Pam L. Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Hi, I am looking into this program for my hs son who has struggles in math. I have read excellent reviews on the history programs, but can't seem to find a review for this one. Has anyone used it? What are your thoughts? I would appreciate any and all info....... Please feel free to email me, reply here or pm. Thanks so much! Pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kareni Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 I've no first hand experience; however, you may wish to check the Yahoo group, Teaching_company_fans, to see what reviews have been posted there. See: Teaching_company_fans Regards. Kareni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mamagistra Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 I recently checked it out from our library to watch with my girls. We've only viewed a bit of it...just reviews of multiplication, division, fractions so far. Dr. Siegel is amiable and the explanations thus far have been helpful. He gives many sample problems with direction to pause the video and solve; he demonstrates the solution to each of these. I should mention that there are a couple of errors in the on-screen problems during (IIRC) the section called Dividing Fractions...the reciprocal fraction is shown a step too soon. It was obviously a mistake in editing, not in Dr. Siegel's presentation. There's my tiny review. ;) I hope it's somewhat helpful. Perhaps you can request it from your library for a looksee before you purchase. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
girligirlmom Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 This is available on Netflix. Search "Basic Math" on the Netflix site. Netflix has one DVD per lesson instead of the 6 DVDs offered on the Teaching company site. 3 appear to be missing: http://www.netflix.com/RoleDisplay/Murray_Siegel/30022350 Algebra 1 is also available from Netflix but I do not see TTC's Algebra 2. Geometry is also available from Netflix. Chemistry is also available from Netflix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
