DVD Reviews of Rock 'N Learn: Addition & Subtraction Rock
DVD Review: Absolutely No Educational Value. A Bad Concept.
Summary: 1 Stars
I liked the Rock-N-Learn Telling Time video and the Rock-N-Learn Money and Counting Change dvd. My 6yo learned to tell time in one afternoon after watching that video. The Money video was clear and well presented - even if the music in both was dated and somewhat annoying even downright corny, overall I felt as though the materal was, again, clearly presented in a logical, well-thought out presentation. And, my child learned the principles as they were set forth on the video.
Having had a positive experience with the first two, I went ahead and ordered Rock-N-Learn Addition and Subtraction Rock without previewing it. School was due to open soon and I wanted my 6yo going into 1st grade to have a supplement that reinforced basic math principles. Wrong! The Addition and Subtraction Rock dvd has nothing - nothing! - but a sing-songy voice burbling out addition and subtraction equations over and over and over again. No explanation of math principles or how to read an equation or even how to prove your work by working backwards in an equation, such as: 1 + 3 = 4, thus 4 - 3 = 1. It is very frustrating to sit through the entire length of the dvd listening to nothing but a voice singing repetitive equations the entire time. Silly idea and nonsensical presentation of the material. This is simply awful and not worth the money. After 10 minutes both of my children were pleading: "turn it off, it's driving me crazy!"
I wish I was exaggerating, but really, the entire dvd consists of people singing: "four minus three is...one!" "Five plus six is...eleven!" Between the wacky music and the kooky mathematical mantra, it is a very curious addition to the otherwise solidly good Rock-N-Learn series.
