Your child has moved up in the world, but he or she is starting to struggle, and you yourself may be a bit out of practice. Whether it be graphing, exponents, absolute values, prime numbers or even the dreaded perfect numbers, you often may feel less than "perfect", but it doesn't have to be this way! There is a simple solution in the DVD section, as you pick up pre-Algebra DVD's.
Why does this help?
1.
Interaction -- Whether it's you getting a refresher after decades of learning other materials, or you just want to spend time with your child so that both of you understand it better, few things are better than a DVD.
As an extra incentive, give your child the DVD remote and after every chapter, discuss what you've gone over.
2. Learn at your own pace -- Rome wasn't built in a day, and your child might not "get it" at the blindingly fast rate of the classroom.
Let's be honest -- how many people can master any topic with only an hour of lecture? By hitting the "Rewind" button, you can go over it with a child and help him or her learn it at their own pace.
3.
Better incentive -- Let's be honest.
By the time your kid gets to pre-algebra, they don't like going to school. They'd rather discuss Batman or that really cute redhead of the opposite sex in their room.
It's human nature. Why? Because most kids don't like to be cooped up in a place all day or under pressure by peers if they don't understand pre-algebra. When they're home, they can watch a DVD and play on their PS3 just 5 minutes later!
In conclusion, getting a good pre-algebra DVD and spending that time with your child will create a bond and help that troubled child get through the mess and confusion of pre-algebra and let your child beat the demons of pre-algebra!
