Episode Description: Max, Molly, and Rufus are pulled into one of Alaska’s most legendary true stories: the 1925 Serum Run to Nome, Alaska. Teaming up with mushers like Wild Bill Shannon, Leonhard Seppala, and famous sled-dogs Togo and Balto, they brave blizzards, ice, and exhaustion to help deliver life-saving medicine. Along the way, they use Math, stamina, and teamwork with furry friends to help save a community. Math Concepts: Division and averages (150 ÷ 20 = 7.5 dogs per team) Distance, rate, and time calculations; Multiplication with decimals; Ratios and comparisons. History/Geography Concepts: History: The 1925 Serum Run to Nome (also called The Great Race of Mercy); Geography: Alaska, Nenana, Nome, Norton Sound, Arctic conditions; Biology: Dogs’ olfactory system (300 million receptors vs. 6 million in humans)

Episode Description: While erasing doodles for extra credit, Max and Molly stumble across a secret message from Aunt M hidden in the margin. It leads them to Burlington Bunker, a Cold War-era underground city in Corsham, England, where mysterious Morse code transmissions are being sent—possibly by the POGs or their underground allies, the Moles. With the help of a Problem Solving spy, Ames Blond, Max and Molly use pattern recognition, proportional reasoning, and division tricks to uncover a pattern in the coded transmissions. But just when they think the mission is over, they learn the transmissions are being sent... to Oshkosh. Math Concepts: Division & Multiplication relationships; Trick for dividing by 5: Multiply by 2 and move the decimal left one place; Parts of a Division Problem: Dividend, Divisor, Quotient; Pattern Recognition; Basic Unit Conversions (minutes vs. seconds) History/Geography Concepts: Applying math concepts to real-world spy scenarios; Burlington Bunker: Cold War-era government facility in England. Morse Code: Historical communication method, including its use on the Titanic. Avogadro & Mole (Chemistry reference): Sneaky cross-curricular connection

Episode Description: When Max and Molly receive a mysterious telegram, it sends them straight to the North Atlantic—just in time for the Titanic disaster. Luckily, they are aboard the RMS Carpathia – the ship that came to the rescue of the Titanic’s passenger. Using math, maritime history, and quick thinking they are able to help with one of the greatest rescues at sea ever! Math Concepts: Calculating distance between coordinates using the Haversine formula; Nautical miles and knots as units of distance and speed; Unit conversion: knots to miles per hour; Multiplication and division with decimals; Lifeboat capacity analysis through multiplication and addition.History/Geography Concepts: The sinking of the Titanic (April 14th, 1912); Role of the RMS Carpathia in the Titanic rescue; Guglielmo Marconi and the development of wireless communication; Lifeboat design innovation by Maria E. Beasley; Geography of the North Atlantic Ocean and use of coordinates; Contributions of Molly Brown & Captain Arthur Rostron; Women’s suffrage & early 20th-century activism
