This program covers the important topic of calculating Arc Length with Parametric Equations in Calculus. We begin by discussing what an Arc Length is in the context of Parametric Equations is and why it is a central topic in Calculus. Next, we solve several practical calculus problems that give students practice with these calculations. The entire lesson is taught by working example problems beginning with the easier ones and gradually progressing to the harder problems. Emphasis is placed on giving students confidence in their skills by gradual repetition so that the skills learned in this section are committed to long-term memory.
This program covers the important topic of Mathematical Expectation in Probability and Statistics. We begin by discussing what Mathematical Expectation is and why it is important. Next, we solve several problems that involve the Mathematical Expectation to give students practice with the material. The entire lesson is taught by working example problems beginning with the easier ones and gradually progressing to the harder problems. Emphasis is placed on giving students confidence in their skills by gradual repetition so that the skills learned in this section are committed to long-term memory.

In this dynamic program, our presenter wants to make a YouTube music video for her best friend's band, but they can't agree on which song to do! The solution: survey the target market - their friends and family - to find out which song they like best, as well as other relevant information. What at first seems a simple task provides an opportunity to learn all about statistics. We discover how to sample data, present the data, and draw valid conclusions from the data analysis. Along the way we learn about quantitative and nominal data, and mean, median and mode.

Create intentional learning opportunities for children in mathematical thinking. This DVD includes video clips showing preschool children engaged in early learning and problem solving, teacher interviews, classroom planning sessions, directions for making learning materials, and PowerPoint presentations for instructors.
How do children develop mathematical concepts, and how can you as a teacher use this knowledge to guide your planning? Can reflection help you modify your classroom environment and instructional strategies? Can you intentionally integrate mathematics throughout the early childhood classroom?
Chapter One: Knowledge of Mathematical Development Guides Planning
Chapter Two: Teacher Reflection Informs Planning

Reviews
3 &1/2 Stars. " Fast-paced,yet easy to follow,this affordable introduction is highly recommended for science or math curriculums." - Video Librarian.
" This excellent production to statistics focuses on the work of "Students for a Better Earth" and how they use recycling in their communityˇK the male narrator is easily understood and important facts are written on-screen. The video features gender & racial diversity and uses a variety of formats which will keep viewers engaged: live action, animation, charts, drawings and still photos. This delightful production would be an excellent introduction to intermediate & middle school collections." - School Library Journal.
This program examines the use of probability theory in statistics and looks at how probability is determined including relative frequency and how to determine the total possible outcomes of an event. It also looks at how to use probability to make predictions about the future behavior of people, events and nature.
This program explores how to interpret statistical data using graphical and mathematical models. The meaning of bell curves and averages are discussed along with skewed data and patterns which form on graphs.

Matrix Algebra can be difficult for students to understand because although it has applications in algebra, it looks completely different than previous algebra lessons learned. The material in this series is covered in most advanced high school algebra classes and in university linear algebra courses. This series teaches matrix algebra just as if students had a personal tutor. Every matrix algebra lesson is taught by fully worked example problems that help students not only do well in class, but truly understand the concepts taught. If students need assistance to improve their grades in linear algebra, the Matrix Algebra Tutor will provide the tools they need to succeed.
The Matrix Algebra Tutoris a complete 10 lesson series covering all of the core topics in detail.
What sets this series apart from other teaching tools is that the concepts are taught entirely through step-by-step example problems of increasing difficulty. It works by introducing each new concept in an easy to understand way and using example problems that are worked out step-by-step and line-by-line to completion. If a student has a problem with coursework or homework, simply find a similar problem fully worked on in the series and review for the steps needed to solve the problem.
Students will be able to work problems with ease, improve their problem-solving skills and understand the underlying concepts of Matrix Algebra.
Program Features:
Improve students problem-solving skills
Teaches how to solve problems step-by-step & line-by-line
Working example problems of increasing difficulty
Students Will Learn Everything From:
How to define a matrix
Adding & subtracting matrices
Gaussian Elimination & Gauss-Jordan Elimination
How to solve systems using matrix inverses
Matrix determinants & Cramer's Rule
