REVIEW - Parents' Choice
This DVD series is an energizing tool for students who wish to supplement their classroom math material. The enthusiastic hosts appear to be the same age as the intended audience, making the subject matter more inviting than intimidating. The video segments provide explanations and examples of several math topics including fractions, decimals, geometry and more. The DVDs are paired nicely with lessons on a digital workbook, which includes detailed lessons and problems for students to solve. The only downside is that the quick pace will force most students to pause the DVD after problems are given, as not enough time is offered to solve them.
