"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". 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? 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. In this program, perimeter is defined and the methods of computing the perimeter are discussed. Triangles are thoroughly investigated. Triangles are defined by angles and by sides. The formula for the area of a triangle is explained. The Circle is defined and the various parts of a circle are introduced. The circumference (or perimeter of the circle) is studied along with the circle's area. Common three - dimensional shapes such as the cube, the prism, the cylinder, the pyramid and the cone are examined.
