The Real Numbers: Number System

One thing that puzzles a lot of young algebrists is the factors in a word problem that are taken as "understood". This presentation on solving systems of linear inequalities does a great job walking the learner through how to tease those...

Here is a challenging motion problem about two different length trains and how long it takes them to pass each other going in the same direction and opposite directions. At first glance, there doesnÕt seem to be enough information given...

Another method for solving systems of equations, other than graphing, is the focus in this video as Sal demonstrates substitution. It's important to understand that there is more than one way to solve any problem, especially if one has a...

Elimination is another method for solving systems of equations, in addition to graphing and substitution. Sal's lecture is straightforward to understand, even for students who struggle with learning. By having a variety of options when...

Sal begins this video by "massaging the equations slightly to prepare them for elimination." The equations won't be the only relaxed part of this lesson, which introduces the concept of multiplication to systems of equations. Viewers...

Sal works through several problems involving rational and irrational numbers and shows how to find the difference. This video is a good stepping stone for those preparing to take on more challenging algebra work.

This video focuses on metric unit conversion. Sal introduces the necessary prefixes before launching into several mathematical examples. His easygoing manner and explanative annotations will undoubtedly help those who get a little stuck...

Time is on your side. Scholars plot three points on number lines with different time units to represent the time it takes three people to bake pies. They determine the fastest baker and the difference in times between the bakers.

Cook up a good resource for systems of linear inequalities. Using an interactive, individuals graph a system of linear inequalities to represent constraints on the number of cookies a person must bake. A set of challenge questions...

Learners sometimes struggle to understand the concept of adding and subtracting integers. Help them see the why behind their answers using the interactive number line. The values change as individuals adjust the number line for each new...
