Rounding Whole Numbers 3
Sal Khan completes the 3-part rounding series with this Khan Academy video on rounding to the nearest 10. He references the actions taken in video 2, so students would be best served if all three videos where shown in sequence.
Khan Academy
Rounding Whole Numbers 1
Rounding is an important skill which must be used throughout the study of mathematics. This Khan Academy video is the first in a series of 3. It shows how to round the number 24,259 to the nearest hundred, using a number line.

Adding Polynomials
Adding two polynomials begins with simplifying when possible. Sal demonstrates the process he uses to combine like terms and explains why the process works. This video would be great for those who need a quick refresher.
Curated OER
Polynomial divided by monomial
Let's think about the ways in which a person could simplify an expression where a polynomial is divided by a monomial. Sal shares 3 different modes he could use to simplify, then uses each way to solve the same problem.
Curated OER
Dividing Monomials
Here is a quick look at how one could simplify a monomial expression involving division. Sal works a problem and briefly explains his process. Great as a concept review.
Curated OER
Monomial Greatest Common Factor
Sal explains that the greatest common factor of any number is the largest number divisible into both monomials and not necessarily the number with greatest value. He breaks down two numbers into their prime factors as a product of its...
Curated OER
Factoring the Difference of Squares
Practice is an important learning tool. This practice problem allows students to apply their know-how to factoring a binomial with a difference of squares. Sal explains his process briefly, which makes this video appropriate for those...
Curated OER
Factoring Sum of Cubes
Here is a special form of a sum of cubes problem, where students use algebraic multiplication to rewrite each term in expanded form. Sal gives an example prior to solving the problem in order to show the process that he will use to...

Solving for F in Terms of C, Linear Equations, Algebra I
The instructor uses the temperature formula to illustrate how the variables can be manipulated to solve a problem.
Khan Academy
Recognizing Linear Functions, Linear Equations and Functions
Starting with a set of values for the x and y variables, this video shows how to tell whether these points determine a linear or non-linear function. Sal first defines linear functions in terms of the change in y over the change in x,...
Khan Academy
Dividing Mixed Numbers, Fractions, Pre-Algebra
Before Sal can divide a mixed number, he has to rewrite it as an improper fraction. He explains that dividing a fraction is the same as multiplying it by its reciprocal and that you can "cancel out" numbers to make multiplying easier.
Khan Academy
Solving Percent Problems, Decimals, Pre-Algebra
Converting percents to decimals, and the other way around, can be tricky. Sal shows young mathematicians how to simplify this process with two sample equations and one word problem.
Khan Academy
Adding Fractions with Like Denominators, Fractions, Pre-Algebra
Show your students this presentation to help them understand how to add fractions with like denominators. Sal adds 3/15 to 7/15 and then simplifies his answer. He uses drawings and multiple colors to show the actual process.
