Yay Math!

I just completed a review of YayMath.org for class. I have used this website to refer students for extra explanations and additional homework help. Many students have come back and told me it helped them to hear a second explanation of the material. They liked being able to pause the teacher to catch up on notes, rewind and listen to a section again, and fast-forward through sections they already understood. Students also like the craziness of the teacher.

As a teacher, I like this website for its simplicity and ease of use. Students can watch the videos using free utilities like yahoo and youtube. The videos were accurate and the information correct. I liked the worksheets that students can follow along with. This is a great reteaching tool for students. The teacher in the video is very energetic and entertaining to watch which helps hold students attention. I highly recommend this website as a resource and aid for students. It should not replace teaching, simply act as reinforcement or clarification. It is also useful for students who were absent in class and need additional explanation than the textbook can offer.
