Math Vids Free math videos

Mathvids.com provides free math videos for all levels of math from Middle school math through Discrete math. If your student is having trouble learning a concept from their math book, you can help them find the corresponding Mathvid video help them understand better.

You can also use the video as your own online textbook, following the videos and exercises in order. You would need to purchase a workbook or find worksheets to go with it though.

There are ads on these videos, but you can pay a reasonable subscription fee for an ad-less version. I don't mind looking at ipad commercials though. The paid subscription includes the ability to download videos for later use and the ability to make the videos full screen.

Basic math
Pre-Algebra
Algebra
Geometry
Advanced Algebra (II)
Trig/Precalc
Statistics
Calculus (1,2,3)

Khan Academy UPDATE

I recently gave information about Khan Academy, but now that I have looked at it further, I have to comment again... IT IS THAT GOOD!

Khan Academy delivers math and finance tutorials through Youtube videos. It is well detailed and my kids say it is very easy to follow. In addition to that, they have a free, adaptive math program available here. I can't believe this is free. I spent 2 hours on the site today, just testing myself and could not stop. The site finds your level and fills your learning gaps. Plus it progresses you through math seamlessly.

I plan to use this program this year AND make a few donations!

Another update 9/24/09

My kids have been using and enjoying this program for 3 months. Because of the way the program moves students can fly through concepts too quickly. This means they may be able to finish a unit but have not spent enough time in it to rememeber the concepts long term.

My suggestion is that you purchase a workbooks... basic math, pre algebra, algebra 2, geometry to go along with the lessons so give them extra practice and to test for long term retention. (You can also print worksheets from free worksheet websites)

Otherwise this program is excellent especially for test prep and relearning concepts.
