Modeled for You

65 episodes

Modeled for You is a general-education channel of clean animated slideshow lessons for upper-elementary and middle-grade classrooms, spanning math, reading, writing, grammar, science, and one health title. Each short video teaches a single specific skill straight to students, from times tables, area and perimeter, GCF and LCM, and solving equations to theme, point of view, inference, author's purpose, and the writing craft of introductions, dialogue, and revision. The videos speak plainly to the learner and pair well with independent practice or a quick whole-class review. Teachers can reach for one title to introduce, reteach, or reinforce a standard-aligned skill in a few focused minutes.

6.NS.B.4Find the greatest common factor of two whole numbers ≤ 100 and the least common multiple of two whole numbers ≤ 12; use the distributive property to express a sum.
3.MD.D.8Solve real-world and mathematical problems involving perimeters of polygons, including finding an unknown side length.
5.OA.A.1Use parentheses, brackets, or braces in numerical expressions, and evaluate expressions with these symbols.
6.EE.B.7Solve real-world and mathematical problems by writing and solving equations of the form x + p = q and px = q for cases in which p, q, and x are all nonnegative rational numbers.
3.MD.C.7Relate area to the operations of multiplication and addition.
3.NBT.A.1Use place value understanding to round whole numbers to the nearest 10 or 100.

5.NF.B.7Apply and extend previous understandings of division to divide unit fractions by whole numbers and whole numbers by unit fractions.
6.NS.C.6Understand a rational number as a point on the number line; extend number line diagrams and coordinate axes to represent points with negative number coordinates.
3.OA.C.7Fluently multiply and divide within 100. By the end of Grade 3, know from memory all products of two one-digit numbers.
4.NBT.A.3Use place value understanding to round multi-digit whole numbers to any place.
4.NBT.B.5Multiply a whole number of up to four digits by a one-digit whole number, and multiply two two-digit numbers, using strategies based on place value.
4.OA.B.4Find all factor pairs for a whole number in the range 1–100; recognize that a whole number is a multiple of each of its factors; determine whether a number is prime or composite.
5.NBT.B.5Fluently multiply multi-digit whole numbers using the standard algorithm.
6.G.A.1Find the area of right triangles, other triangles, special quadrilaterals, and polygons by composing into rectangles or decomposing into triangles.
6.NS.B.2Fluently divide multi-digit numbers using the standard algorithm.
6.NS.C.7Understand ordering and absolute value of rational numbers.
6.RP.A.1Understand the concept of a ratio and use ratio language to describe a ratio relationship between two quantities.
6.RP.A.2Understand the concept of a unit rate a/b associated with a ratio a:b with b ≠ 0, and use rate language in the context of a ratio relationship.
6.RP.A.3Use ratio and rate reasoning to solve real-world and mathematical problems, e.g., by reasoning about tables of equivalent ratios, tape diagrams, double number lines, or equations.
