I would love to use these and other clips in my high school math class. I was wondering if there was any way i could get a copy of them?
They really do brighten up the class, and they would hook the students into the lesson.
Any help you could give me getting these clips I would really appreciate.

Mark,
Glad that you like our YouTube clips. The best way to use our songs and lessons in class is through learningupgrade.com. You can sign up as a teacher for a free trial, than add yourself and your students as trials. You can then purchase the full courses through your school. Then you can access any of the 60 lessons, including many videos not on YouTube, and show them to your class. Let us know how your students respond!

Thank you for having this program. 15 years ago I was in a bad car accident that left me with a closed head injury. Through counseling and help from my mom, I reached the place where I wanted to go back to college. Due to the head injury, I had forgotten or lost the biggest majority of what I learned in K-12 for math. Now that I’m working with a Vocational Rehabilitation to go back to school, my psychologist was recommended this site and the Voc Rehab paid for the program.
I want to make a difference in this world instead of being different and this Math program is making all of the things I thought I lost, come back. I had problems with prime numbers, took a days rest and tried again and got it!!
All the programs should be offered to students whether they are behind, stuggling or just need refreshers. I wasn’t an A or B student and I wasn’t brave enough to ask for help and my parents were having problems, so I did what I could and passed. So to have this offered to me at this stage in my life, means the absolute world to me. I am more confident and I’m not afraid to say “I don’t understand.” I wish more teachers could see when a student isn’t all in there and needs help.
Thank you for having this and showing this part on YouTube so other kids can hopefully get help.
