Editorial Reviews

Robert Curtis, San Joaquin Delta College, Stockton, California

"I searched for over a year, and settled on the Elayn Gay Video Series from Educational Video Resources. I think these are the best tapes on the market. I believe the reason why these are so popular is that they are direct and to the point, they show the students how to do problems just like the ones from their homework. Elayn has a real camera presence as well, and has a very non-threatening style."

Product Description

This Algebra 1 video tutor series was made to give students clear, concise explanations of topics in a manner that the student may enjoy while acquiring the skills necessary to be successful in current and future mathematical courses. Throughout each tape segment, pertinent definitions, theorems, and steps are shown and clearly explained. To reinforce these mathematical ideas, they are continually referenced and reviewed as examples are worked. Careful attention has been given to the NCTM Standards.

An ample number and variety of examples are solved on each tape segment by the lecturer. Each example solved is thoroughly explained step by step for the student. The examples on a single tape are graded in difficulty. Students are first exposed to examples that increase their confidence and problem-solving skills; then they are eased gradually through more difficult problems.

Algebra I consists of 89 video segments. Each segment is approximately 15 minutes in length. Topics include algebraic expressions, exponents, real numbers, solving equations and inequalities and applications, polynomials, factoring, rational expressions, graphing linear equations and inequalities in two variables, relations and functions, solving systems of linear equations, radicals, and solving quadratic equations.
