It is the first DVD in a set not all in one DVD.
The way teaching is stupid. I am BS in teaching.

This is honestly the worst purchase I have ever made from Amazon. It’s a man standing in front of a camera talking. Just horrible. A brutal waste of money. Worth about 99 cents. Would rate it no stars if I could.

I bought this CD because my 2nd grader is quite bright and I wanted to teach him properly the concepts from advanced grades. I felt it would be more economical than going to an math enrichment company.The concept of this CD is very good. There is a “teacher” who goes through different math concepts. The only problem is his personal speaking style is quite annoying. First off he ends each sentence with “you know” and in addition the volume is extemely low. He goes through each problem very slowly so for a bright child like my 7 year old he lost his interest quickly. This CD would be great for a slow learner if this could keep his attention I would be surprised.
Quite pricey too!

If your goal is to calculate, then this is a good dvd to get. However, if you want your kids to really understand mathematics, pass up this one. For example, when adding numbers such as 23 + 7, one would first put the 23 and 7 on top of each other and draw a horizontal line under the seven. Then, add the numbers in the ones column so the author states that 7 + 3 = 10 so he says to put the 0 under the line right under the 7 and the 1 needs to go above the 2 in the number 23. Why is this? Well, the author’s explanation is that the 1 has to go somewhere so it might as well be above the 2. WHAT??? One would just need to get out some cuisinaire rods to understand the reason why we put the 1 above the 2 is because it is equal to one ten and every ten goes in the tens column. I didn’t get beyond this in the dvd simply because as soon as I heard the author’s comment, that was all the information I needed to realize the author either doesn’t understand the “why” of mathematics or if he does, he chose not to communicate it to the audience. Unfortunately, this is an all too common problem with MANY teachers.

This DVD is just what the doctor ordered for my grandson. He was having trouble with long division and after watching this DVD and practicing he can do it in his sleep. I think he’ll use this DVD for years to come.
