For my resource blog for October 6th, I came across a website called mathtv.com. This website was described as the “Netflix of online learning”. Math TV is home to 10 thousand free math videos covering topics such as algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and calculus. However, their “Basic Math” topic will be most relevant for middle school students. They have 34 amazing math tutors that make their videos. The reason the website uses so many tutors is because they use all of the varied approaches to the same math topics and problems help students see how to solve problems differently. The website can also be used on all mobile devices so students can watch them on the go or teachers can incorporate them into daily mathematics instruction. I think it is self-descriptive as to why this resource can be so valuable. One of the many things that I enjoyed about this website is their variety of videos and tutors. I think a lot of the times we get caught up teaching one way to do things (often our own way) and we do not allow our students to think of different ways to solve a problem, even though it might be easier for them that way. Overall, I think this website will provide a useful tool for teachers that allows them to show different ideas on different problem-solving techniques.
