 Everything I needed and more May 11, 2007
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
This DVD set really helped me. I wonder if some of the people really watched the DVD at all. All of the topics are on there and are covered in a way that I could understand. It really helped me practice for my tests, especially the parts on fractions and percents.
 It does not match what the description. May 7, 2007

It is the first DVD in a set not all in one DVD.
The way teaching is stupid. I am BS in teaching.
Excellent Math Tutor November 25, 2006

This math tutor DVD offers a "no frills" approach. It focuses on how to work problems which is exactly what most students need to improve in school. It covers strictly the basic mechanics of how to work math problems correctly. It doesn't get into the concepts. I am particularly impressed with how the instruction is paced - not too fast and not too slow. One recommendation: students should work the problems along with the instructor on the DVD and not just sit and watch.

I bought this CD because my 2nd grader is quite bright and I wanted to teach him properly the concepts from advanced grades. I felt it would be more economical than going to an math enrichment company.The concept of this CD is very good. There is a "teacher" who goes through different math concepts. The only problem is his personal speaking style is quite annoying. First off he ends each sentence with "you know" and in addition the volume is extemely low. He goes through each problem very slowly so for a bright child like my 7 year old he lost his interest quickly. This CD would be great for a slow learner if this could keep his attention I would be surprised.
Quite pricey too!
Great product that builds math skills August 13, 2006

I don't understand the reviewers comments below as this is a simply wonderful product that has helped my children greatly. The problems are worked out step by step and in the end my children have been able to work problems out faster and wither less chance for errors.
I am puzzled by the comment by the reviewer below says "...we put the 1 above the 2 is because it is equal to one ten and every ten goes in the tens column...". This is true in the problem stated (23+7)...but for 230+70 this is not the reason that you put a '1' above the '2'. Many many times I have seen teachers try to explain the 'reasons' why you carry numbers when adding and borrowing in subtractions and 99% of the time my kids get lost in all of the explanations of what is going on. I much prefer this approach of this DVD which is to stop talking about it and teach the math skills by working problems . I would suggest that any viewer continue to watch this content and not simply turn it off after one lesson as it is like riding a bike - you need practice. I suppose that everyone has a different tase with respect to how to teach your kids math...for me this one is fantastic.
