"I have to tell you that my class has so much fun watching this DVD. They really enjoy D.J. Doc Roc. He has them laughing and rapping along. They love trying to say the answers before he does. This makes a fun learning game that helps insure that they learn their addition and subtraction facts. Rock 'N Learn has done a fine job with this DVD." – Randi C.
"Right now, my students are learning/reviewing addition facts and taking timed assessments. By the end of the year, we will go through all of the subtraction and half of the multiplication facts. So, finding a way to make our daily addition fact practice more interesting is welcomed. I found I really liked that each chapter on the disc had its own mini-lesson. It took on chunks of facts rather than all of them at once. This is nice because I have been able to show certain clips as they are appropriate. The clips are short. Each being only a few minutes, it does not consume a great deal of time in the day. So, showing it as a review is not a big deal. I don't have to set aside special time to "show a video." I just cue up the part I want to show that day and in a few minutes (less than 5 minutes) the kids have had a review of our current facts. I have used this as a supplement to our normal facts lessons.
“The "rap" is fun for the kids. Each rap has a theme, such as the "Adding Machine." They are clear, there isn't a question as to what the rapper said. It had a simple beat that the students were able to keep with the rapper. Plus, it was interactive. In the review sections, there is a wait time. The rapper asks, "4 plus 5 is..." And, there is a pause, or wait time, to give the students a chance to respond before the answer is given. Meaning, immediate feedback! I have been using this for about a week and a half in class. With the last assessment (the first full week of using it) I saw noticeable gains in the students' speed and accuracy. Plus, the students ask me regularly if we can watch some of it because they too really enjoy it. Overall, I would recommend Rock 'N Learn's Addition and Subtraction Rap for any parent or teacher to help your children with addition and subtraction math facts." – Classroom Tools Review Blog"I like Addition & Subtraction Rap DVD. Because D.J. Doc Roc is cool and helps me learn. Your friend, Chris, age 7."

Positive lyrics encourage and motivate kids while holding their attention. Several songs feature delayed answers, allowing students to check their progress. Perfect for learning addition or subtraction facts at home or in the classroom.
Addition & Subtraction Rap video provides colorful visual cues and engaging, animated characters making it ideal for students who are primarily visual learners or those who learn best by a multisensory approach.
