Disclosure: I received a product to help facilitate the review. All opinions stated are genuine and my own.
Mill Creek Entertainment has found a way to make learning math fun with their (30) episode, (3) disc DVD set of 'Monster Math Squad.'
The episodes in these DVDs are cute, intriguing, and fun to watch too!! My son (age 6) wanted to keep watching them this morning instead of getting ready for school. You know, he had the "stare straight ahead so you don't miss it" thing going on while mom was trying to button shirt buttons and comb wet hair. That's pretty good considering he's always quick to get ready himself in the morning, and this was a learning video.
The episodes include Max, Lily, and Goo...three loveable monsters that head about a daily task, such as babysitting, only to find math challenges all along the way. There is counting, number recognition, sorting, and the like involved, but it's all cleverly integrated into the attention-capturing story line. There's also a 'word of the day' in each episode (a math word) that viewers are to recognize and use to interact along with the monsters when it's found.
We thought it was a great way to get children interested in Math challenges, without pushing them to just sit and learn. The natural progression of learning that occurs during the plot of each story is what captures the children's attention (along with the colorful, and very cute monsters). It makes learning effortless and fun too.
I highly recommend this DVD for the younger crowd (Pre-School to Young Elementary Grades). Five out of Five stars from me on this one. I loved it, and my Kindergartner did too.
If you'd like to know more about 'Monster Math Squad,' head on over to the Mill Creek website, where it is also available for purchase. It can also be purchased (for a slightly higher price) on Amazon.
You can also follow Mill Creek Entertainment on Facebook, Twitter, and/or their YouTube account.
One winner gets a 'Monster Math Squad' DVD (30 episodes on three discs) to call their own. US entrants only.

This would be perfect for my six year old. He is struggling a little bit with math!
ReplyDeleteGreat activity to help kids learn! And cute to boot!
ReplyDeleteCounting beads were okay, back in my early years. But they don't compare to fun things like this.

I really love finding fun things that are educational, too. It's a win win!
ReplyDeleteAwww this reminds me of Monster's University and they are so cute! Seems like a great way to learn math!
ReplyDeleteAs a math lover....I so appreciate this. So many kids don't like math just because it's "math" so if we can start their love of it earlier, yay!
ReplyDeleteMy toddler would really love this. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteMy son is really into monsters right now. If he was school age, we'd be doing some math. Right now, we're learning two digit numbers.

ReplyDeleteWhat a fun way to learn math--I really wish they had something like this when I was a kid-but then there were no computers back then either or DVD players come to think about it.
ReplyDeleteKids aren't the biggest of fans of math, but they sure do love monsters; no better way to teach them math with using monsters.

ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea and great timing with Summer almost here. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI wish I had had this a couple years ago. Christopher doesn't like math. His grade last semester dropped from an A to B which I said was my fault because I don't always understand his homework. I kid you not, one worksheet took 45 minutes the other day. That stuff should come home with instructions because of course he didn't remember how it was explained. Long story short there was a web address on the worksheet and I found the answer sheet. Based on the answer I figured out the problem. When I was done sweating that Christopher said, "That was kinda easy huh mom?" :-/
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great giveaway. My daughter would love it, thanks.
ReplyDeleteI love the characters- gotta make math fun some how, right?
