Why do exams always tell you to use a number 2 pencil? What happens if you don’t? Quick Questions explains!

In this short video we will answer a standardized high school math test question where we identify an equivalent exponential expression by simplifying. We will begin by using the Power to a Power Rule to "distribute" an exponent outside...

In this short video we will answer a standardized math test question using similar triangles to find a unknown angle. We will begin by reviewing the definition of similar figures. We will identify the corresponding angles and use the...

In this shorts video we will answer a standardized math test question using similarity. We will begin by identifying key information given in the problem and by defining similar figures. We will use this definition to identify the...

In this short math video we will use function notation to translate a function. We will understand that translating a function down impacts the y-coordinate of EVERY point on the function. We will rewrite the function by subtracting 4...

In this shorts math video, we will answer a standardized math test question about the conditional probability of drawing a blue marble from a bag of marbles. We will review the information provided to understand the number of marbles in...

In this short video we will Solve for x to determine the correct solution. We will first distribute to clear parentheses. Since the equation has variables on both sides, we will collect variable terms to one side using inverse...

In this shorts video we will find an unknown side length. We are given a pair of triangles and told they are similar figures. Using the definition of similar figures, similar figures have corresponding sides that are proportional, we...

In this shorts video we will rotate a segment 180 degrees. Will will understand that a rotation of 180 degrees is two 90 degree turns. We will rotate about a point or vertex, so, this will be the center of rotation. We will graph the...

In this shorts video we will factor a quadratic to solve a problem. We will draw and label a picture to represent the problem. We will use a square to model perfect squares and support factoring a quadratic. This quadratic is a...

In this shorts video we will learn how to write the equation of a line. We will begin by discovering that all the given answer choices are in slope-intercept form; y=mx+b. We will then review the information about the line that is...

In this shorts video we will learn how to factor a trinomial to answer a standardized math test question. We will first examine our answer choices and understand that each has been factored using a value of 8. We will use the table...

In this shorts video we will determine which graph is a linear function. We will first determine which of the four graphs is linear by understanding linear means a straight line. We will then learn how to determine which graph is a...

In this shorts video we will learn how to estimate a square root using a number line. We will first rewrite each integer value on the number line with its equivalent perfect square. We will identify which two perfect squares the...

In this shorts video we will learn how to find the volume of a cone. We will begin by writing the formula. We will identify the missing variables or dimensions of the cone. Using the provided image we will identify the diameter and...

In this shorts video we will answer a standardized math test question by comparing rates in miles per hour. We will read the information provided. We will determine the miles per hour from a graph. We will understand the graph shows a...

In this shorts video we will answer a standardized math test question by finding difference using temperature. We will create a vertical number line to represent a thermometer. We will plot our given temperatures. We will understand...

In this shorts video we will answer a standardized math test question by using the distributive property. We will understand that the parentheses represent multiplication in the given expression. We will learn that the parentheses in...

In this shorts video we will find the radius of a circle using area. We will begin with identifying the formula for finding the area of a circle. We will highlight the given information and rewrite the area formula using the given...

In this shorts video we will learn about fractions & repeating decimals. We will rewrite the fraction as a repeating decimal. We will set up long division and divide to identify the repeating digits. We will write the repeating...

In this shorts video we will be writing a real world linear system. We will recognize that each equation in the given systems is written in slope-intercept form. We will understand that m represents the slope which is the unit rate in...

In this shorts video we will find the area of a Valentine's Day Heart. We will be presented with a composite figure, a heart. A composite figure is a figure composed of two or more two-dimensional figures. The heart is formed by a...

In this shorts video we will be solving for x using algebra tiles. We will solve a multistep algebraic equation. You will be introduced to algebra tiles where a "long" green tile represents x and the small square tiles represent...

In this shorts video we will ask ourselves is the product or quotient positive or negative. We will review the question and recognize that all number facts are either multiplication or division. We will review the rule which states...
