The Golden X
Let's learn to find X in different equations and in some examples. Video is good for students are having a hard time understanding solving for an unknown.
The Algebra Slide Song and Dance
Students do a song and dance in a classroom about solving equations with addition and subtraction. It was created for an algebra class.  (Run time 2:54)
These are some of the lyrics for the song:
Alright we gonna do the basic steps
You must isolate
The Variable
From the rest
Of the equation
Then use
Inverse operations
Lets subtract now first
X 5
Equals -13...
So whats x equal?
Well you add 5
To both side
Problem Solving in Mathematics
Problem Solving in Mathematics. Part of the series: Math Equations, Fractions; Problem Solving. To problem solve in mathematics, take each problem step-by-step, expand the problem for more clarity and be meticulous with each stage of the problem. Solve equations, formulas and other math are exlained in this four minute video. This video moves very rapidly and so a replay and stopping the video may be of value.
Solving One-Step Equations
Equations are fundamental to Algebra, and solving one step equations is necessary for students in order to learn how to solve two-step equations, and other multi-step equations. This video clip explains the difference between an equation and an expression. (1:15)
Solving Two-Step Equations
Solving two-step equations will help introduce students to solving equations in multiple steps, a skill necessary in Algebra I and II. This video explains how to solve these types of equations by using additive and multiplicative inverses to isolate and solve for the variable. (00:46)
Supply and Demand

Time-lapse movie of a Föhn wave
Time lapsed photography of a Fohn Wave. A Fohn Wave is a cloud form created by atmospheric standing waves. These waves are created as stable air flows over a mountain range, and can either form above or in the lee of the range. As an air mass travels through the wave, it undergoes repeated uplift and descent. This video has no sound. Run time 01:38.
French-The Past Perfect Tense
In this video, we see and hear how to create regular and irregular past participles. The helping verbs avoir and etre are conjugated and then we see how to put them together to form the past perfect tense.
Thank Goodness for Gravity
The boy featured in this video has concerns about spinning through space on Earth until he is introduced to a Foucault pendulum. He learns that French scientist Jean Bernard Léon Foucault used his knowledge of pendulums to demonstrate Earth’s rotation and how that movement is a steady, measurable motion rather than a dangerous one. KET adapted this video from the original produced by the Lexington Public Library in Lexington, KY. Run time 05:46.
Using the Distributive Property
The distributive property is one of the most important and fundamental parts of algebra. In this video the math teacher shows how to break down the equation in to the simplier components. Shows negative numbers also. This is a great beginning video. Video is good quality and good for all students as review or initial learning of concept.
