Default Think of a Number
I've been looking for a recording of Johnny Ball's Think of a Number for my 8 year old daughter - she's struggling a bit with maths and I thought Johnny would make it seem a bit more fun.

Doesn't ever seem to have been released on vid or DVD.

Anybody know if it is available anywhere?

Carol Vorderman has put her name to quite a few maths teaching packages. Like Carol Vorderman's Times Tables Made Easy

Was Think of a Number really trying to teach maths to people who didn't understand it? Or was it to make it more interesting, and to point out the quirky and beautiful parts, to children who already knew the basics?

The thing I remeber most clearly was Johnny's infectious enthusiasm. My daughter is very bright but is totally unmoved by maths. I'd like her to see the fun and the "wow" in the subject if she can.

I'd rather not expose her to La Vord.
