Basic Maths - Number Patterns Vol.1 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. Number Patterns 1 Studying number patterns is important for two reasons. First they help one better understand the concepts of arithmetic and provide a basis for understanding the concepts of more complex mathematics (algebra trigonometry calculus). Second pattern recognition is a useful problem-solving skill both in mathematics and in real-world situations. Patterns involving odd and even numbers are investigated. Patterns in multiples of certain numbers lead to an understanding of divisibility rules. Sequences are introduced to heighten sensitivity to patterns and the concept of function is introduced using patterns of number pairs. You Will Learn To determine whether an addition problem will have an odd or even answer. To determine whether a multiplication problem has an odd or even answer. To state the divisibility rules for two three five and nine. To find the next term in an arithmetic or geometric sequence given the first three terms [show more]
