This review is from: The 1st - 7th Grade Math Tutor - 7 Hour Course! - 2 DVD Set! - Learn By Examples! - Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, Division, Fractions, Decimals, Percents & More! (DVD)

I am a 50 year old man getting ready to go back to school after many years of being away from the education system. My WORST subject was always Math. I am going back to get my associates degree in Science and Math is a MUST. I picked this DVD up to brush up on the basics and was shocked at how much I forgot and how much I never really understood. Thank you Jason, Thank you. I have now given this to my nephew who is in 7th grade and struggling. This is a MUST for ALL levels of Math.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Math Tutor, November 24, 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great product that builds math skills, August 13, 2006

This review is from: The 1st - 7th Grade Math Tutor - 7 Hour Course! - 2 DVD Set! - Learn By Examples! - Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, Division, Fractions, Decimals, Percents & More! (DVD)

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.
