Uncle Norm is practicing his putting, but he just can’t seem to get his golf balls stacked up without them falling down. Where can he go to learn more about stacking? A farmer’s market! Uncle Norm and Kevin meet with all sorts of vendors, who teach them about how they stack their products using growing and shrinking patterns for everything from strawberries to plants, or even eggs!
The Gist: This episode is about growing and shrinking patterns – patterns in which every element in the pattern is related to the preceding element in the pattern in the same way (illustrated with numbers and/or shapes).
