"The virtual school videos for South African learners in the category "maths". The fun way to learn maths! Make sure to have a look at the entire list from top to bottom! "
I know that this was already shared with the math group, but this is to the main site. Not just the PDF file. These are videos to help put reasons behind why we would learn math concepts and what are they related to. I think they can also serve as a good model for student math projects.
"Why Learn It (WLI) aims to address the issue of motivation around learning math by helping students
explore the beauty and relevance of what they would otherwise dismiss as inconsequential in school.
Targeting late middle-school and early high-school students, WLI takes a hybrid approach to cultivat-
ing motivation. It leverages the engagement value of short (approximately three-minute long) videos
depicting real people talking about how math and computational thinking are critical to their successes
in a number of professional areas. Students then complete a series of interactive exercises that help
students explore an application area discussed in the video in more detail. These exercises, however,
are not simply drill problems aimed at making students experts in a particular content area. Instead,
they are multi-step assignments that require the students to draw upon both detailed mathematical
knowledge and a big picture view of how this knowledge can be used to draw useful, meaningful
conclusions. The exercises are focused on bridging the worlds of number, images, and sounds in or-
der to help students build intuition around a particular topic. Therefore, while some questions have
objectively correct responses, others require students to gather knowledge they have built through
answering previous questions within the packet to draw new inferences. Hints are provided along the
1
way to ensure students receive assistance when necessary. Finally, WLI is housed online and is oered
for free, signifying minimal barriers to usage by educators and students."
Series of videos by Khan Academy, a not-for-profit organization with the mission of giving access to knowledge to anyone, anywhere.
Great opportunity for students to see lectures at their own pac.
An interactive video starring the BBC's Dick and Dom. Go on their adventure and solve decimal problems on the way.

Maths Solutions features experienced teachers demonstrating solutions to a series of maths problems that are known to challenge students.
The solutions are presented as a series of short video clips displayed on the screen in a step-by-step format; in the same way as a teacher writing on a page or whiteboard.
Choose the maths area that you need help with.
"New president is a nationally known math professor and educational innovator" "In 1997, Burger became one of the first individuals to make instructional mathematics videos accessible to a broader audience through mediums such as CD-ROMs and the Internet. Since then, he has created more than 3,000 such videos covering the curriculum from kindergarten through college-level mathematics that are watched by millions of people from around the world. "
