I'M THE TALLEST BABY.

[00:18:09]TALLEST TALLEST, YEAH.

[00:18:11]YOU ARE, KIP. I thought I was, but I wasn't measuring the right way. Well, that's okay, Franny. At least we learned how to measure.

[00:18:22]And now we can have A MATH PARTY.

[00:18:28]YOU CAN HAVE A MATH PARTY IF YOU WANT TO.

[00:18:31]I don't feel like it.

[00:18:33]Uh but we didn't even sing yet. Franny, wait.

[00:18:37]Franny.

[00:18:42]Are you okay, Franny?

[00:18:46]No.

[00:18:46]We want to know how you're feeling.

[00:18:51]>> [crying] >> You should use your words.

[00:18:57]There's a word for this. There's a word for that. Use your words to say where you're at. Happy? Sad? Feeling not so good? Use your words to be understood.

[00:19:09]Do you have a frown?

[00:19:10]>> Feel icky and bad? What's the word to use? THE WORD IS MAD. You feel like pouting? You want to scream? Use your words to say what you mean.

[00:19:22]There's a word for this. There's a word for that. Use your words [music] to say where you're at.

[00:19:28]Happy? Sad? Feeling not so good? Use your words. Use your words. Use your words to be understood. [singing] I'm ready to use my words. I'm sad because I thought, since I was the oldest, that would make me the tallest.

[00:19:54]And if I'm not the tallest, what am I?

[00:20:00]Well, you're still the oldest. And you're a really great painter.

[00:20:06]Yeah, and a really good chef.

[00:20:09]And you're the fastest by a lot.

[00:20:13]Well, I do have cheetah speed. And you're also a really great friend. The best.

[00:20:25]So, it's okay that I'm not the tallest? Yes.

[00:20:30]You're Franny size, and that's a perfect size for a Franny.

[00:20:39]I guess it is.

[00:20:40]>> [crying] >> Thanks for helping me feel better.

[00:20:43]And Kip, congratulations on being the tallest.

[00:20:50]Thanks, Franny.

[00:20:53]>> [laughter] >> Aw, I love you, Franny.

[00:20:57]Me, too.

[00:21:00]What's Molly's doing?

[00:21:04]We never had our math party.

[00:21:08]Well, we learned how to measure, and that was tricky.

[00:21:12]So, we should have a math party!

[00:21:19]We did it! We did it! We did math. We went down the math path.

[00:21:25]We stopped to think the problem [singing] out. Now it's time to jump and shout.

[00:21:33]We did it! We did it! We did math. We went down the math path.

[00:21:39]Math makes you [music] a super smarty, so we had a big math party.

[00:21:46]We did it! We did it! We did math.

[00:21:49]WE LOVE MATH!

[00:21:51]>> [screaming] >> BYE, KID KIDS.

[00:21:56]THANKS FOR HELPING US LEARN TO measure today.

[00:21:58]And for making me feel better.

[00:22:01]Oh, no, Baloney!

[00:22:03]Don't worry, Lulu. I'll get it with my cheetah speed.

[00:22:09]>> [screaming] >> Go, Franny, go!
