What better way to celebrate students' birthdays than by creating original math problems? In this open ended challenge, young mathematicians must make numerical expressions using parentheses, exponents, and three other operations that...

All numerical expressions are not created equal. This quick exit card problem challenges young mathematicians' understanding of the order of operations as they try to determine which of five expressions are equivalent. Include this...

Both positive and negative numbers play a part in this video. Here, Sal explains the definition and function of exponents. Especially helpful for those with the tendency to multiply an integer by its exponent, this video offers several...

The problems in this video contain additional examples of scientific notation, continued from the previous presentation. Viewers have the opportunity to see Sal work through several more problems using the same techniques he has been...

Sal gets to the heart of the matter in this video, clarifying that it's important to understand math "so you can actually apply it in life later on and not have relearn everything every time." True to his word, Sal demonstrates ways to...

After a short review on exponents, Sal moves ahead to incorporate exponent properties into his sample problems. This video is a great resource for those who need both the steady pace of Sal's instruction, and also for those who need the...

The most helpful part of this video is at the very end, when Sal demonstrates how to solve a combinations problem incorrectly (after initially finding the correct answer). The trial-and-error strategy of solving multiple-choice math...

Give your students the edge on their upcoming SAT with this video, which covers algebraic and linear equations. Math students who have a hard time transitioning between skills would benefit from seeing Sal do so.

Reviewing the last problem from the previous video because he feels that he "rushed it," Sal again explains the concept of ratios as it applies to problem 6 on the practice SAT (page 472 in The Official SAT Study Guide). Additional...

Page 459 of The Official SAT Study Guide by The College Board features another set of practice SAT math problems, beginning with problems 1-4. Sal demonstrates how to solve problems with factoring and visualization.

Problems 7-11, which involve both geometry and algebra problems, allow students to practice transitioning between skills. Sal takes time to explain the process of each problem so that students will understand the test strategies as well...

Sal crafts a demonstration around one of his "most misspelled words" - logarithms - in this thorough and understandable video. He defines a logarithm before using several examples to illustrate his point. Sal makes learning this concept...

Both positive and negative numbers play a part in this video. Here, Sal explains the definition and function of exponents. Especially helpful for those with the tendency to multiply an integer by its exponent, this video offers several...

Problems 5-7 start out with an algebraic equation involving exponents. Undaunted, Sal solves the problem easily, moving on to graphing questions and starting a problem with a geometric figure (which he continues in the next video).

A series of problems involving exponent properties is the focus of this video. Sal demonstrates rational expressions, simplifying fractions, and how to manipulate algebraic equations using exponents and division.

Sal explains how helping his young cousins with their math skills inspired him to make this series of videos, so he can help a bunch of people pass the SAT. In this video, he covers exponents, quadratics, and parabolas in problems 5-9 on...

A new set of SAT practice questions from the Official SAT Study Guide (page 803) greets Sal and the viewer. Problems 1-7 involve basic algebraic equations, linear equations, and geometric figures.

Problems 7-9 involve exponents, inequalities, and geometric figures (diameter and radius), all of which Sal explores eagerly. After misreading one problem, he takes care to correct his mistake, showing students how important it is to...

Sal demonstrates the methods needed to solve problems 8-10 in this video. He begins his lecture with a more thorough explanation of problem 7 (which he feels he "rushed" in the last video). These problems involve skills such as...

"Demystifying" an often mysterious problem, Sal demonstrates some tricks for considering exponents intuitively, rather than working them out each time. He first takes viewers through positive exponents and works up to negative exponents,...

Fifth and sixth graders explore prime numbers. They work with a partner to build rectangular arrays using twelve tiles. Factor pairs are noted and recorded on graph paper. Pupils construct rectangular arrays with a prime number and...

Youngsters respond to 10 problems that require them to calculate the products of the powers of 10 and write numbers in exponent form.

Investigate rational exponents in this math lesson. Scholars make conjectures about the relationship between rational exponents and radicals. They then use their Ti-Nspire to simplify rational exponents.

A real-world scenario of how a rumor might spread in school is used to demonstrate an exponential growth pattern.  The class will have to use reasoning skills and communicate with each other to problem solve and come up with some...
