Current Prices Professor Dana Mosely is your teacher in this series of ten video tapes covering a complete Algebra II course. The tapes vary in length since they are broken down into segments covering various topics, but there is a total of about 22 hours of video viewing. Mosely uses a chalkboard with occasional video animations to illustrate concepts or graphically explain an algebraic process. High production quality and skillful presentation combine to make a top notch video course. He keeps the presentation moving at just the right pace, although students can always rewind and review if they don't catch it first time around.
Students watch the presentation, then practice problem solving from the textbook.
This is a 1994 edition, written to conform to the new math standards. One of the most obvious influences of the math standards is that each chapter in the book and, consequently, each tape contain lessons on the use of scientific and graphing calculators. Video lessons actually show the calculator and its screen so that students can use their own calculators and follow along performing operations. Answers to odd-numbered problems are found at the back of the book. Midway through each chapter is a quiz to check on progress.
