"Math Snacks" Atlantean Dodgeball
Ratio errors confuse one of the coaches as two teams face off in an epic dodgeball tournament.
See how mathematical techniques such as tables, graphs, measurements and equations help to find the missing part of a proportion.
Atlantean Dodgeball addresses number and operations standards, the algebra standard, and the process standard, as established by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM). It guides students in:

One-Sided Limits - Free Math Video by Brightstorm
A limit is the value that a function approaches as the input of that function approaches a certain value. In Calculus, sometimes functions behave differently depending on what side of the function that they are on. This video explains how a one-sided limit is the behavior on one only one side of the value where the function is undefined. (3:02)

The Definition of the Derivative - Free Math Video by Brightstorm
This video describes the derivative as the slope of a line that lies tangent to the curve at the specific point. The derivative is a function, and derivatives of many kinds of functions can be found, including linear, power, polynomial, exponential, and logarithmic functions. (2:09)
Derivative Definition - Problem 1
This video works through a problem that involves finding the value of the derivative. The definition of the derivative is the slope of a line that lies tangent to the curve at the specific point. The derivative is a function, and derivatives of many kinds of functions can be found, including linear, power, polynomial, exponential, and logarithmic functions. (2:31)
Biology Definition - Free Science Video by Brightstorm

The Castle by Edwin Muir (poetry reading)
Your enemy might not fight fair, so don't be too complacent. All it takes to defeat you is for someone you trust to be corruptible.
The paintings are just to provide atmosphere. The first is Dunstanburgh Castle, Northumberland. The second by Diego Rivera shows Cortez taking a bribe.

And daily from the turret wall
We watched the mowers in the hay
