There are many ways of solving an equation. Click the image below to take you to the site which shows two methods of solving equation. A third method which is more intuitive and does not make use of the properties of equality is described in this link. h Algebra Video

If you dozed off when your teacher explained how to solve triangles using sin. cos, tan, this video is a good substitute.

In the video below, Tom Lehrer 'explains' and 'criticizes' the New Math curriculum in a funny way. What is the New Math Curriculum? New Mathematics or New Math was a brief, dramatic change in the way mathematics was taught in American grade schools, and to a lesser extent in European countries, during the 1960s. The name is commonly given to a set of teaching practices introduced in the U.S.
