Algebra by Video-On-Demand

Annenberg Media has posted all 26 half-hour video-on-demand programs from its Algebra: In Simplest Terms series. The sessions are free after registering on the website, and are designed for high school and college users.

In this series, host Sol Garfunkel explains how algebra is used for solving real-world problems and clearly explains concepts that may baffle many students. Graphic illustrations and on-location examples help students connect mathematics to daily life. The series also has applications in geometry and calculus instruction. Algebra is also valuable for teachers seeking to review the subject matter.
