Solving 3rd and 4th Degree Polynomial Equations & Graphing Related Polynomial Functions

2009-08-03T14:17:00.005-06:00

This 81 minute advanced algebra math video lesson was made available today at MATH MADE SIMPLE . It teaches viewers how to solve 3rd and 4th degree polynomial equations using:
- common factor
- difference of squares
- trinomials
- the quadratic formula
- the factor theorem
After viewing this lesson you will understand:
- the difference between a polynomial equation and a polynomial function
- how to identify real & non-real zeros
- how to sketch the graphs of 3rd & 4th degree polynomial functions using:
the zeros (x intercepts) the sign of the leading coefficient and the y intercept
One of the example questions:
Solve x^3 – 4x^2 + 2x + 7 = 0 and sketch the graph of the function
This lessons contains explanations of the concepts and 16 example questions with step by step solutions plus 6 interactive review questions with solutions.

The Need to Improve Math Skills

2009-01-09T09:28:00.009-07:00

The New York Times reported Math Skills Suffer in U.S., Study Finds

In this article Ms. Wood, completing her doctorate in math at Princeton University, was quoted,

“There’s just a stigma in this country about math being really hard and feared, and people who do it being strange”

I was disappointed to see this but can agree (looking at my years of teaching math) that math is harder for some students than others and for some of those who do find it hard, it can become a dreaded “I just can’t do it” subject.

I have seen a lot of high school students and adult learners who have struggled with math. Their difficulties have ranged from not quite understanding a topic in class to adults who are long out of school, saying “I never could do math”. Now is the time to encourage Math students and Adult learners to find and use Math help resources.

There is simply not enough time in the week for teachers to provide all of the math help that is needed, and suitable tutoring may not be available or may be expensive. In my Continuing Ed Math classes, I’ve taught adults who at the beginning of the semester were the “I never could do math” people and by the end of the semester would say ”Math is not nearly as bad as I thought, wow!”. These adults had the ability to do Math but did not know it and did not get help when they were students.

The internet offers a great avenue to find Math help. In my case, I decided to make comprehensive and topic specific Math Video Lessons. They are available, at a reasonable price, online for downloading to a learner's computer.

My Video Lessons can also be made available to high schools with an intranet or system that would would allow students to access resources on the school’s computers. These lessons can also be a potentially valuable resource for teachers to suggest to a student when they have missed class or start to have difficulties.

Similarily these Math Video Lessons can be made available to Companies who want to provide a means for their employees to use to upgrade their Math Skills. Math Video Lessons

Download Math Help Video Lessons

Math Made Simple Is an online source of Downloadable Math Help Lessons for high school level math and some basic math (fractions, etc.) Each lesson is like a class on a particular topic and is about an hour or so long.

These straight forward video lessons are a learning resource that has helped to improve the math skills of individuals in high school, middle school, adult education, and home schooling programs. They will also be helpful in light of the situation today where there is a need for workers to retrain and upgrade their math skills for promotion, job retention or new employment opportunities.

The video lessons are a useful reference resource for Math teachers. Math teachers have recommended the videos to students who have missed a class or classes because of sports, travelling, illness or just did not quite understand the topic in class and need a little extra help. This has enabled busy teachers to find math help online for their students.

Video lessons can be downloaded 24/7 and watched as many times as necessary; thus allowing viewers to learn when they want and at their own pace. No additional materials, textbooks or tutors are required to learn Math from these lessons.

The videos explain traditionally complex concepts by utilizing a full range of teaching techniques to address individual learning styles. “Seeing, hearing, and doing” are incorporated in an interactive approach that teaches through solving examples. First there is an explanation of the concepts that is followed by seeing and hearing very clear and detailed step by step solutions to many different example questions. At the end of each lesson there is a set of Review Questions for the learner to do. Detailed solutions to the Review Questions are provided.

An Example Question:

From Lesson 300 Basic Trigonometry Part I

Currently 35 lessons are available for:

basic math, fractions etc.
algebra
trigonometry
exponents and logarithms
permutations and combinations

25 more lessons will be added soon and will include lessons for:

sequences and series (arithmetic and geometric) and summation notation
coordinate geometry
additional basic math, algebra, and trigonometry lessons.

The video lessons have all been designed and prepared by a certified math teacher. Downloads are reasonably priced at less than $US 10. per lesson.
