Stem-and-Leaf Plots, Applying Mathematical Reasoning, Pre-Algebra
Sal helps with data organization in this video, which focuses on stem and leaf plots. Clarifying that "this is just one of many, many, many ways to visualize data that you will run into in your mathematical or statistical futures," he...
Khan Academy
Coordinate Plane Examples, Linear Equations and Functions
Sal's goal in this video is to "familiarize ourselves with the x, y-coordinate plane." If your pupils have blank expressions when you present them with graphing problems, this video will be a great help to clear up the basics.
Khan Academy
SAT Prep: Test 2 Section 6 Part 6
The most valuable part of this video isn't math-related (even though the math strategies are quite helpful); it's the way Sal replaces part of a problem that confuses him with easy-to-manipulate variable letters. Students who get hung up...
Khan Academy
Midpoint Formula, Analytic Geometry, Geometry
The midpoint formula - which Sal maintains is "silly to memorize" since you simply average - is the focus of this video. Viewers will appreciate the seamless transition between algebraic and geometric concepts in this lecture.
Khan Academy
Histograms, Applying Mathematical Reasoning, Pre-Algebra
Another way to organize data beyond the stem and leaf plot - the histogram - is the focus of this lesson. Sal's objective is to introduce viewers to these methods of organization, making them familiar and straightforward, so students can...
