Description
It will take math and geography skills to find Dregco. He must be found before he destroys the world with Professor Spencer's math formula. The math questions in the course are easy enough. Answers are provided to ensure the child stays on track. Learning about different countries and their relationship to each other provides the child with an exciting lesson in geography.
Children travel with Detective Jarbo from New York City to San Francisco, California, where Dregco boards a cruise ship headed for Hawaii. Once in Hawaii, the little green monster flies to Asia, but not before disappearing off the cruise ship onto a submarine. Children will enjoy virtual travel using video, images, different modes of transportation, and quizzes.
The characters are in cartoon format, however, all travel videos are in a real-life format which creates a colorful, interesting, and informative lecture. Children will need to employ math and geography skills to help Detective Jarbo find Dregco.
PLEASE NOTE: Udemy's transcribing service sometimes misspells the name of a few of the characters. Turn off the transcriber to eliminate confusion especially for children who are just learning to read.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation, a US government agency gets involved because Dregco crosses state lines and then travels to different countries around the world. Each student will serve as an analysis for Detective Jarbo who will need help with math equations. Don't worry, it's easy, it's fun and it will certainly create an appreciation for travel.
