MathTutor~Review

As part of the homeschool crew. I received two dvd’s from MathTutor.

The first DVD, Young Minds Numbers and Counting is for the preschool crowd. This DVD teaches counting from 1-10. There are beautiful pictures and videos set to classical music.

Included on this DVD there is also bonus material including picture puzzle, connect the dots and name the animal. This DVD can be purchased at the MathTutor website for $19.99.

What we thought: This is a wonderful DVD for preschoolers. The pictures and video are beautiful and we loved the classical music that accompanies it. Kaden is getting ready to turn 5 in a few weeks and he did like it. He is counting beyond 10 at this point. I think it would be great for 3-4 year olds.

Below is a sample video you can watch.

The second DVD we received was The Basic Math Word Problem 2 DVD. This DVD set has 8 hours of instruction.

There are 15 lessons in all. Here are the lessons on each DVD.

Disc 1
Section 1: Adding Whole Numbers
Section 2: Subtracting Whole Numbers
Section 3: Multiplying Whole Numbers
Section 4: Dividing Whole Numbers
Section 5: Adding Decimals
Section 6: Subtracting Decimals
Section 7: Multiplying Decimals
Section 8: Dividing Decimals
Disc 2
Section 9: Adding Fractions
Section 10: Subtracting Fractions
Section 11: Multiplying Fractions
Section 12: Dividing Fractions
Section 13: Percents, Part 1
Section 14: Percents, Part 2
Section 15: Ratio and Proportion

These are lessons that teach your student how to solove out word problems. Jason Gibson is the instructor in this video and he does a great job explaining math concepts. He is very through in his explanations. He uses a white board to write out and explain the concepts.

The Math Word Problems DVD set can be purchased for $26.99 at the MathTutor site.

LIMITED TIME FREE BONUS: Each new Math Tutor DVD customer receives 60 minutes of FREE live online tutoring available 24/7 through Tutor.com! A $35.00 Value!

What we thought: I think this is a great resource for helping students comprehend math concepts. Using these videos can help students not just learn math concepts but understand how to solve them. These videos are also a great way to reinforce those concepts.
