Beginning Algebra

This is a video showing students how to use the most basic functions of the TI-83/84 Graphing Calculator. The calculator in this video is the FREE Wabbitemu TI-84 emulator; there is a link to download the Wabbitemu on our Blackboard page.

What is a linear equation? What is a solution of a linear equation? How do you know when a point is on a line? This video will, hopefully, answer those questions.

This video will show students how to solve and graph inequalities AND enter answers into MyMathLab.

With a little practice, graphing points on Pearson's MyMathLab program is the easiest thing you'll ever do.

In this video, students learn about set-builder notation and how it relates to interval notation and graphs of inequalities.

This part of the class orientation takes students on a tour through My Math Lab. Your attendance and grade will be largely determined by your work in MyMathLab.

This video will explain the general set-up of your classes, and discuss important changes in the rules governing government financial aid.

This is video #1 of a 3-video set designed to orient you to our computer-aided class. This video will show you how to register in MyMathLab, which is probably the most important act you need to perform this semester.

This is an introduction for prealgebra and beginning algebra students to the translation method of solving word problems (also known as application problems). In this video which covers the word problem homework from Module 2 in Beginning Algebra at Northwest Arkansas Community College, I discuss a proportion problem and several percent problems.

This is an introduction for prealgebra and beginning algebra students to the translation method of solving word problems (also known as application problems). The problems come from Rademacher's Module 2 Beginning Algebra (Algebra 1) homework on Pearson's My Math Lab internet learning system.

This video is a very short and light hearted overview of the supplies that are essential to passing this class: 1) a positive attitude, 2) an access code to My Math Lab (this includes the online textbook), 3) a TI-83 series graphing calculator, 4) a home internet connection with computer, 5) notebook and graph paper, 6)something to write with. All the class videos are also available on Youtube. If you are auditing the class, you can substitute Interactmath.com (free-of-charge) for My Math Lab. The word "auditing" means you are taking the class on your own, not through a school.

Read this document thoroughly. It contains ALL the information you need to pass this class. The syllabus is like a contract; if you stay in this class (rather than change to another), that means you have accepted all the stipulations described in this syllabus.

Intercepts are little points that have a very big effect on economics and medicine. This video will help you understand and use intercepts.

This is an introduction for prealgebra and beginning algebra students to the translation method of solving word problems (also known as application problems). The problems come from Rademacher's Module 2 Beginning Algebra (Algebra 1) homework on Pearson's My Math Lab internet learning system. In this video, I discuss word problems (applications) involving the area of a triangle, supplementary angles, complementary angles, and vertical angles.

Eric Heckathorne shares his method for becoming a very success student veteran at Northwest Arkansas Community College. This video was originally uploaded on Nov. 15, 2011. I just used Camtasia Suite to improve the sound quality and to add explanatory text.

This is an introduction for prealgebra and beginning algebra students to the translation method of solving word problems (also known as application problems). The problems come from Rademacher's Module 2 Beginning Algebra (Algebra 1) homework on Pearson's My Math Lab internet learning system. In this video, I solve and explain basic word problems based in geometry.

This is an introduction for prealgebra and beginning algebra students to the translation method of solving word problems (also known as application problems). The problems come from Rademacher's Module 2 Beginning Algebra (Algebra 1) homework on Pearson's My Math Lab internet learning system. In this video, I solve and explain word problems involving the number of Democrats and Republicans in the U. S. Senate and the amount of inert and active ingredients in insecticide. These videos are also applicable to people using Pearson's FREE product at Interactmath.com .

The problems come from Rademacher's Module 2 Beginning Algebra (Algebra 1) homework on Pearson's My Math Lab internet learning system. In this video, I discuss word problems (applications) involving the perimeter of a rectangle and the area of a circle.

This is the first video in a set of three that will explain to entering Beginning Algebra freshmen how to solve equations AND how to use MyMathLab and the TI-84 Plus graphing calculator.

This is the third video in a set of three that will explain to entering Beginning Algebra freshmen how to solve equations AND how to use MyMathLab and the TI-84 Plus graphing calculator.

This is the first video in a set of two that will explain to entering Beginning Algebra freshmen how to solve equations AND how to use MyMathLab and the TI-84 Plus graphing calculator. This video was created using Ziggy Document Camera, Camtasia Studio, and a Gamecom 780 headset.

In this little musical word problem, it is assumed that 1000 boys and girls are participating in a Special Olympics event. Based on the data given, the problem asks students to find the number of boys and number of girls competed.
