From the Contributor Building an understanding of fundamental Math concepts is essential for a student to move on and conquer more advanced math and science. Understanding addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions and percents is absolutely critical. If a student doesn't master these topics early on, it can lead to the "Math Is Hard" syndrome. The core philosophy of this 7 hour DVD course is that "Math Is Easy". The way that you make math easy for a student is to start off with the basics and gradually move on to the tougher material. In this way the student builds confidence in his or her skills and confidence is the key to success in math. The 1st - 7th Grade Math Tutor is a 7 hour, 2 DVD course that will fully help a student master all of the core topics in math at the first through seventh grade level. After mastering the concepts in this DVD series the student will be ready and able to move and tackle pre-algebra and algebra.

Laying the Foundation!
MATH IS NOT HARD. YOU HAVE JUST HAD HORRIBLE TEACHERS. CONFIDENCE BOOSTING COURSES!I graduated High School almost 10 years ago, about to go back to college possibly-Jesus willing, for a career change. I havent done math in forever, but this program was exactly what I needed to get back in the groove of math. Now I've moved on, and continue to take Jason's courses online, they are all up there and available for 20 bucks a month, worksheets included--and I'm now going all the way through the Algebra 1 course. I work hard at it, and his method of teaching has completely REVOLUTIONIZED the way I view mathematics, and do math. I was failed by many teachers growing up, but now, I am learning the proper way to do these problems, from a proper teacher, who is teaching by examples--and breaking it all down--and the option to pause and review is always there--in math class, if you cant keep up, you get left behind..NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND? YEAH RIGHT!I look forward to moving on from Algebra 1, all the way into his Calculus courses...why not!? That's the thing, when you are finally understanding concepts, that when you first learned them terrified you because you couldn't understand..Now that I understand them, and have built up my confidence, I feel like I can take on the world. Bring on more math! I am learning more now, than I have ever learned in my entire life with mathematics, and look forward to making this a lifetime study. Enjoying this up to the point where I can say that I love math. Math is no longer scary, now it's like playing Sudoku-or crosswords! MATH IS FUN! And Jason has helped me to realize this.

Good - at your own speed
This is a pretty straight-forward DVD. Teaches math, gives examples, and the flow is very conversational, but to the point. The instructor seems to have a pretty good grasp on teaching the specified age group. All categories are broken down, so if you don't want to "play all", you can easily pick what section is needed. One of the things I appreciate is the range of 1st - 7th grade. If the 7yo has questions about math that hasn't been taught yet, the DVD is a perfect reference to get a good intro to the subject, rather than waiting another half year to learn it in class. No "bells and whistles", no extra graphics. Just a guy and a white board, explaining math problems. For some reason, it still captivates the 7yo, and has been a requested reference for learning a new skill, or wanting to see more examples of the same skill. A good, solid purchase.

Don't spend your hard earned cash.
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.

great
I love these dvd's, they explain in easy format. My granddaughter is in the 4th grade and this has come in a time of need. We have struggled in homework for so long that I have been frustrated at math. We both sit and watch, the instuctor is very easy to understand and works out the problems completely while demonstrating. We try to even finish the problems to see if we have correct answers. These dvd's are helping her to do better in math and has even helped me to remember things. Best thing I have bought to help

It’s ok
It’s ok for what it is. Just having issues keeping the kids engaged with it because it’s monotone

A Useful Learning Tool
The 1st - 7th Grade Math Tutor is good for older children, I would say for the 6 - 12 age group. The topics covered on DVD # 1 include addition of 1,2,3 and 4 digit numbers, subtraction of 1,2,3 and 4 digit numbers, introduction to multiplication, multiplication and division problems. DVD # 2 covers fractions, decimals, percents, and ratio & proportion. The DVDs provide excellent review for the older child (10 - 12), and good introduction for the younger child (6 - 9). The only minor drawback is that there are no graphics and music. The entire DVD features a math teacher working the problems on a white board. Because of this it may be a bit challenging to get a young child to sit still to view an entire lesson. However, I have found that it helps to sit through the lesson with the younger child and ask questions to make sure that he is following. A good programme, but maybe not ideal for someone who wants to be able to leave the child to watch while going off to take care of other tasks. (My score is actually 4.5 as I would only take off half a point). This is a very good investment for your child.

Excellent, easy to understand presentation of concepts
Bought this course to try and help my 11 year old nephew improve his math skills. Set through all the lectures with him and found the presentation of the concepts to be excellent and very understandable. Even proved to be an insightful refresher for me even though I hold an advanced degree. Found a single error in the calculations presented in Section 14 on multiplying fractions 6/10 X 3/4 has a wrong answer.

Fantastic dvd
I am a home educator and have tried out numerous books and methods. Some were better than others but I felt my children needed a solid understanding of maths because I am convinced that confidence in maths will lead to a love of the subject and none of the methods I tried worked on them.I came across these DVDs, read the feedback, watched some samples with my kids and decided to give them a try.What a difference these DVDs make!Both my kids have really improved. They know what to do when they come across a problem because Jason Gibson takes them through it step by step and they build up the confidence to tackle a problem.His dvd lessons are not high techs and therefore without any distractions. He stands in front of a whiteboard and calmly takes them through the lesson. I have bought a whiteboard for the kids so they can write down the problems themselves and I pause the DVD whilst they work the problem out. It works great.Some people have commented about the occasional spelling mistake he makes, but you know what, that has been a confident booster for my slightly dyslexic son who knows now that everyone makes a mistake sometimes, even such a terrific teacher as Jason Gibson.I would highly recommend him.
