Basic Maths - Dividing Fractions And Review Of 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. Dividing Fractions & Review of Fractions: This lesson has two primary objectives.
