Daddy and Daughter say "Two thumbs Down", September 29, 2009
This review is from: Hip Hop Kids: Hip Hop Homeroom Math...Made Fun! (DVD)
My little girl is a big fan of Lazytown and of Julianna Rose Mauriello so I thought this would be a good DVD for her. Especially since she's just learning basic math.
I was wrong.
My daughter was quick to point out the poor production value. "Daddy, why does it sound like that?" "Daddy, why are there lines buzzing through the kids?" "Daddy...why did it suddenly get loud?"
AWFUL sound quiality, Video that is riddled with noise and a post-production inserts of Julianna Rose Mauriello throughout the video to make it look like she was part of the production.
I can't help but feel that Mauriello was probably sorry she got involved with this one.
The math songs talk a lot about how fun math is but in most cases only share one or two siple 1+1 problems.
My daughter is the judge here: "Daddy... this is pretty bad. Why are they doing that song again?"
Daddy and Daughter say "Two thumbs Down."

DVD's for movement, March 26, 2008
This review is from: Hip Hop Kids: Hip Hop Homeroom Math...Made Fun! (DVD)
I thought this product could be used for the elementary school where I work. There was too much talking. The students were not kept busy enough. It was very disappointing.

Hip Hop Homeromme, April 12, 2009
This review is from: Hip Hop Kids: Hip Hop Homeroom Math...Made Fun! (DVD)
Awful!
Julianna appears for about 5 Minutes in this Video. And I think kids don't learn that much by watching this. (There's a 5 minute track about 1 + 1 = 2 .... come on!)
The music is boring und monotonous and the dances are idealess. (Just Juliannas dances are ok, but as I mentioned she appears for just a couple of minutes.)
If your kids like monotonous techno music with bored spoken song-texts that are called "Hip Hop" and really still have to learn to add and subract single numbers ... have a try.
(I know that it is spelled "subtract" ... but the inside of the box says, that the video will learn the kids to "subract" ... so I took it over so far. By the way ... if there is an orthography-video available by this publisher ... don't by it!)
If you want your kids to have fun with math, let them watch Sesame Street, they will learn more by watching this. Only if your kids are really fan of Julianna, you might have a try.
