- Synopsis:
"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 received the Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics 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. This program provides an overview of measurement. The importance of standardizing measurement units is discussed from a historical perspective. The metric system is discussed at length. Measurements of distance, mass and capacity are discussed. The consistent use of prefixes such as milli-, centi- and kilo- are investigated. Measurement of area, volume and temperature are presented. Special measurements such as the light year and the acre are discussed. Finally, measurements of rates such as miles per hour, points per game and beats per minute are discussed.
