Award winning mathematics teacher Dr Murray Siegel helps those who struggle to understand mathematics teaching not only the practical methods used in mathematics but the theory behind why these methods work. This volume aims to teach viewers all they need to know about basic geometry discussing the meaning of geometry and the uses it has in everyday life. Dr Siegel discusses the basic geometric shapes and then goes on to cover concepts such as area angles and volume.

Why are students not embarrassed when they say ""I can't do math""? You rarely hear from a high school student that ""I can't do history"" or ""I can't do English"" because they can't read. Why do we accept that some students just don't have the aptitude for math while we assume that everyone has the aptitude to read? Basic Math is taught by Murray Siegel of Marietta Georgia. Dr. Siegel holds his doctorate in Mathematics Education and has taught math since 1974. He has received the Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematic Teaching is designated as a Master Teacher by the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation and was named by Kentucky Educational Television as the ""Best Math Teacher in America"".

Sir Georg Solti (1912-97) had a special link with Bartok's 'Sonata for Two Pianos and Percussion' - he turned the pages for Bartok's wife when she and her husband premiered the piece in Budapest in 1938. Half a century later with pianist Murray Perahia and percussionists Evelyn Glennie and David Corkhill he produced a recording of this masterwork. This film observes the musicians at work during the marathon CBS recording sessions and includes a performance of the completed work.

The structure of the fraction-numerator and denominator-is related to the whole number. Fundamental fractional operations such as equivalent fractions reducing simplifying and writing a mixed number as an improper fraction are introduced. These operations are vital if one is to successfully compute with fractional numbers. You Will Learn: 1. To define the numerator of a fraction as its ""digit"" and the denominator as its ""place value"". 2. To compute equivalent fractions. 3. To reduce fractions to lowest terms. 4. To simplify an improper fraction to a mixed number. 5. To convert a mixed number to an improper fraction.
