A video lesson in Mathematics. Using bluescreening and special FX technology, I treat the viewing audience to the most eye-popping explaination of the Order of Operations that they will ever find in my math class or any other. During the course of the video the students are given both explainations and examples, covering every level of the Order, concentrating on the most common mistakes that students make in their misunderstanding and haste. Created by a Mathematics Instructor for GED students, but useful for almost any grade level at all.
3 minutes in length.

As a teacher of sixth grade I fear that your stress on subtraction being dead LAST as the order of operations go will be taken quite literally and they will not subtract before adding even if they appear in that order because of that stress in the video. You may just want to consider not putting so much emphasis on LAST as just being subtraction but being either addition or subtraction from left to right as the last step.

Sound is awful on this video.

I agree with the other people who left comments. It could have been great, but the sound quality makes it unusable! Can't the guy fix that? Seems like an easy fix. Or, maybe that's why it's free?

Great Video! I would like to see it expanded upon to include some more interactive features (like pause the video while you practice this problem) with immediate feedback. Unfortunately, the sound quality is terrible! I couldn't use this with my class because I could barely understand what he was saying myself.

Wonderful idea, nice graphics, but the bad sound quality makes it unuseable.

I Graduated from the University of Idaho in 1994 with credentials in Secondary Physics and Mathematics. After teaching almost every possible subject the public schools have to offer-- including but not limited to--Physics, Chemistry, Astronomy, Anatomy, Earth Science, Life Science, Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, Calculus, AND a few years as a full time long term substitute teacher, I bumped myself upstairs to the University level, receiving my Masters in Adult Education in 2003. I have since taught developemental mathematics for students ages 18-80 at Idaho State University, Boise State University, and Eastern Idaho Technical College, including GED and ESL students.
