The Math-U-See Epsilon DVD provides parents with an introduction to the MUS four-step methodology before transitioning to the instructional lessons. Lessons are clearly explained and easy to follow. Each teaching segment is 6-10 minutes in length and focuses on Mr. Demme, who explains and demonstrates the lessons on a large whiteboard with magnetic manipulatives and drawings. The instructional content of the DVD is the same instruction that is included with the Math-U-See Epsilon Online Instruction Videos. DVDs are made available for your convenience and are not required with the purchase of the Math-U-See Epsilon Set or the Online Instruction with Videos.
