Song Lyrics:

Let’s sing about three-dimensional shapes.
No two look the same.
We see these six shapes everywhere.
Let’s learn them all by name.

Let’s start with spheres,
like the Earth and the moon
And the sun in our sky of blue.
Balls are spheres that are lots of fun—
Oranges and marbles are, too.

There are six sides on each cube you find,
And each side is a square.
Sugar and blocks can be shaped like cubes,
Like the ice cubes in your glass... there!
Let’s sing about three-dimensional shapes.
No two look the same.
We see these six shapes everywhere.
Let’s learn them all by name.

Rectangular prisms have six sides.
I can think of quite a few,
Like a shoe box, a train car,
a long stick of butter,
A brick, and a suitcase, too.
With a circle on the bottom
and a point at the top,
A cone is a shape you’ll see.
Party hats and teepees are shaped like cones,
And so is a green pine tree!

Let’s sing about three-dimensional shapes.
No two look the same.
We see these six shapes everywhere.
Let’s learn them all by name.

Cylinders have circles at each end,
Like a soup can or paper towel roll.
Drinking straws and glasses have cylinder shapes,
And so does our school flagpole
What shape has three or more triangular sides
And a point at the top? Can you guess?
The base can be a square, or a different shape.
Say, “A pyramid” and I’ll say, “Yes!”
Let’s sing about three-dimensional shapes.
No two look the same.
We see these six shapes everywhere.
Now you know them all by name!

ASL All about South America for Kids Teacherflix 4 Views • 2 years ago

NOTE: The Aconcagua peak is the highest in the Southern and Western Hemispheres. We apologize for the error in the video and thank our wonderful viewers for their attention to detail!

What do you know about the continent of South America and its countries? In All about South America for Kids, you will learn facts about the geography, people, and history of the fifth largest continent in the world. You might already know some things about it, but let's see what else you can learn!

Speaking of geography, South America touches three of the five oceans: Pacific, Atlantic, and Antarctic (Southern). And only two of its countries are landlocked, meaning that they don't touch an ocean. The largest country is Brazil, which is home to the most populous city on the continent, Sao Paolo, which has almost 15 million people! The total population of Brazil overall is over 200 million, about half the number of people living on the entire continent.

One of the most famous landmarks in South America is Machu Picchu, an ancient landmark meaning old mountain that was discovered in 1911. Even though the Spanish captured much of the Incan civilization that lived along the Andes Mountains, they did not find Machu Picchu. This ancient city is one of the seven new wonders of the world.

South America boasts several other famous attractions, such as the Christ the Redeemer statue, a 125-foot-tall statue overlooking the city of Rio de Janeiro. It is also one of the seven new wonders of the world. Another cool place is in Bolivia: Salar de Uyuni is the world's largest salt flat, spanning over 4,000 square miles! Lots of pink flamingos live on this prehistoric dry lake.

We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about this cool continent! If you want even more information, head over to our website and download one of our many free lesson plans, full of activities, worksheets, and more!

Unsolved Mathematical Problems for K-12 Teacherflix 10 Views • 2 years ago

The above are candidate problems. Teachers and mathematicians are gathering in November 2013 to select the final set of thirteen unsolved problems. The results are here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wV5-wMGRM3g&feature=share&list=PLSrbLTVLJpchKVD0uUOEa2S-eSK9a3Kxp

When: November 15-17 2013
Where: Banff International Research Station

The conference will also discuss whether the $1,000,000 rewards are a good or bad idea. People have strong opinions on the topic. Some see no other practical way of getting these beautiful problems the exposure they need to inspire students worldwide. However, there are problems:

1) The joy of learning for its own sake may be compromised if the ulterior motive of a cash reward gets into the classroom.

2) The Clay Mathematics Institute released the seven $1,000,000 Millenium problems in 2000. Their purpose is to inspire mathematicians and the problems are tough to understand for non-mathematicians. Here is the problem... Nick Woodhouse says that the Clay Mathematics Institute gets about six wrong solutions every day! We need a different mechanism for dealing with "solutions" so we are not inundated.

3) The system that is set up must also try to minimize legal challenges. Again, the Clay Mathematics Institute has had its fair share of bad experiences here.

______________________________________

For those coming to the November 2013 conference... If you are able, think of some unsolved problems that may be understood by a typical classroom of students. The educators at the conference will help place these into the curriculum and develop them so every child experiences both moments of success and moments of struggle. We need to deliver a sense of accomplishment for all children as they come to understand and work on the unsolved problem.

For example, one potential grade 4 problem is the Collatz (3N+1) conjecture. This unsolved conjecture can be paired with the (3N-1) conjecture which is consistently solved by all grade 4 classrooms: http://youtu.be/R4oINmqHXVY

Here are other potential unsolved problems:

Kindergarten: Packing Squares (Erdős and Graham, 1975)
Grade 1: No-Thee-in-a-Line (Henry Dudeney, 1917)
Grade 2: Sum-Free Partitions (Issai Schur, 1916)
Grade 3: Graceful Tree Conjecture (Ringel, Kotzig & Rosa, 1967)
Grade 4: Collatz Conjecture (Lothar Collatz, 1937)
Grade 5: Play Perudo Perfectly (Atahualpa & Pizarro, 1530s)
Grade 6: RSA Cipher (Rivest, Shamir & Aldeman, 1978)
Grade 7: Egyptian Fraction problem ???
Grade 8: Problem using the Pythagorean Theorem ???
Grade 9: Exponents problem or Three-Body-Problem (D'Alembert & Clairaut, 1747) ???
Grade 10: Inscribed Square Jordan Curve (Otto Toeplitz 1911)
Grade 11: Solutions to x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = 3xyz (Markoff, 1879) ???
Grade 12: ??? (The Sudoku problem on the video above has been solved.)

Here is a tentative list of criteria that you might consider in thinking about suitable unsolved problems: http://www.mathpickle.com/K-12/Criteria.html

Rounding Numbers To The Nearest Ten Teacherflix 6 Views • 8 months ago

#rounding #mathhelp #homeschool #homeschooling #mathtips

This video walks you through how to round numbers to the nearest ten. First, identify what digit is in your tens spot. Next, evaluate the number in the ones spot which is to the right. If it is 5 or greater, you round the digit in the tens spot up. If it is 4 or lower, you round down (which is the same thing as it staying the same).

Improved math is a channel created to provide additional instruction on essential math concepts. I’m passionate about math and I know first-hand how important math concepts are in the real world.

Teachers, parents, guardians, homeschoolers, and students can use these videos to help reinforce math skills. These math videos are designed to help teach yourself math or provide self-study math tools to assist when additional instruction is needed. Teaching math and learning math has changed the way many students learn in this virtual environment. Having on-demand math videos can provide math tutoring needed when children are not able to get help from their teachers after school hours or when trying to do math at home.

The library of math tutorials that I create can also be used as supplemental instructional material for homeschool math. Each full-length video comes with a subsequent knowledge check or math practice problems which serve as a virtual math topic worksheet to test your understanding of each skill. These videos can be paused to work out the problems on your own, then unpaused to check your answers. All of these videos can be found under the Knowledge Check playlist.

I also have a library of shorter videos (less than 1 minute in length - shorts) that are quick math tips and tricks on basic math topics. Some of these short math help videos include problems that you can work on yourself and submit your answers in the comments. They are all listed under my Math Tips and Tricks playlist.

Improved math is creating more videos every day to cover topics from 4th grade, 5th grade, 6th grade, and 7th-grade math. The videos focus on fractions, basic math operations, geometry, and ratios but more topics are being added all the time. If there is a specific topic you would like to see covered, drop me a comment in one of my videos and let me know!

Free math help videos will be posted every Thursday and Friday. For additional math resources, check out my math help website at improvedmath.com where I post math worksheets and answers along with additional context on math basics.

Thanks for watching my channel.
