Ozzie the Octopus and Sammy the Seahorse face a big lesson in the classroom. During math class, Ozzie shares an answer that was given to him and plays it off as his own. That’s when their amazing backflipping teacher, Mr. Tony steps in with some wise words about the importance of productive struggle.

Mr. Tony helps Ozzie see that it’s OK to take his time and not know the answers as quickly as others. He explains that learning happens when you work through challenges on your own, not by copying someone else’s work.

By the end of the day, Ozzie realizes that struggling to figure something out makes him stronger and more confident. With Sammy cheering him on, Ozzie learns it’s not about being the fastest—it’s about doing your best!
