Wonderful Program!
This is exactly what I needed to aid in my endeavor to teach my children Algebra. We homeschool and this pod cast makes things more understandable and rational...gives things meaning rather than just learning something that seems to have no value to it...thanks so much for taking the time to do this and making it FREE besides!! You are a blessing to many :-)
Fantastic!!
These podcasts are great to use in the classroom. I teach math levels in Georgia ranging from 7th to 9th grade and these have been very useful. The students like them and they are a nice break from the ordinary! I hope there are more to come!
The Math Dude
GREAT stuff! This is one of my kid's activities for the summer.
Thanks Math Dude!
