This review of ScienceandMath.com was amazing! Let me share about this fantastic product and how it worked for us.

I was given the DVD Algebra 1 : Volume 1 along with Fractions Thru Algebra Companion Worksheets CD (mine was the PDF downloadable version) to review with my oldest son, he is 12 years old and is in middle school (around 7th-8th grade). In our homeschool it is kind of hard to always pinpoint what grade level we are currently in. This product, The Algebra 1 Tutor : Volume 1 DVD, is geared for 9th-12th graders, or rather anyone that may be struggling with certain concepts in this area of math.

I must be honest, I was a little overwhelmed when the tutor, Mr. Jason Gibson, introduced himself on the DVD. He talks about his extensive education background and the degrees he has earned. I thought that this is going to be waaaaaay over my 12 years olds head but alas, we sat down and we were amazed. Jason speaks so well on video and he makes sure to take the time to throughly go over each step he is preforming before moving on to the next concept. What a nice change from the math I have been helping my son with. No more grumpy days over math here! This was a breath of fresh air in our daily studies.

The DVD is broken down into 10 sections, equalling 3 DVDs in the set and 7 hours worth of one on one tutoring! This DVD is $31.99 but is on sale now for $26.99. Or…you can buy the PDF downloadable version for $23.99.

DVD Disk 1
Section 1 – Real Numbers And Their Graphs
Section 2 – Review of Fractions
Section 3 – Exponents and Order of Operations

DVD Disk 2
Section 4 – Adding and Subtracting Real Numbers
Section 5 – Multiplying and Dividing Real Numbers
Section 6 – Algebraic Expressions

DVD Disk 3
Section 7 – Properties of Real Numbers
Section 8 – Introduction to Equations
Section 9 – Solving More Equations
Section 10 – Simplifying Expressions to Solve Equations

Each section was around 1 hour in length. Some sections were further broken down, which really helped with the worksheets that were offered. Each minute watching Jason talk about math and the simple way he explains the concepts was truly a wonderful thing to behold. He made the most tedious tasks, for instance, fractions, make more sense than any teacher I have ever had before. Therefore in turn, helping me to become a better teacher for my children because now I understand the process better and can explain it to them in more easily understandable terms. Thank you Jason!

My son used this DVD along with the supplemental worksheets, which I highly recommend, because it allows for the student to listen, see, and then complete the problems. Enforcing the concepts and then eventually mastering the math concepts! These worksheets are brilliantly laid out. They are loaded with problems for the student to do. After watching the selected section, the student then is able to complete the coinciding worksheet. AND, the thing I loved the most, the answers are at the end of the worksheets! Not only are the answers attached, they are attached along with detailed answers. Not just what the answers are, but another enforcement of why the answers are correct. That is a wonderful covering of concepts in my opinion.

Here is the breakdown of the worksheets. You can order the DVD for $34.99 but it is on sale now for $24.99 or the Digital Downloadable version which is $21.99. Both are well worth the cost!

Worksheet 1 — (25 Pages) – Real Numbers And Their Graphs
Worksheet 2 — (96 Pages) – Fractions
Worksheet 3 — (31 Pages) – Exponents
Worksheet 4 — (27 Pages) – Add and Subtract Real Numbers
Worksheet 5 — (32 Pages) – Multiply and Divide Real Numbers
Worksheet 6 — (27 Pages) – Algebraic Expressions

Worksheet 11 — (26 Pages) – Solving Inequalities
Worksheet 12 — (42 Pages) – Natural Number Exponents
Worksheet 13 — (27 Pages) – Zero and Negative Exponents
Worksheet 14 — (27 Pages) – Polynomials
Worksheet 15 — (25 Pages) – Add and Subtract Polynomials
Worksheet 16 — (25 Pages) – Multiplying Polynomials
Worksheet 17 — (25 Pages) – Divide Polynomials by Monomials
Worksheet 18 — (24 Pages) – Divide Polynomials by Polynomials
Worksheet 19 — (24 Pages) – The Greatest Common Factor
Worksheet 20 — (21 Pages) – Factor By Grouping
Worksheet 21 — (19 Pages) – Factor The Difference Of Two Squares

The beauty of the Algebra 1 Tutor : Volume 1 DVD and the Fractions Thru Algebra Companion Worksheets is this…you only need a DVD player to get A+ quality tutoring and a printer. This is a deal that I totally believe you should budget for to use in your homeschool or to supplement your math classes. The DVD does have the sections labeled out but sometimes if I wasn’t paying close attention, the lesson moved on before my son had a chance to start the worksheets. If there was a better lay out of the sections on the DVD and a more defined stopping point on the DVD, I believe it would help with the older child that is capable of self teaching. That is truly the only issue that we had with these items.

I think that our next purchase from SciencenadMath.com might be the science DVD. If Mr. Jason Gibson can help make math less painful, the possibilities are endless with science!
