Can anyone recommend some math CDs?

<p>I figured someone here might know…
I have a series from Pro One that runs the gamut from pre-algebra to calculus–but they won’t work on our systems anymore since the package was from 1995. They work for a bout 2 weeks and then get an incompatability error. I checked online and apparently others have had this problem.
We have both Windows XP and Mac OS X.</p>

<p>I have an adult son who is trying to brush up on his skills to re-enter college and liked the format–also a son who will be taking his PSATs next year.</p>

<p>Any recommendations for products that will work on either system?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>When our D had trouble understanding Calculus, and who wouldn’t?, my husband found this great set of DVD’s, made by a company called “Standard Diviants,” not kidding, that’s their real name. They also have DVD’s for all other math topics, as well as for grammer and english-related topics. Their approach is to act out with live actors and the use of graphics problems, making it very easy to understand. Since they are DVD’s, either use them in your DVD with a TV hookup, or in your computer’s DVD, if you have one. Netflix, the online movie club carries them, so you don’t have to buy each one. Also available from their website, <a href=“http://www.standardDiviants.com%5B/url%5D”>www.standardDiviants.com</a> Good Luck, hope this helps.</p>

<p>Either spelling will take you to the link, so excuse me, I innocently gave someone some help. Maybe being a “senior member” is not necssarily a wise member of this site, tisk tisk. Should we all be so perfect!</p>

<p>actually the link that was first posted was an advertising site that listed standard deviants as being available on ebay & through the academic superstore, but not the direct link.</p>

<p>so for next time- know that if you post a link to a site- make sure that it actually takes people where you are directing them.
It isn’t really help if it doesn’t answer their question-three to go was looking for mathsoftware not xxxanime</p>

<p>I love the Standard Deviants stuff. I bought the Spanish DVD set a few years ago before my kids started high school and they would watch them while folding laundry. They both are the top Spanish students in their grades – I am sure the SD DVD’s are the reason.</p>

<p>By the way… Sometimes you can get the Standard Deviant DVD’s cheaper thru Amazon – either thru the regular market or the secondary market.</p>

<p>some people are auditory learners, my D has always found cd-roms to be very helpful dmbne- books are more useful oftentimes for linear learners</p>
