Division Rap (DVD)

"Cool characters help students understand the basic rules and the practical uses of division, all with great fun and a catchy beat. D.J. Doc Roc and a cast of animated animals first introduce the concepts of division, then use music to drill the math facts. The relationship between multiplication and division is reinforced, the parts of a division problem are identified, and remainders and long division are explained. Between each short lesson, practical word-story problems reinforce the concepts and help students relate what they have learned to real-life situations. "Division Drill" consists of nine raps with catchy titles such as "Eight the Whole Thing" and "Let's Split" in which students are challenged to solve problems before hearing the answer. The animations are fun, the characters and backgrounds are colorful, and the concepts are clearly explained. The DVD can be viewed in its entirety, or a specific concept or drill can be selected from the menu. Visual and auditory learners will appreciate the reinforcement and clear explanations. Accompanying worksheets are available at worksheets-for-math.com. While the cute animations may be considered childish by older users, the repetition and explanations are sure to help students master the concepts.” – MaryAnn Karre, Horace Mann Elementary School, Binghamton, NY with the School Library Journal

"This marvelous, educational DVD comes from the company that has been at the forefront of using music to teach and reinforce lessons for so many years now. The DVD teaches kids tricks to help master division. Cute animated characters give problems both verbally and visually and then allow the child to calculate the answer before revealing it. Talk about instant gratification! Best of all the entire experience is set to upbeat songs that are both catchy and memorable. Several testers told us how their kids kept singing them. The division lessons do a nice job of illustrating how multiplication and division are related, this is a great concept since traditionally students learning division have just completed learning multiplication.” – review, National Parenting Center's Seal of Approval Report

"This DVD teaches children ages 8 and older the basic math skills of division, including story problems, remainders, long division, and more. Through the use of animated characters, young learners will learn just what division is, how it's used, and even be able to practice what they are learning with free worksheets for the program on a website sponsored by Rock 'N Learn. It is a flawlessly produced and thoroughly 'kid friendly'. I enthusiastically recommended it for family, school, and community library educational DVD collections." – James Cox, Midwest Book Review Children's Bookwatch

"Division Rap DVD is an outstanding way for students to learn how to work with remainders, see the connection between multiplication and division, start using long division, and more. I recommend this wonderful product." – Stacey Gifford, teacher

"I like that the Rock 'N Learn series offers an alternative method of explaining something like division to kids. It is hard to get some kids to sit down with a worksheet, but they might find this type of video fun and end up learning something in the process. I especially like that there are no previews or commercials before the presentation. I also really like that Rock 'N Learn provides a website on the DVDwww.worksheets-for-math.com that you can go to for free printable worksheets that go along with the topic being taught on the DVD." - Reviewer, iParenting Media Awards
