What do animated videos have to do with mathematics? Using operations of complex numbers and their representations on the complex plane, high schoolers observe how mathematics could be used to move animations. The lesson...

Conjugating in the math classroom — and we're not talking verbs! The seventh lesson in a series of 32 introduces the class to the building blocks of complex number division. During the instruction, the class learns to find the...

This is a to-the-point complex number skills worksheet with a fun addition of completing a maze. Learners solve problems to determine if answers are imaginary or not, in order to work their way through the maze. An average...

Individuals learn to divide and conquer complex numbers with a little help from moduli and conjugates. In the second lesson on complex number division, the class takes a closer look at the numerator and denominator of the multiplicative...

Help the class find a better way. Pupils recall finding nth roots or a complex number in polar form from a previous module to find the square root of a complex number. Using the second installment in a series of 23, scholars discover it...

Sal discusses the usefulness of the conjugate of the complex number in this video. First, he shows how to add a complex number and its conjugate graphically and algebraically. Then, he shows how to simplify a rational expression with...

In this video, a complex number is defined and graphed on the complex plane. Sal also shows how to add, subtract, and multiply two complex numbers. He shows how to divide two complex numbers but runs out of time and continues in the...

This video continues looking at dividing complex numbers by looking at the conjugate of a complex number. The instructor then uses the conjugate to rationalize the denominator of a rational expression with a complex number in the...
