Would you recommend this program to other school districts?

Describe the way(s) this program impacts your students learning and how this arts experience correlates with your curriculum:
This program made learning math fun! It was done in game form, so the students had fun "thinking" of the answers instead of feeling pressured to come up with the right answer.

Suggestions to artists for improvements:
I liked the program, I just feel that the presenter was a little ..... and I don't want to use the word "mean", but needed a little more patience with the audience. We had two sessions..K-2 and 3-5 and the children were EXTREMELY well behaved. They were laughing at appropriate times, and then were told to hush up..he couldn't concentrate and finish the show with them talking...he was just a little "snippy" with his remarks.. He also needs to make his instructions a little more clear on how he wants his audience participators chosen. Make the instructions a little less complicated.
Please include any additional comments you care to make:
Overall, the teachers and students liked the show. They had fun, and a few of the teachers were taking back to the classroom one of the games played and using it in their teaching.
