“Math Solves Everyday Problems” gives examples of day-to-day problems that require math skills to solve.

In this video, a teacher explains how to describe the nature of a relationship between variables in a scatter plot, focusing on strength and direction. Using examples from Major League Baseball, the teacher demonstrates how to interpret...

In our series finale, we're going to take a look at some of the times we've used statistics to gaze into our crystal ball, and actually got it right! We'll talk about how stores know what we want to buy (which can sometimes be a good...

In this video, the teacher explains how to compare the variability in weights of professional baseball and soccer players using medians and interquartile ranges. They demonstrate that while baseball players are heavier on average, soccer...

In this video, students learn how to divide using a repeated subtraction model. The teacher uses examples of dividing baseballs and dividing boys into teams to illustrate the concept.

In this video, students learn how to find the maximum height of a baseball hit into the air by writing its quadratic function equation in vertex form. By completing the square, they can easily identify the vertex of the parabolic...

In this video, the teacher explains how to calculate and graph exponential functions using real-life scenarios. They provide examples of calculating the population of bacteria over time and the height of a bouncing baseball. The teacher...

Home base is defined by a geometric construction. Take a square whose side is 17" and then remove two corners. The adjacent sides are 8.5", and the two remaining sides are 12" and meet at a right angle. The only problem: this is an...

25-year-olds Curtis Cruz and Becky O'Hara, engineers for Rawlings Sporting Goods, have a dream job that combines their passion for baseball with their love of math and science. For more videos, activities and games visit...

Web cartoonist Randall Munroe answers simple what-if questions ("what if you hit a baseball moving at the speed of light?") using math, physics, logic and deadpan humor. In this charming talk, a reader's question about Google's data...

Today we’re going to talk about measures of central tendency - those are the numbers that tend to hang out in the middle of our data: the mean, the median, and mode. All of these numbers can be called “averages” and they’re the numbers...

In this video, the teacher explains how to compare data using a bar graph. They provide examples of comparing the number of campers who want to fish versus play baseball, as well as the number of campers who want to catch butterflies...

In this lesson, students will learn how to represent constraints on solutions by writing linear equations. Using the example of buying sodas and hot dogs at a baseball game, students will understand how to identify and define the...

In this video, the teacher explains how to report the quotient of a division problem as a whole number when there is a remainder. They use real-life examples, such as going to a baseball game and selling apples, to help students...

In this lesson, students will learn how to use statistics to understand relationships between variables and solve problems using linear regression. They will explore real-world examples, such as the correlation between team batting...

In this video, the teacher explains the concept of angles and how to identify them by observing their characteristics. Using real-world examples like flashlights and baseball field diagrams, the teacher demonstrates how angles are formed...

Learn how to determine the maximum height and time of an object thrown into the air using a quadratic function. Examine a real-life scenario of a baseball being hit and model the relationship between the height of the ball and the time....

In this video, students learn how to make predictions using the line of best fit in scatter plots. The teacher explains the concept using examples related to the weight of a car and its gas mileage, as well as the relationship between...

In this video, the teacher explains how to find the zeros of quadratic functions by analyzing tables of values. They use examples of toy rockets, soccer balls, and baseballs to illustrate the concept. The teacher emphasizes the...

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be a different shape? Well, today's read-aloud story, The Greedy Triangle, written by Marilyn Burns is all about a little triangle who decides to go on an amazing adventure to find...

EVER WANTED TO WEIGH A FART? Well, it isn't easy, but Gabe from PBS Space Time walks us through the math, physics, and science behind farts and explains how to measure them!

In this video that meets Common Core 1st grade math standards, the teacher introduces the concept of base 10 and how it makes counting and representing numbers easier. The teacher demonstrates how to count using base 10 by showing a set...

We don't have to know too much physics to do chemistry, but the electron, the particle that makes all the chemistry happen, is a quantum mechanical particle, so we have to understand it just a little bit. Don't worry, no math, just...

Today, we're looking at measures of spread, or dispersion, which we use to understand how well medians and means represent the data, and how reliable our conclusions are. They can help understand test scores, income inequality, spot...
