- Synopsis:
"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 leaching, 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". Why arc 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? 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. This program discusses the meaning of geometry and its usefulness. Basic geometric shapes are defined and the various dimensions are discussed. The subject of angles is investigated, with a look at the different types of angles and how to measure them. Quadrilaterals are discussed, including the square, the rhombus, the parallelogram, the rectangle and the trapezoid. This leads to a discussion of area - what it measures and how we find the area of various quadrilaterals. Finally, volume is introduced and discussed.
