Mixed reactions. "The songs were funny but slow." "If I had a problem with math, I might watch it again. I don't and I won't." "It could help kids understand division." They explain division and then do different division problems." "The characters are all animated. They were nice to each other." "The music was okay." "It didn't show me anything new, just helped explain math in a different way." Overall, most kids enjoyed the songs. The beginning of the show actually made them sit down and pay attention because the concepts are presented differently from how they learned math in school. Might help kids who are having difficulties in math.
Interesting concept. This video could be used to help children who have a hard time conceptualizing the math problems in a book. The signs reinforce the first half of the video. It's a bit long. Would work best in segments. It offers good explanations of math concepts. Doesn't talk down to the kids.
Positive lyrics, cool music, and high-energy action generate excitement as students learn to solve division fact. Kids discover what division is all about, solve story problems, use remainders, and even work long division problems.
