Loved it! Unfortunately full screen on WMV creates a less than perfect image, but still quite enjoyable. The info was presented in a manner that catches the viewer's attention, holds it and makes learning science fun!

As a teacher of sixth grade I fear that your stress on subtraction being dead LAST as the order of operations go will be taken quite literally and they will not subtract before adding even if they appear in that order because of that stress in the video. You may just want to consider not putting so much emphasis on LAST as just being subtraction but being either addition or subtraction from left to right as the last step.

I agree with the other people who left comments. It could have been great, but the sound quality makes it unusable! Can't the guy fix that? Seems like an easy fix. Or, maybe that's why it's free?

Such incredible talent and creativity misguided to exactly what students DON
'T need! He names "timesing" fractions as the easy way and adding them as the hard way, implying they're two ways to one goal. Although the mechanics are not incorrect, he disparages academic language, completely ignores any rationale for steps in the process ( i.e. one is allowed to times top and bottom by the same number because multiplying by one doesn't change the value), and warns that further math will only get harder-- "that's not a threat, that's math."
I agree it's attention grabbing and fun-- but not good math and even worse, reinforces the too-common perception that math is hard and deliberately mean.

It moved quite quickly, had cool graphics, but the audio is a bit muffled, so some of the information is hard to follow.

Great Video! I would like to see it expanded upon to include some more interactive features (like pause the video while you practice this problem) with immediate feedback. Unfortunately, the sound quality is terrible! I couldn't use this with my class because I could barely understand what he was saying myself.

Оригинална идея!Всичко е много ясно,дори без да разбирам езика Ви.Не разбирам какво оценявате с f,d,c,но давам отлична оценка!
В България действията с обикновени дроби се изучават в 5 клас.
Поздравлелие!

If you show a model it would also be helpful for students to visualize what it means to add fractions.
Your timings of sound and numbers changing color well done.

I think the video is really good. I understand the previous comment about the voice, but its easy to get past it. Thanks for the video.

Other than the clarity issue... that is, the voice being a little difficult to understand at first, it is AWESOME! I loved it! Great work! It is very fun to present!
