Recognizing and Placing Fractions on Number Lines (Part 1)
In this video, the instructor shows you to recognize patterns on number lines and how to use those patterns to correctly place fractions in order from least to greatest.
The 8 Spelling Patterns Lesson 1
Teach Spelling-Learn to Spell with the 8 Spelling Patterns. Make Sense of Spelling and learn how easy spelling can be with this video. We put letters together 8 ways to make words. Learning spelling skills becomes easy when you learn these 8 ways of putting letters together. This is a great video to help teachers and students clearly understand those 8 ways.
Fractals in the Body
Fractal patterns turn up everywhere in biology, from the irregular rhythm of the heart to basic eye function. The fractal nature of such physiological processes, which obey simple mathematical rules, offers hope of better diagnosis and treatment of problems as well as new insights into how such processes work.

Against All Odds - Describing Relationships
'Segments describe how to use a scatterplot to display relationships between variables. Patterns in variables (positive, negative, and linear association) and the importance of outliers are discussed. The program also calculates the least squares regression line of metabolic rate y on lean body mass x for a group of subjects and examines the fit of the regression line by plotting residuals.'
#34 Hanon: How to Play Piano, How to play Hanon
The Hannon Method book takes different patterns and moves them up and down the scale. I talk about the pros and cons of the Hannon and explain the difference between the finger centric belief vs the whole body belief.(26:05)
How Music Works 2 - Rhythm - Part 2
Narrator is Howard Goodall. Video starts with a discussion of triple time patterns, which were the offspring of double time. Vocabulary such as, minims, crotchet beats, quavers, and semiquavers is also discussed. Accent is all about which beats are important and which ones are not. The important ones get stretched and the others ones do not. Syncopation came about in the 1920’s, but has really been around for ages. This is where you
20 Basic Rhythms
This video goes through different rhythmic patterns and how to count them. It demonstrates values from whole notes to sixteenth notes. Counting rests are included in this video.
How to Introduce Math to a Preschooler
A math instructor explains that math can be introduced to a preschooler by counting objects, creating simple patterns and demonstrating how different objects have different sizes in this video. Another tip is to let a toddler watch educational television to help with math skills and other ideas suggested in this video.
Cubes and Containers
Kindergarteners sort Unifix cubes in various ways, focusing on the
properties of the objects’ similarities and differences. By creating
patterns, children develop an early understanding of geometry. NCTM
standards: concepts of whole number operations, number sense and
numeration, communication, reasoning.
Thanksgiving Quilt
Creating quilt squares from construction paper, first graders develop
spatial sense as they discuss and handle different shapes. They connect geometric ideas to number ideas as they cut squares into congruent triangles. NCTM standards: geometry and spacial sense, patterns and relationships, communication, connections.
Against All Odds - 6. Time Series
'Statistics can reveal patterns over time. Using the concept of seasonal variation, this program shows ways to present smooth data and recognize whether a particular pattern is meaningful. Stock market trends and sleep cycles are used to explore the topics of deriving a time series and using the 68-95-99.7 rule to determine the control limits.'
Sleep: Brain Functions
What is the purpose of sleep? This module sets out to answer this question by exploring the patterns of a woman’s sleep and dream cycles in the setting of a sleep laboratory. Characteristics of the five stages of sleep and the typical 90-minute cycle are explained. The module also covers sleep disorders and the current techniques used to treat them.
Tennis Forehand Lesson For Beginners
This is an excerpt from a larger video segment. The tennis forehand lesson guides a tennis beginner from the basic fundamentals like the grip, stance and split step to the complete forehand sequence and the ability to rally from the baseline. (4:21)
You'll learn by first playing mini-tennis and then gradually moving back to the baseline. The tennis forehand lesson includes step-by-step videos on grip, footwork patterns, follow-through, preparation and finding the optimal technique f
5.80 Small-Molecule Spectroscopy and Dynamics (MIT)
The goal of this course is to illustrate the spectroscopy of small molecules in the gas phase: quantum mechanical effective Hamiltonian models for rotational, vibrational, and electronic structure; transition selection rules and relative intensities; diagnostic patterns and experimental methods for the assignment of non-textbook spectra; breakdown of the Born-Oppenheimer approximation (spectroscopic perturbations); the stationary phase approximation; nondegenerate and quasidegenerate perturbatio
Adriana Popescu, Priscilla Treadwell: E-books - Princeton and Beyond
Lunch 'n Learn presentation: When e-books began to appear in the early 2000’s, there was speculation about the demise of the printed book. While that clearly did not come to pass, e-books did become a staple of the reference holdings of many libraries. Since then, both the library and consumer markets have matured, and despite all predictions and speculations, at Princeton University Library, print books and e-books have continued to co-exist quite nicely.

17.037 American Political Thought (MIT)
This course surveys American political thought from the colonial era to the present. Required readings are drawn mainly from primary sources, including writings of politicians, activists, and theorists. Topics include the relationship between religion and politics, rights, federalism, national identity, republicanism versus liberalism, the relationship of subordinated groups to mainstream political discourse, and the role of ideas in politics. We will analyze the simultaneous radicalism and weak
6.170 Laboratory in Software Engineering (MIT)
This course introduces concepts and techniques relevant to the production of large software systems. Students are taught a programming method based on the recognition and description of useful abstractions. Topics include modularity, specification, data abstraction, object modeling, design patterns, and testing. Students complete several programming projects of varying size, working individually and in groups. Students are now introduced to software engineering in 6.005 Elements of Software Cons
Munger on Cultural Norms
Michael Munger of Duke University talks with EconTalk host Russ Roberts about cultural norms--the subtle signals we send to each other in our daily interactions. Mike, having returned from a four-month stint as a visiting professor in Germany, talks about the challenges of being an American in a different culture with very different expectations on how people will interact. Our speech patterns, how we wait in line, how we treat each other at the grocery, the interaction between a teacher and a s
17.181 Sustainable Development: Theory and Policy (MIT)
This course examines alternative conceptions and theoretical underpinnings of the notion of "sustainable development." It focuses on the sustainability problems of industrial countries (i.e., aging of populations, sustainable consumption, institutional adjustments, etc.); and of developing states and economies in transition (i.e., managing growth, sustainability of production patterns, pressures of population change, etc.). It also explores the sociology of knowledge around sustainabil
