'''''Math Patrol''''' was a children's [[educational television]] show produced by [[TVOntario]] from 1976 to 1978 and aired by the [[public broadcasting|public broadcaster]] in the late 1970s and the early 1980s.<br />
<br />
The series starred [[John Kozak]] as "Sydney" &ndash; a "[[mathematics|math]] [[detective]]" who repeatedly went [[undercover]] as a [[kangaroo]] ("the only disguise ''Math Patrol'' had that would fit him"). Other cast members included [[Carl Banas]], [[Jessica Booker]], [[Luba Goy]] and [[Nikki Tilroe]].<br />
<br />
Producer/Director Clive Vanderburgh, Production Assistant Jane Downey and Editor Brian Elston.<br />
<br />
The program was designed to teach basic math skills and [[terminology]] in an entertaining fashion to children between approximately 8 and 10 years of age. In each 15-minute episode, ''Math Patrol'''s unseen ([[silhouette]]d) boss "Mr. Big" would send the detective on a case or charge him with a task which could only be solved through mathematic deduction.<br />
<br />
Over the course of 20 episodes, ''Math Patrol'' provided introductory math lessons on topics including [[addition]], [[subtraction]], [[multiplication]], [[division (mathematics)|division]], [[area]], [[fractions]], [[length]], [[shape]]s, [[geometry]] and [[symmetry]].<br />
<br />
Because of its highly educational nature, ''Math Patrol'' was often shown to groups of [[primary education|primary school]] students during [[class (education)|class]] time.<br />
