Instructional Ideas

  • Use with the previous video in the series for a review of how to solve algebraic equations
  • The video would work well as homework in a flipped classroom

Classroom Considerations

  • Expects prior knowledge of algebraic equations
  • The final video in a six-part series on sample size equations
  • This video is hosted on YouTube

Pros

  • Provides step-by-step instructions

Cons

  • Does not explain how to solve for sample size, just how to solve to find the equation
