If you want to find my videos as topics in a playlist on Rumble, you can type in eg: RobertPrestwidge Equation RobertPrestwidge Trigonometry RobertPrestwidge Fraction Also Logs, Parabola, Quadratic, Index Laws, Exponents, Calculus, Surd, Order of Operations, Simultaneous Equations, Negatives, Trinomials, Factorising and many other Math topics. You can also find me on Youtube where my videos are organised into Playlists ie Topics. This is one of my first videos. Please excuse that I was such a novice at this process and the technology involved. I have spent most of the last 40 years helping people with fractions, even with capable year 12 students. These are very short basic videos. I'd expect that many year 5 or 6 students will find them helpful. These are only about multiplication to start with. I by far prefer to teach multiplication first, then later on do addition and subtraction. After 40 years of enjoyable and rewarding teaching, I still love and continue to teach. It still amazes me how I continue to still think of better ways of teaching mathematical concepts and I also continue to discover methods of explaining things that help students 'better' understand and become more successful at remembering the concepts. A word of warning from what I have repeatedly seen over the years - most of my videos are placed in a logical or reasonably sequential order and if you watch the first or second video in a playlist and feel comfortable with the concepts, please go to the last video in the playlist to check if you really are okay. Each video in a playlist usually becomes progressively more complex and the 'latter' or 'last' video will often contain common assessment questions where students are known to make errors. I also often include some revision / consolidation / mixture videos in the playlist which I know are crucial to assist with student success in assessments. I hope that you find this very helpful and a blessing in your studies.

Very close to our home is this park 'well within' the wider city of Perth Western Australia where there are thousands of kangaroos. If you go for a walk around one of the many walk trails, you will see many kangaroos in the natural and some are not particularly worried about humans, though not domesticated at all. They basically ignore people. Depending on the time of the year, there can be young kangaroos everywhere as they are prolific breeders, depending on the amount of feed available. Whiteman Park is about 4,000 hectares (10,000 acres) and about an easy 25 minute drive from the heart of the city. Any taxi driver would bring you here. It also has museums, children's very good play areas, train rides, BBQs, sheltered tables, a shallow play pool and water fountains for young children and lots of shade. It is one of the best places to see kangaroos up and personal. There is also the wonderful Caversham Wildlife Park within the boundaries of the park, which is well worth the cost of a visit.

This is invaluable revision and confidence building for 11 Methods / NSW Advanced. After 40 years of enjoyable and rewarding teaching, I still love and continue to teach.

This video gives one more example where things are slightly different. This is useful for year 11 Maths Methods and NSW Maths Advanced.

This is Lake Batur with a beautiful view of Mt Batur. This boat trip goes to the oldest village in Bali which is the famous village where they 'bury' their bodies in bamboo frames. An amazing day out. The hot springs nearby are terrific. The trip to the top of Mt Batur is awesome. Locals will take you up there on motorbikes - a thrilling ride with amazing riders.

So many people struggle with Logarithms (Logs). This shows some simple ways of thinking that I use to help people understand and use logs.

This is in my first series of my videos. Please excuse that I was such a novice at this process and the technology involved. So many people struggle with Logarithms (Logs).

By the way, if you view any of my videos on Rumble, all or at least most of my videos on that topic come up. This is where it is so important that I have my videos organised in 'Sets' and 'Numerical Order' so that you can see what comes next. On Youtube I am Robert Prestwidge with the space, but I have a playlist for each topic eg Calculus, Trigonometry, Fractions, Equations etc as well as 'Sections' for each Year/Grade/Course but Rumble will not allow me to do this, although, it's automatic playlist is quite impressive.

This video was one of my early attempts to create one of these videos with my wonderful friend Cooper who inspired me to start. So many people struggle with Logarithms (Logs).

I created this video very early on when I was so inexperienced at creating videos. Please excuse that I was such a novice at this process and the technology involved. So many people struggle with Logarithms (Logs). This shows some simple ways of thinking that I use to help people understand and use logs. Students in my classes helped me develop what I call 'The POTI Rule', which significantly helped students to perform better in this topic.

This is a short video with 2 examples. No massive explanation to keep it brief. This is the next logical progression on quadratics. They look like they are harder, but they ‘trick’ some people into thinking they can’t do them. This is useful to the Australian years 10-12 'academic/examinable' courses. It is mostly about factorising trinomials of the most basic and simplest forms. After 40 years of enjoyable and rewarding teaching, I still love and continue to teach.

I made this video early on when I was very new to producing vidoes. Please excuse that I was such a novice at this process and the technology involved. These are short videos that usually deal with focusing on only one or two concepts. Sometimes there are many ways to explain concepts. These are mostly one method that I have found to be very useful over many decades, especially when I compare it to other explanations that I have used.

This is the 5th video dealing with another mixture of 'Directed Numbers'. Over my years of teaching I spend much time building student confidence with ‘negative numbers’, because so many people struggle with the concepts. I have continued to think 'How can I make this easier for students?'. These videos start very simple and progressively work through the basics and I keep reminding myself not to go too difficult too quickly. By the way, many older students and adults still struggle with these concepts. I would love to hear from adults who were helped while watching these videos with their child. Maths is so easily 'lost' from the brain without use. I recommend that students watch one of these short videos per day to give themselves time to consolidate the ideas. To start with, I take a slightly different approach, which I have especially found helpful for weaker students. I used to teach these concepts as ‘4 rules’, but for years, I have taught them as ‘1 rule’, and the difference in student response is massive. I also build repetition into the videos. From my experience, the biggest secret is to watch each video 3 times across a week or more (which very few people do with anything, not just Maths). I have tried to make this easier by keeping these videos quite brief. After 40 years of enjoyable and rewarding teaching, I still love and continue to teach. It still amazes me how I continue to still think of better ways of teaching mathematical concepts and I also continue to discover methods of explaining things that help students 'better' understand and become more successful at remembering the concepts.

This video demonstrates what I commonly do in class - a revision mixture at the start of every lesson. This goes through a mixture of the first 3 videos to help make sure that your understanding is good. I know it is very important to give students an opportunity to consolidate and make sure that you don’t get things ‘mixed up’. I give students verbal pictures and simple explanations that help students to understand and remember the concepts, as well as warn them about the common errors and misunderstandings. This is the fourth of many short videos in this playlist. If it is too simple, jump ahead to videos 5, 6 or 7 etc. This is one of the revision videos included in this playlist to help you understand better and not get confused into making simple errors. After 40 years of enjoyable and rewarding teaching, I still love and continue to teach.
