Basic Maths - Problem-Solving Techniques 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. PROBLEM-SOLVING TECHNIQUES This lesson introduces problem-solving techniques now that you have all the necessary concepts and methods to tackle nonstandard problems. Problems are presented that allow you to use a chart simplify a problem by reducing its size and expanded visualization of a problem. The key concept of this program is to recognize that rather than memorize specific algorithms (or methods) for each type of problem; an effective problem-solver has some techniques that can be applied to a variety of problems. You Will Learn: To use a chart to help solve a problem. To make a problem smaller or simpler to help solve it. To expand the limits of visualization to solve a problem. Valid problem-solving techniques in an attempt to solve a given problem. [show more]
