(damaged) Math-U-See Primer DVD

Math-U-See Primer – Instructor DVD

This is the DVD Only for Math-U-See Primer — Steve Demme's teaching videos for the very first level of the Math-U-See sequence. If you already have the manipulatives and student materials, or you're replacing a disc that's seen better days, this is the piece you need.

In these lessons, Steve walks through every Primer concept in his signature clear, low-key style: counting and writing numbers, adding and subtracting with the blocks, naming shapes, telling time to the hour and minute, and an early look at halves and fourths. He demonstrates exactly how to present each idea to your child — including how to use the manipulatives — so you can teach with confidence even if math isn't your strong suit.

Kids who struggle to sit still for a workbook page often have no trouble watching Steve explain a concept. He's engaging without being over the top, and the lessons are short enough to hold attention without dragging.

About Math-U-See

A math curriculum with fewer meltdowns and more "aha!" moments? Yes, please.

Math-U-See has been helping families ditch the math tears and build real understanding for over 20 years. It's a hands-on, mastery-based program that moves at your child's pace — not a boxed-in grade level. Instead of rushing from topic to topic, Math-U-See helps kids really "get it" before moving on. And it works.

How it's organized:

Math-U-See levels aren't labeled by grade. They go in this order:
Primer, Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Epsilon, Zeta, Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, PreCalculus, Calculus.

(Need help picking a level? We've got placement tests ready for you.)

Bottom line:

If your child needs a confidence boost, a rock-solid foundation, or a fresh start with math, Math-U-See is a smart, structured, no-fluff way to get there — without the daily drama. And when your child starts teaching you what they've learned? That's when you'll know it's working.
