He gives the highlights of what makes up uniform convergence and convergence. A great intro to the concept of convergence for advanced mathematics.
Lugosi teaches math - uniform convergance2
In this video, Béla Lugosi continues with his teaching of the concept of uniform convergence. Though Lugosi is lecturing, it is as though he is having a discussion with you at times during this lecture, and discusses numerous properties of uniform convergence. Lugosi's passion for advanced mathematics is evident in this video.
Two Terrains - Distance, Rate, and Time - A Virtual Manipulative
This manipulative is from the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics website. Some vehicles fly down the highway, while others are dirt-track specialists. This activity allows you to explore the relationships between distance, rate, and time. Can you identify the best path for a vehicle? Try to predict what will happen if you set on‑road or off‑road performance measures.
Note: There are more instructions by the manipulative.

How to Estimate the Size of the Sun
This video shows how to estimate the diameter of the sun including step by step instructions for constructing the equipment needed and an overview of the geometry of similar triangles.
The video also includes a brief introduction to the techniques used by the ancient Greeks to determine the size of the moon, distance to the moon and the distance to the sun. For junior and intermediate schools this video supports the mathematics and astronomy components of the curriculum.
History of Mathematics : Who Invented Math?
To learn who invented math, first one must define what math is exactly. Learn who invented math from a mathematics instructor. He discusses whether or not the neandarthal man did know about mathematics. Speech of narrarator is shown as text on the bottom of the screen.

The GeometricTransformations
Many times in mathematics and in geometry in particular,
visualization of the concepts that are being taught is difficult for
students. This problem can be avoided with the use of a tool such as
Geometers Sketchpad. One of the best attributes of this program is that it is not a drill and practice program, but instead it requires the
students further develop their understanding of mathematical concepts. This lesson was designed to help make the concepts of translations, ro
Helpful Ways to Teach Geometry
This video shows that visual aids such as pictures are helpful in teaching geometry. Dr. Stefan Forcey received his Ph.D. in mathematics from Virginia Tech University in 2004. He is currently teaching mathematics as an assistant professor at Tennessee State University.
Are You Convinced?
Proof making is one of the key ideas in mathematics. Looking at
teachers and students grappling with the same probability problem, we see how two kinds of proof — proof by cases and proof by induction —naturally grow out of the need to justify and convince others.
Building on Useful Ideas
One of the strands of the Rutgers long-term study was to find out how
useful ideas spread through a community of learners and evolve over
time. Here, the focus is in on the teacher’s role in fostering
thoughtful mathematics.
Building on What We Know: Cognitive Processing -Session 3
This program covers how prior knowledge, expectations, context, and
practice affect processing and using information and making connections. Featured are a first-grade teacher, a ninth- and 10th-grade mathematics teacher, and a special education teacher, with expert commentary from Stanford University professor Roy Pea.
