... as well as exponents, powers, intro to geometry, graphing number theory and patterns, problem solving, statistics and simple equations. Why are students not embarrassed when they say, "I can't do math"? You rarely hear from a high school student, that, "I can't do history", or "I can't do English", because they can't read. Why do we accept that some students just don't have the aptitude for math, while we assume that everyone has the aptitude to read? Basic Math is taught by Murray Siegel of Marietta, Georgia. Dr. Siegel holds his doctorate in Mathematics Education, and has taught math since 1974. He has received the Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematic Teaching, is designated as a Master Teacher by the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation and was named by Kentucky Educational Television as the "Best Math Teacher in America". In Dr. Siegel's eyes, if you can't "do math" you should be just as embarrassed as someone who cannot read. Now, there's no need to be embarrassed anymore. This series is the easiest way to become mathematically literate. Long Division In this lesson a story example-the magazine delivery problem-is used to develop the universal procedure for a division problem. "Divide, multiply, subtract, bring down" is no longer a mantra but has become a well-understood sequence of steps related to a concrete problem. Various types of long-division problems are discussed. They include one-digit divisors, two-digit divisors and a zero in the answer. The rationale for why one cannot divide by zero is explained. You Will Learn To make a valid estimate for a division problem. To divide by a one-digit divisor. To divide by a two-digit divisor. Be able to explain why you cannot divide by zero.
