Brightstorm - Math Video: Why UDL?

Brightstorm - Math Video:  Why UDL? | Math, Technology and UDL:  Closing the Achievement Gap | Scoop.it

Brightstorm has over 2,500 free math videos from Pre-Algebra through Calculus that offer actual teachers explaining and demonstrating math concepts.  What is unique about Brightstorm is that with each concept, a set of 2-3 problems that demonstrates the concept is included.

 

Why UDL?  This type of online tool offers multiple means of representation and engagement of math concepts that students often miss.  Having the problems explained furthers the understanding for many students who need to see and hear several examples.

Math Videos on Math Playground - Why UDL? | Math, Technology and UDL:  Closing the Achievement Gap | Scoop.it

Math videos on Math Playground can be used to provide "multiple means of representation and engagement" for students who need another way to understand math concepts and processes.  I know from teacher and student testimonials how effective they have been in improving math understanding. If you have a website or LMS, link to these math videos that support all students in and out of school. Oh yes, this site has math games that kid's love.
