I have recently discovered this wonderful resource of the Kahn Academy. If you’ve been into see me in that last few weeks you have probably heard me ranting about it already but i’m going to rant some more on here anyway!
Salman Kahn started out by making a few algebra videos for his cousins and now has this amazing and free (which is always music to ones ears!) resource of over 2500 videos, practice examples and assesments covering many diciplines from Pure Maths and Physics to Finance, Health Care, Chemistry…you name it!
In each nicely presented 10 minute video he manages to clearly explained each concept. The tutorials are very easy to access straight form home page. You can even log in to keep track of what tutorials you’ve watched and gain points and badges for doing so. Below is an example video for you, all about Standard Deviation, a concept that I get asked about quite a lot!
There’s some great open source apps which I used for videos myself. If you ever want any help with that, don’t hesitate to ask me!
Thank you! If i do make any i’ll contact you. Cheers!
Hey Laura.
Have you thought about making your own maths videos? I’m sure you could put something really good together with minimal effort in a simple video maker app.
I hadn’t thought about it, but i guess i could! Khan covers so much though and i really like his blackboard style videos. Maybe that’s something for me to think about!
Thanks for the comment Karl
