Editing Cyberchase (section)

==Development==
===Conception===
''Cyberchase'' was conceived in 1999 as an educational show that aims to show kids that math is everywhere and everyone can be good at it. The series encourages viewers to see, think, and do mathematics in their world. The show and supporting activities have been designed to support math education and reflect the curriculum standards of the [[National Council of Teachers of Mathematics]].<ref name="nctm">{{cite web|url=http://www.nctm.org/|title=National Council of Teachers of Mathematics|publisher=Nctm.org|access-date=October 5, 2012}}</ref> The show's philosophy is to foster enthusiasm for math, to model mathematic reasoning, to help children improve their problem-solving skills and to inspire all children to approach math with confidence and a "can-do" attitude.<ref name="educationalPhilosophy">{{cite web|url=https://www.pbs.org/parents/cyberchase/about-cyberchase/learning-goals|title=Cyberchase Learning Goals|publisher=Pbs.org|access-date=October 5, 2012}}</ref> 

Later seasons place less emphasis on math and more on environmentalism and wellness. For example, in season 11, the theme of episode 2 is [[habitat fragmentation]], episode 3 is about the effects of temperature on [[marine ecology]], and episode 4 discusses using plants to improve [[indoor air quality]].

===Production===
Originally, Thirteen produced the show in partnership with Ontario-based [[Nelvana Limited]] for [[PBS Kids]]. It aired on PBS Kids since 2002, and on V-me (dubbed in Spanish) and [[PBS Kids Go!]] from 2004 to 2013. Cyberchase has been animated by Pip Animation Services Inc. since season six; Right Path Pictures did post-production, and Curious Pictures did the original character design. 

Twelfth Root Music produces the sound track for Cyberchase. 

[[WNET|Thirteen/WNET New York]] and [[Nelvana Limited]] produced the first five seasons, while Thirteen, in association with Title Entertainment and WNET.ORG, produced seasons six and on.<ref name="programSummary">{{cite web|url=https://www.pbs.org/parents/cyberchase/about-cyberchase|title=About Cyberchase|publisher=Pbs.org|access-date=2012-10-05}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.pbs.org/parents/cyberchase/|title=Cyberchase.
