Participating Taco Bell® restaurants across the U.S. will donate 15 percent of their gross sales on April 23, 2009 to the Taco Bell Foundation for Teens (the "Foundation")—the company's   more...non-profit organization dedicated to helping teens graduate from high school and be prepared for college, careers and life. This nationwide campaign aims to double the Foundation's annual giving goal. At the same time, the Foundation is providing consumers a chance to win one of four $25,000 scholarships as an added bonus.

[NOTE: This video is only the first 20 minutes of the full lesson, please visit my website to purchase complete version] This lesson consists of providing you with a Self-Tutorial on how to solve typical   more...linear word problems (story problems or applied problems). The tutor shows you how to solve for a specific variable in formulas. He also discusses how to covert a repeating decimal into a fraction (which was skipped in Basic Math: Lesson 6 -"Fractions") and will teach you how to convert units of measurement.
Examples of word problems done include:
Finding a number based on certain criteria.
Word problems involving some geometry (triangle, rectangle, circle).
Age problems.
Mixture problems.
Money problems (story of my life!).
Rate-Time-Distance problems.
Percent Equations/problems.
Ratio and Proportion (concepts and solving problems, including similar triangles).
Problems dealing with Unit Price.  less

While Congress continues to pour billions into a bailout stimulus plan for the banking sector as a solution for economic recovery, alternative financial institutions like United Federal Credit Union (UFCU)   more...are standing up and speaking out about being another resolution to the financial crisis, and an institution that Americans can trust.

[NOTE: This video is only the first 18 minutes of the full lesson, please visit my web site to purchase complete version] Lesson consists of providing you with a Self-Tutorial on how to solve linear equations.   more...I discuss what is an Equation, Solution, Solution Set, Equivalent Equations, Identity, Contradictions, Conditional Equations, Linear Equations, the Standard Form of a Linear Equation. I show you how to actually SOLVE linear equations going step-by-step. I don't skip steps. I review some of the properties of Equality here too. I remind you to check the work done and how to solve linear equations using a calculator. At the end, you will know how to easily solve equations that look like:
2[y - (4y - 1)] = 5 - 9y
No word problems are done here. This is shown in DETAIL in Part 2 of the Lesson.  less

This video is to help students in math and science classes learn the Greek alphabet. The pronunciation is the English way of saying the letters in an American accent. It is NOT meant for those actually   more...trying to learn Greek as a foreign language.  less

This lesson consists of providing you with a basic review of the formulas from geometry you will most likely encounter in algebra (and other math classes like trigonometry and calculus). This is NOT a   more...detailed, formal lesson.
Formulas and concepts covered include:
Angles (complementary & supplementary)
Triangles (perimeter and area)
Isosceles triangle
Equilateral triangle
Right triangle
The Pythagorean Theorem
Similar triangles
Perimeter and area formulas for Quadrilaterals (square, rectangle, parallelogram, trapezoid). Some diagonal formulas too, where applicable.
Circles (radius, diameter, circumference, area)
Cube (diagonal of face, diagonal of cube, surface area and volume)
Rectangular box [or Rectangular Parallelepiped] (diagonal of box, surface area and volume)
Prisms (Volume)
Pyramids (Volume)
Cone (slant height, lateral surface area, total surface area, volume)
Cylinder (lateral surface area, total surface area, volume)
Sphere (surface area and volume)  less

[NOTE: This video is only the first 11 minutes of the full lesson, please visit my web site to purchase complete version] This lesson consists of providing you with a Self-Tutorial on what is algebra,   more...what are variables, constants, coefficients, terms, and expressions. I explain the use of proper notation, how to combine like terms, find the negation of an algebraic expression, how to evaluate an expression (by hand and by using your calculator), and finally, there is a VERY detailed section on how to translate English phrases into algebraic expressions.  less

This lesson consists of providing you with a Self-Tutorial of the basic units used in measurement. These are the ones I discuss:
Units of Time, Units of Length (Metric and U.S.), Units of Area (Metric   more...and U.S.), Units of Volume (Metric and U.S.), Units of Mass (Metric and U.S.), Units of Liquid Capacity (Metric and U.S.), Units of Dry Capacity (Metric and U.S.), and other miscellaneous Units. Conversion Formulas and Abbreviations are also listed.
This is a "must have" Lesson for those moving on to solving Word Problems in Algebra and other higher math.  less

Step-by-step answers to the quiz that is at the end of the Lesson Notes.

Concepts covered: Subtraction of Improper and Proper Fractions and also Mixed Numbers.

Concepts covered: Multiplication of Improper and Proper Fractions and also Mixed Numbers.

Concepts covered: Step-by-Step directions on how to perform (by hand and using the calculator) the following conversions:
Improper Fraction -> Mixed Number
Mixed Number -> Improper Fraction
Common   more...Fraction -> Decimal Form
Terminating Decimal -> Fraction
Repeating Decimal -> Fraction (calculator only-- by hand is covered in Algebra)
Decimal -> Percentage
Common Fraction -> Percentage
Percentage -> Decimal
Percentage -> Common Fraction
Converting Ratios  less

Concepts covered: Decimal Fraction, Percentage, and Ratio.

Concepts covered: Least (or Lowest) Common Denominator and learn how to compare the sizes of different fractions.

Concepts covered: Like Fractions, Common Denominator, Equivalent Fractions, Reduced Fraction, Lowest Terms (or Simplest Form), The Cancellation Method, The GCF Method, and Higher Form.

Concepts covered: Proper Fraction, Improper Fraction, Mixed Number, and Complex Fraction.

An informal introduction to why we need to learn about fractions.
Lesson 6 consists of providing you with a Self-Tutorial on all about fractions. This lesson is different from the previous ones in that   more...the use of printed Notes is integrated with the Video (other Notes may be used independently of the videos). This lesson is VERY detailed and covers the necessary areas to help students review the many aspects of fractions and fraction conversions. I also show you how to perform all the many different fraction operations and conversions using the TI-84+ Graphing Calculator.  less

This lesson consists of showing you how to use the Sieve of Eratosthenes to find all prime numbers below a certain value. In this case, below 100.

This lesson consists of giving you the necessary "preliminaries" to do fractions. I explain what are factors, divisors, prime and composite numbers, how to do prime factorization, GCFs, LCMs,   more...multiples, and the rules of divisibility. I also explain how to use your graphing calculator to help you find the GCF, LCM and multiples.  less
