Movie Reviews of Math Video Tutor: Fractions Thru Algebra

Movie Review: Mistakes abound - will do more harm than good. Math teacher warns stay far away from this!
Summary: 1 Stars

I am a math teacher and math tutor, and I decided to try this video to see if it might be something I could recommend for a student to use at home. I simply cannot believe all of the mistakes that are made in this video.

I only looked at the Fractions section, as I couldn't bring myself to suffer through anymore of the poor presentations and downright wrong descriptions of steps and mathematical concepts.

For example, the presenter demonstrates 6/12 by drawing a circle, then dividing it into two equal parts, then four equal parts, then eight equal parts, then...he finally realizes that he's not going to be able to divide the circle into 12 equal parts (he would've needed to divide the circle into thirds at first). He leaves the drawing as it is and proceeds to add one more line to divide two of the 1/8th sections into four 16ths and tells the viewer to just imagine that all of the sections are of equal size!!! Why not just film this section again using a correct drawing instead of leaving this blatantly wrong example for students to try and "figure out"? Unfortunately the list of mistakes continues, one after the other...

As this video is marketed to those who are seeking a "Math Tutor" and obviously want/need help with their math, there is absolutely no excuse for these kinds of mistakes. The only good thing I can say about this video is that I'm glad I borrowed it from the library instead of investing real money to purchase it. One star is too high a rating, but zero was not an option.

I have tutored many, many people in Math through Calculus, and I have found that if you start off with the basics and take things one step at a time - anyone can learn complex Math topics. This DVD has literally hundreds of example problems ranging in all levels of complexity. Each problem is broken down into bite-sized-chunks so that no one gets lost. This DVD will take anyone with no prior exposure to Algebra and raise their scores significantly.
