Relating Fractions to the Number Line
This introductory lesson tells what fractions are using different models and examples. The instructor begins by breaking a circle into 4 parts and then making a number line broken into 4 parts. He relates to the 4 parts of the circle to the 4 parts of the number line and then places different fractions in their correct location on the number line.

Angle-Side-Angle and Angle-Angle-Side Shortcuts
This video explains how two triangles are congruent if all three corresponding sides and all three corresponding angles are congruent. If two pairs of corresponding angles and the side between them are known to be congruent, the triangles are congruent. This shortcut is known as angle-side-angle (ASA). Another shortcut is angle-angle-side (AAS), where two pairs of angles and the non-included side are known to be congruent. ASA and AAS are important when solving proofs. (1:48)
