Math Negatives 08 With Indices or Exponents also called Directed Numbers Mostly for Years/Grade 7 and 8

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.Show more

You can also find me on Youtube where my videos are organised into Playlists ie Topics.

I created 3 more videos for 'harder' questions and concepts involving Negative Numbers for my year 8 Maths class when I looked at what was in the textbook. It goes 'crazy'.

By the way, I do make up what I call 'crazies' in class in response to my students who want more of an academic (but irrelevant to real life) challenge.

Most students do not need to be able to go all that far on this topic, even at University.

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.
