A random collection of mathematical resources that I’ve found useful over recent times. The production values vary wildly, but bite on a stick and keep watching, what connects everything is the clear communication of interesting things.


IXL Algebra 1 CC.7 Exponential functions over unit intervals


Radical Expressions and Absolute Value


A visual proof for the difference of squares


Why does factoring by grouping work?


These MyWhyU videos are excellent…

Algebra 1 - Defining Sets


Bridging the cap between algebra and geometry…

Cartesian Products, Ordered Pairs and Triples


A great description of what trig reference angles are…

Reference angles


So that’s what sine and cosine are…

Eddie Woo talks unit circles


This is neat, even point distributions on a sphere…

Fibonacci lattices


My favourite run down of the six trig functions…

All Trig Functions on the Unit Circle


Eddie Woo does it again, nice run down of why the sine rule works. Interesting geometric constructions used to prove a point…

The Sine Rule


Similarly…

Angles in the same segment


Lovely proofs of the cosine rule…

Visual cosine rule #1

Visual cosine rule #2
