A NEW EDUCATIONAL VIDEO SERIES HELPS CHILDREN ENJOY LEARNING MATH
MATH PARK is geared for students ranging from grades 2-4 and is designed to support national math learning standards formulated by the National Council for the Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM). Amusing characters such as Park Ranger
A. Rith Metic, Marshall Math Dillon, the Math Salsa Dancers, the Numerator, the Denominator and the Math Protesters use comedy to engage youngsters as they learn the core math curriculum. A major factor in the success of MATH PARK is that each video is interactive; kids are constantly encouraged to answer aloud to the characters. In addition to teaching mathematical concepts and skills, MATH PARK models the proper way to pronounce mathematical terminology, which has been very helpful with English language learners.

CREATED BY PROFESSIONAL EDUCATORS, FOLLOWING TODAY'S SCHOOL STANDARDS
Teachers, administrators, actors, and artists converged with the goal of producing math video content that would clarify challenging math concepts and skills. Educators examined standardized test data to determine areas of the mathematics curriculum in which students were in need of improved instruction. Next, the creativity began as our artists developed an enticing video product that has been tested in classrooms for effectiveness. At this time, the major curricular areas of mathematics addressed in the MATH PARK series are numeration, fractions & decimals and multiplication strategies.
