Who's the best for the job? A modeling lesson plan asks your class to analyze job applicants before deciding who to hire to best get the work done. Pupils work in groups to find the best combination of workers that will be able to meet...

Climb up the staircase of engineering knowledge. After watching a video of a carpenter measuring out steps for a set of stairs, pupils learn about the terminology and regulations involving stairs. They see how to use a rule of thumb when...

Breaking the law isn't possible when talking about the Law of Sines. Individuals learn to apply the Law of Sines to solve problems involving triangles. They also learn to derive the Law of Sines.

Take a different view at matrix multiplication. Based on vector transformations, the video presents matrix multiplication as the result of the composition of multiple linear transformations. The presentation explains the numerical...

Tip—start with the inner most nested grouping symbol. The resource provides an explanation of the conventional method in nesting grouping symbols and using parentheses, brackets, and braces. The video provides two examples, one involving...

If your math students are having a hard time with graphing and slopes, this video could be a great resource as they prepare for the SAT. Sal takes care in explaining his thought process, making sure where to note different strategies to...

This video highlights a problem your pupils will find interesting. Instead of trying to solve an inequality for a value or set of values, this problem requires that the learner construct an inequality and interpret its mean by reasoning...

Sal's goal in this video is to "familiarize ourselves with the x, y-coordinate plane." If your pupils have blank expressions when you present them with graphing problems, this video will be a great help to clear up the basics.

"Demystifying" an often mysterious problem, Sal demonstrates some tricks for considering exponents intuitively, rather than working them out each time. He first takes viewers through positive exponents and works up to negative exponents,...

In this video, Sal shows how the sine and cosine of an angle are defined on the unit circle. He inscribes a 30-60-90 triangle in the unit circle and explains how one can use SOH-CAH-TOA to find the coordinates on the circle.
