Basic Maths - Adding Fractions DVD

The Basic Math series covers basic math problems from addition subtraction multiplication and division of whole numbers fractions and decimals to percentages ratios and proportions as well as exponents powers intro to geometry graphing number theory and patterns problem solving statistics and simple equations. 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"". In Dr. Siegel's eyes if you can't ""do math"" you should be just as embarrassed as someone who cannot read. Now there's no need to be embarrassed anymore. This series is the easiest way to become mathematically literate. Adding Fractions: In this lesson we discover that addition of fractions is related to the addition of whole numbers. Addition of fractions with like denominators and then addition of those with unlike denominators are accomplished. Writing the answers in simplest terms is discussed. What has been learned about adding fractions is applied to adding mixed numbers. A logical step-by-step process is developed. You Will Learn: 1. To add fractions with like denominators. 2. To add fractions with unlike denominators. 3. To convert fractional answers to simplest terms. 4. To add mixed numbers. [show more]
