| PRODUCT: Math Facts DVD |
| What aspects of this product made it a powerful learning tool? |
"I really thought the use of the number line was a great animation. Great to introduce concept of addition. I like how the chapters are divided into families. I liked the tens - the way they are in a vertical line and the zero falls away. This was very powerful."
|
|
"I liked the fact that students who don't get flash card practice at home can get it from the video. Learning in disguise is great." |
| How would this product need to improve to better support your curriculum? |
"I feel I would use it more at the beginning of the year or with children who are struggling with concept. I would use it to review - maybe the 2nd day. Also review when learning about math facts."

|
"This is a good introduction to each fact family."
|
| How did you make use of the product, or integrate it into your lesson plans? |
"I used the DVD to introduce the number facts. My group learns by seeing, touching - they now take objects and show me the number facts thanks to the video."
|
|
"We viewed it during our math time on several occasions. It is also a great educational filler at the end of the day when half of my class leaves 15 minutes early." |
| What made it an effective learning experience for students? |
"I liked the table - talking about where the numbers intersect is the answer." |
|
"It caught and held their attention! It was relevant because it reviewed items I was teaching and was an introduction to other concepts. The students really liked the different number characters, especially when they sing." |
| What made it an enjoyable experience for you as a teacher? |
"The students loved it. Some of the students that have a problem with addition / subtraction facts really kept their eyes on it. Now they show me a number fact with our counting cubes and/or objects in our room. |
|
"No prep! DVD easy to use. It held the students attention! They loved it! It complimented what I was teaching." |

What skills did your students learn from this product? |
"Using tables and following rows & columns. Inverse operations - they liked the way it moved to the answer - I think some finally understood the concept. We watched how to use the foldable chart and we made one in class. They enjoyed that." |
