The Math-U-See Pre-Algebra DVD is an optional purchase for families who prefer to use DVD instruction rather than online instruction. It includes an introduction to the Math-U-See methodology and Mr. Demme’s clearly presented instructional lessons. Each teaching segment averages 8-10 minutes in length and focuses on Mr. Demme, who explains and demonstrates each concept on a large whiteboard using magnetic manipulatives and drawings. The instructional content of the DVD is the same instruction that is included with the Math-U-See Pre-Algebra Online Instruction Videos.
