Supplemental Lessons and other resources

 

Video Topics

Below are a series of short videos where I practice working through these problems myself and talking as I go along.

Basic Addition (done by hand!)

This is my first lesson where I am just trying to get used to using my new drawing tablet. The cursor is difficult to see in this one so I apologize for that.

Reading a Tape Measure

This section is broken down into two parts. part 1 is where I read a location and label where it is on the tape measure and Part 2 gives locations with arrows and I go through and write the precise location of each one. See if you can catch my mistake!

Converting Lengths and Distances

This topic is my first attempt at explaining the different metric measurements and how to convert from a length written in terms of one unit to expressing that same distance in another. The first part covers just the basics before getting into examples in Part 2

Mortar Mixing

This lesson was a bit of a disaster but I still recorded it to get reps in. I broke it into two parts where I start figuring it out on the fly (without any reference material) but then I looked at the way Scott teaches it (which is way faster) and I go back and show how that method works, arriving at the same final answer.
