• Basic Maths - Multiplication And Division Of Integers | DVD | (20/10/2008) from £15.28   |  Saving you £4.71 (23.60%)   |  RRP £19.99

  Multiplication & Division Of Integers: This lesson is in two parts. Rather than simply applying a rule for multiplication and division of integers a logical approach uses what we know to develop a method for these computations. The PEMDAS process is applied to integer problems involving all four operations. The second part of this lesson introduces the square root. Various patterns involving square roots are investigated leading to a method of finding the square root of any square number between zero and ten thousand. You Will Learn: 1. The meaning of multiplication by a negative number. 2. To multiply integers and divide integers. 3. To apply the rules of order of operations to various integer problems. 4. To verify if a given number between 0 and 10 000 is a square number and if it is to find the square root.

• Gladiators - Bloodsport Of The Colosseum | DVD | (19/03/2001) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £14.99

  A historically accurate look at the gladiators of ancient Rome is presented in this documentary filmed mostly in Rome and at the famed ruins of Pompeii. The roots of gladiatorial combat is traced to the harshness of Roman culture, and the way fighting between slaves went from casual attractions in town squares to enormous spectacles in specially built arenas throughout the Roman empire is explained by historians. Much of what we know about gladiators emerged from clues found when the buried Roman city of Pompeii was excavated and carefully examined, and drawings of gladiators found on walls in the ancient city are shown. The Roman gladiators became wildly popular cult figures, managed by businessmen and chased by what today we would call groupies. The "sport" of combat became increasingly violent, with each successive emperor raising the stakes until literally hundreds of people were involved in bloody spectacles staged for the entertainment of a screaming crowd. Using films of scholars who faithfully re-enact the roles of gladiators, as well as stock footage from Hollywood productions, this documentary provides a fairly comprehensive introduction to how gladiators lived, fought and died. --Robert J.
