- Kid Synopsis
For RealHarry Gets Board
When Harry goes snowboarding for the first time, he vows to do a "360" by the end of the day... although he doesn't even know what the term means. An instructor helps him to learn that 360 refers to the number of degrees in a complete turn, and that it takes lots of practice to be able to do such a stunt. Ignoring the instructor's advice, Harry heads up the mountain before he's ready and has a hair-raising trip back down.
Math message: Degrees describe the size of angles. If you turn in a complete circle, the angle is 360 degrees.
