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.

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 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.

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.

Highly recommended DVD series. Just put in the DVD player and in no time your kids will be doing better in math. Yes, it is really that good. Two thumbs up for this one!

This has helped both my kid's and my self; this dvd gives many different examples of how to work the problems.I bought it to help me in my job; to brush up on my math skills, and found that my first grader is doing better in school after sitting and doing the work on the DVD.

I purchased this for my teenage son, who was really struggling with math concepts, and had some holes in his knowledge base. After trying many different types of curriculum, we finally found these DVD's and they have far exceeded my expectations. They are no-frills, but I appreciate that. After purchasing so many different types of curriculum, this one is a bargain for $27 to cover so much material. The instruction is very easy to understand, and my son is now looking forward to math instead of dreading it and being upset because he couldn't understand. This one rates 5 stars in my book, just for helping to bring my son's confidence back!

This product is just great. I've been searching and searching for something to help my kids with math and now I've found it. Thanks for a wonderful product!

There is only one reason I purchased this DVD, and that was so that my kids could boost their grades in math. So that was the yardstick by which I measured this DVD - and it has exceeded my expectations in every way! My kids are actually liking math instead of dreading it. I don't get the fussing that I used to when it came around to homework time in the afternoon. But best of all my son's worksheets are coming back from school and he is doing much, much better than before. Thanks for a fantastic DVD!

The 1st - 7th Grade Math Tutor is good for older children, I would say for the 6 - 12 age group. The topics covered on DVD # 1 include addition of 1,2,3 and 4 digit numbers, subtraction of 1,2,3 and 4 digit numbers, introduction to multiplication, multiplication and division problems. DVD # 2 covers fractions, decimals, percents, and ratio & proportion. The DVDs provide excellent review for the older child (10 - 12), and good introduction for the younger child (6 - 9). The only minor drawback is that there are no graphics and music. The entire DVD features a math teacher working the problems on a white board. Because of this it may be a bit challenging to get a young child to sit still to view an entire lesson. However, I have found that it helps to sit through the lesson with the younger child and ask questions to make sure that he is following. A good programme, but maybe not ideal for someone who wants to be able to leave the child to watch while going off to take care of other tasks. (My score is actually 4.5 as I would only take off half a point). This is a very good investment for your child.
