Often times students are starting to understand a topic in class, but they could really benefit from seeing another example or two worked out. Luckily, there are a vast number of resources online just for this purpose:
- Khan Academy is a fantastic resource that offers video tutorials and examples for topics in most math courses offered at CCSF.
- MathTV is a fantastic resource that offers video examples in both English and Spanish. Their focus is on Algebra, but they also have some videos for Geometry, Trigonometry, and Calculus.
- YouTube has a surprisingly large amount of videos that go through examples of all sorts of math problems. For tips on how to search YouTube for math videos, click here.
- The CCSF Math Department has produced some videos covering arithmetic with integers, fractions, decimals, and percents that are useful for MATH 30 students and beginning MATH 40 students.
- I have personally produced a series of videos covering worked-out examples from topics in MATH 40, MATH 46, and MATH 60. I currently have approximately three hundred videos of example problems and am always creating more!
- Paul's Online Math Notes has fairly complete sets of notes for Calculus I, II, and III (MATH 110A, 110B, and 110C). The website contains notes, examples, and practice problems; however, it does not contain any videos or other multimedia.
Please be careful when searching for videos on the internet. It's possible that the videos you come across will cover problems that are more advanced than what you're doing in class, or they'll solve the problems differently than you're used to. If you're watching a video that seems very different from what you've seen in class, you might want to try another video.
