This movie isn't as catchy as the letter ones, but my son loves it and has already learned so much! The leap frog videos are a great tool to have as a parent of toddlers. My son has learned every letter and their sounds from the letter factory and word factory videos, and now he has learned to count to 20 and can recognize all the numbers from the math circus video. Either way, it's better to have your children watching something they can actually learn from!
As a retired Primary teacher I value the Leap Frog series of DVDs. I bought this one for my K/gtn grandson and he loves it! It uses a clever background of circus acts for the expanation of numbers. The characters are familiar ones from the other DVDs.
My Kids loved it! It taught them what needed to taught, and kept their attention and they enjoyed like it was just a cartoon type movie. They comprehended what they were saying and teaching and they retained all that was being taught. And they wanted to watch it over and over again.. Good Job Leap Frog!
I decided to buy this because we also own the "Letter Factory" dvd by Leap Frog. This is a great pre-k and K dvd because it gets the children interested in numbers and phonics in a creative way. My daughter (4yrs) loves these videos, and along with the fun she has watching them, she is learning to recognize numbers. Overall, I think this is a wonderful tool to help prepare children for kindergarten! Highly recommended!!
I bought this movie about to month ago and I have awatched so many times but is has really helped our oldest son get ready for school this next year. He will ask to have one of the four or five leap frog video that we have bought instead of watching tv and loves to dance and follow along with the video the baby is now tring to follow the video to.
When I first got this movie my 4 year old son wanted to watch it CONSTANTLY. He LOVED it! He watched it over and over until he just about had the whole thing memorized! As far as what I think about it, it was WELL thought out, and teaches math basics in a wonderfully entertaining way. It was an excellent investment in our childrens education as well as for their entertainment!
I really have liked the Leap Frog videos. Math Circus is a fun video your child will want to watch. You can't say that about many educational videos. I bought one for all my neices and nephews and one for my children as well.
This DVD has my 5 year old captivated. It is more advanced than what I gathered from the description, as it have multiplications. The amazing thing is that my son seems to be following the concepts of what to him should be an advanced subject.
