==Description==
The series follows the exploits of Odd Squad, an organization run entirely by children, that solves peculiar problems using math skills. In the first two seasons, it typically features two employees of the organization's investigation division that work in precinct 13579 of the organization—Agents Olive ([[Dalila Bela]]) and Otto ([[Filip Geljo]]) in the first season and Olympia ([[Anna Cathcart]]) and Otis ([[Isaac Kragten]]) in the second season. Selected episodes feature other types of employees of the fictional organization, like security officers, so-called "tube operators" and scientists. The names of the employees nearly always start with the letter O. Agents are typically assigned cases by their boss, Ms. O ([[Millie Davis]]), and travel via a system of interconnected tubes to get to their destinations. They deduce the solution to the problem or how to detain the perpetrator by using basic mathematical principles that are typically the focus of the episode. Often, they cannot solve the problem at the scene and must go back to their precinct's headquarters or to the "Mathroom", a sentient space that communicates through large [[paper fortune teller]]s and can unfold them to display information to help the agents see connections and better solve their case. Along with math, agents also use "gadgets" designed by the scientists; in the first season, Agent Oscar ([[Sean Michael Kyer]]) heads the lab, gaining an assistant, Agent Oona (Olivia Presti), in early season two who eventually takes over the lab after Oscar is promoted.

The characters have to deal with a variety of recurring villains who often put a mathematical spin on their plots. The third season, dubbed ''Odd Squad Mobile Unit,'' sees a setting change from precinct 13579 to a van; in this season, four agents are assigned by the Big O (Davis) to work in the van and travel the world solving cases where local precincts either can't reach or need extra help. The fourth season, dubbed ''Odd Squad UK,'' is set in an Odd Squad location in the United Kingdom.{{Cite web |date=2023-10-04 |title=All-New: ODD SQUAD UK - Fred Rogers Productions |url=https://www.fredrogers.org/2023/10/04/odd-squad-uk/,%20https://www.fredrogers.org/2023/10/04/odd-squad-uk/ |access-date=2023-12-03 |website=www.fredrogers.org |language=en-US}}
