Rooster Morris has hit a great balance between appeal to young children and subtle humor t teens on their toes to catch it all.

Rooster’s recordings are amazing as he depicts each cleverly named character with different voices.

Here’s a note from a teacher who wanted to comment about her experience with mastery of math facts.  There is some debate in the educational community as to whether learning math facts is as important as, or needed as much as understanding the underlying math concepts. Here’s how she weighs in on the subject.  By the way… we agree with her..CJ

I am sorry that I had to miss last night’s webinar, but I already listened to it tonight.  I wanted to make a comment about David’s experience with the administrator with whom he spoke at length:  I agree with her comment that conceptual understanding of math is very important, because it is, after all, the end goal of math education, ie, to be able to use math in daily life (which is simulated in word problems in text books).  However, in my teaching I have found that children that have a “rapid recall” of all math facts have a greater self confidence in tackling math concepts.  Moreover, they are not bogged down with struggling with math facts while trying to picture in their minds the problem at hand.  Also, if they have a rapid recollection that adding and multiplication of whole numbers INCREASE the amount and subtraction and division DECREASE the amount they are working with, then the concept of the math operation needed to solve the problem will come a little easier.  I am tutoring a 7th grader right now who is still counting on her fingers when doing computations, and this has to be remedied, because her accuracy is hindered.  (In math if the answer is not completely right, then it is completely wrong.)  In many ways, knowing the math facts so quickly and accurately is the foundation of math education.
