Title: Not for younger children
Product review: I bought this DVD for my third-grade twins who are having difficulty memorizing math facts, and don't quite understand the relation between these math facts and the real world. I thought this DVD would be perfect, explaining basic math facts with humor and real life examples. But their explanations are way over the heads of this age group. In explaining the concept of "carrying over" while adding, for instance, here is what is said and written out on the screen: "Carrying over means you take the digit in the tensplace of the digit place sum, and carry over that digit to the next digit place to the left in your addition problem. You do this whenever the sum amount in the digit place is greater than nine."Yeah, *I* get it, but it is not the simplest way to present it to an elementary grade child.I'm not certain what grade level this series is for -- perhaps middle school and above? -- but definitely not for those just starting out.
