| Addition & Subtraction | |
| I describe how to add and subtract positive and negative numbers (no fractions or decimals). The key is learning to read the shorthand of math so you never have to ask: Is that a minus or a negative? Do I add or subtract? What's the sign of the answer? |
The hyperlinks (blue text) below link to problems for practice with the concepts covered in the video. Directions on the worksheets indicate a strategy for using them. The strategy is intended to help you reinforce and retain the concepts. I suggest NOT doing all of the problems in one sitting: you need breaks of increasing duration to move the concepts from your short term memory to your long-term memory. |

| Exponents & Powers of 10 | |
| This is an introduction to the meaning of exponents, and how to simplify or evaluate numbers with exponents. Also, I cover powers of ten and I introduce the zero exponent. Lastly, I briefly mention why zero exponent values always go to 1. | You may want to print the Sheets Used in Video to take notes while watching the video. The Exponents & Powers of 10 worksheet has three columns of similar problems for practice. You should work one column, check and understand any mistakes, and then pause some minutes or hours before attempting the next column. Such breaks help to move knowledge from your short-term memory to your long-term memory. |

| Square Roots & Cube Roots | |
| I cover several examples of finding square roots and combining numbers under the "radical symbol" prior to finding the root. I cover a few examples of these concepts with cube roots as well. I finish with some cases of dealing with negative signs in front of the radical and under the radical. | The "Square Roots & Cube Roots" hyperlink listed below opens an additional worksheet for practice.

| Order of Operations | |
| I describe the order of operations and then demonstrate how to use it in six examples. (I do 6 of the 12 problems on the sheet "Order of Operations #1 (Sheet Used in Video)." The complexity ranges from addition and multiplication to parentheses, nested parentheses, exponents, and radical signs. | In the video, I do 6 of the 12 problems on sheet #1.

| Prime Numbers & Prime Factorization Multiples, Factors, & Factor Pairs | |
| My intention is for the concepts in these next two videos to be learned in succession; the second video assumes familiarity with concepts in the first video. | |
| I describe the meaning of prime numbers and how to find the prime factorization of numbers that are not prime. (Numbers that are not prime are called "composite." Except zero and one, which are neither.) | The "Prime Numbers & Prime Factorization" hyperlink below links to an additional worksheet for practice. |
