mathdvdThis giveaway has ended!

The beginning of the school year has went very well.  I have discovered Lauren is a Math whiz.  It is all fun and games to her and she loves it!  I have been on the lookout for educational things to use with this years schooling that will benefit her and increase her desire to learn.

MathTutorDVD.com has some awesome tools that kids love.  The DVD we were sent to review is called “Young Minds – Numbers and Counting”.  The girls love it mainly because of the very vivid images.  Bright colorful photographs of things that hold their interest, such as bugs, animals and brightly colored fruits.  The numbers are reinforced by being displayed in written number form, visually – with a demonstration of how many of the object shown belong with the number and verbally spoken as well.  They also demonstrate the sounds that the animals displayed make.  Colors  are also taught by pointing out the color of objects displayed.

One thing that usually gets under my skin about television for children is the loud obnoxious music.  I can’t stand it.  This DVD does not use that loud obnoxious nonsense.  They have set the whole thing to awesome classical music.  Classical music that engages the minds of my girls.  Music from Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, and others!

turtleHere is a sampling of the objects presented:

  • Variety of animals along with animal sounds
  • Fruits and vegetables along with their colors
  • Machines that move such as trucks, airplanes, etc., along with the sounds that they make.
  • Everyday objects such as crayons, toys, etc.

List Price $24.99
Price on MathTutorDVD.com $19.99

Both of my younger girls enjoy watching this DVD.  I let them watch it in the mornings after breakfast in my bed and listen to them counting with the DVD.  It is a good review of skills for Lauren(5) and a great introduction for Emma(3).

I noticed while browsing the site that they have DVDs aimed at all levels! They have Algebra and Physics! I think I need the Algebra one for myself to be able to keep up with my 6th grader this year!
