George Makes a Stand: To earn money for a new soccer ball, George decides to set up his own lemonade stand. With help from Betsy, the stand is such a success that there are too many customers and not enough lemonade. In the nick of time, George remembers a trick that the Doorman showed him-make two glasses out of one by dividing. All the customers are satisfied, and now all George has to figure out is how to explain to The Man with the Yellow Hat what happened to all his lemonade. EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVE: To understand and represent commonly used fractions, such as 1/2 and 1/4 and to understand situations that entail division, such as sharing equally. Curious George Sees the Light: A new traffic light is installed on the country road and George decides that it would really work a lot better with a few adjustments. But George's fixes don't have the desired effect-traffic gets backed up and even Jumpy can't get across the street to find his nuts! George has to work with Officer Quint to fix the light and get a better understanding of just what those red, yellow and green lights mean. EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVE: To learn there can be more than one reasonable explanation for the same set of data.
