    A beautifully designed site presenting videos, animations and graphics designed to give students an understanding of the underlying concepts on which the rules of mathematics are based. The videos are aimed at K12 (the US equivalent of A Level) and undergraduate maths students and consists of four sections: Pre-Algebra, Algebra, Topology and Infinite Series. Each section contains a number of videos: for example, the Pre-Algebra page presents thirty animations, each about ten minutes long, beginning with The Dawn of Numbers and taking in Factoring, Exponentiation, Irrational Numbers and Real Numbers, amongst others, along the way. The aim is to provide conceptual understanding, rather than help with specific problem solving, so this would be a good resource to use in conjunction with other teaching materials.

    Video Sources, Web Links

    This website delivers thousands of free academic and educational multimedia content, including videos, animations and simulations. The site’s strengths are in Mathematics and the Sciences, but also cover History, Economics, English and Religion. The videos on the site are aggregated from other American educational collections (including the Khan Academy) and arranged by broad subject areas which are then subdivided into narrower concepts, and laid out on the page in a logical and easy to follow screen display. It is slightly frustrating that there is little contextual information associated with the videos, in the form of descriptions, contributors, and other useful metadata. It is also not possible to click through to view the video on its original home page. Nonetheless, worth visiting for the range and quality of material available.
