Product Description

This DVD teaches students how to easily tackle basic math word problems, and builds upon the foundation laid by the 1st - 7th Grade Math Tutor DVD.
After students learn a math skill such as multiplication or division, many are frequently confused on how to apply these skills to solve word problems. Word problems present the problem to be solved in sentence form, and in these types of problems the student must pull the information out of the problem and decide the best way to solve it. The only way to get good at solving these types of problems is to practice, and that is what this 8 hour DVD course provides.
Each type of problem is devoted to a dedicated section on the DVD for easy reference. Every section is taught entirely by example word problems which helps the students learn these skills in the most efficient way possible.

5.0 out of 5 stars The next Logical Step, May 14, 2008

By	Frank A. Rogers "Frank Rogers" (San Diego, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

After having reviewed the grade 1 -7 math tutor this is the next step in my relearning of Math. If you have a student who is just not "getting it," then Jason is your man. I never had a teacher explain things in such a logical and precise way. This is taught in a very relaxed manner and the student is reassured that it is not hard to do. I always felt like the idiot in Math but now feel I have a good grasp of it. This DVD is being passed on to my nephew who is just finishing the grade 1 -7 and his grades are climbing by each test in school. I can not thank you enough Jason!
