If you have a look online, you will find that there are many educational math videos immediately able to be viewed. This can assist with differentiation, understanding new concepts, and also for assessment. They are a very useful tool and most people would choose to access them online for convenience.

Some students can learn easily from teacher discussions and explanations, others are better when information is provided visually. Clips can be effectively used to show how to work something out. This is a key when it comes to developing new concepts, such as friends of ten or the split strategy.

Focusing on one particular aspect of a task, based around one mathematical concept can be achieved with a video clip. Teachers can get distracted with additional questions and ideas and without realizing, move further away from the specific task at hand. A video demonstration is also the perfect thing to show for a teacher that is having trouble explaining an aspect.

Children will approach, understand and provide an answer for a question in many different ways. A quality clip showing an assessment sequence can be beneficial for teachers in providing a deeper understanding of how a particular child sees things. It can also assist the teacher to deliver the assessment in the most effective manner for the student.

For the students who are at home and struggling to complete their homework, online maths videos can provide immediate instruction. The benefits of this are quite obvious, as getting stuck with a concept or set of questions when you are on your own, can be quite frustrating. Immediate instruction can help a child achieve success, increase motivation, and involve them in a process of self-learning.

Some students have a better grasp on maths than others and as such, they are at different levels or stages in their learning. A concept can also be provided in a number of levels of instruction to cater for a child who really needs differentiation. Tailoring learning to individual needs in this way is crucial to build up understanding and to achieve success. Differentiated learning is a great strategy and online learning provides this in both the home and school environment.

A good clear title based on the topic you are investigating, will lead to locating the specific information you need quite quickly and with ease. Once you have found what you are looking for, make sure the recording is of a professional standard and one with high quality sound and accurate camera angles that reveal the strategies clearly. Resources may be used in the demonstration, so make sure you can see them throughout the entire demo. You may find a small number of recordings on one site and many on another.

The value that educational math videos can add to a particular teaching program is quite substantial. Struggling students will benefit greatly through improved learning, increased engagement and self learning. Videos need to be informative as well as instructional, and they also have to be of good quality.
