Math Antics

77 episodes

Animated math instruction that stays on one topic and works it all the way through with examples on screen. The library covers most of the elementary arc: area and basic division for grades 3 and 4, naming angles and measuring them with a protractor, classifying triangles by sides and angles, common denominators both the easy way and the least way, adding and subtracting fractions, mixed numbers, then grade 6 material like absolute value, inequalities, and basic probability. Runtimes sit between four and thirteen minutes. Nothing is rushed and everything pauses cleanly, so it is easy to stop mid-problem and let the class try it.
