Greetings Noble Students: You will find that really exemplary education involves exposing learners to varied resources and perspectives on how to understand.
If you look at the websites for learning from MIT and other great schools, you will see that the "Great Professors" of the 21st century do not believe that their way is the only way to know. They make many resources available to their students--and do so in ways that reflect many learning styles. They collect, connect and synthesize these varied resources in one place to help you learn more efficiently.
I hope that visual and auditory learners will use these videos to get the core of the PROCESSES for how to do Algebra 2 well.
For Pre-AP, the "answer" is not "A,B,C, or D", it is understanding the PROCESSES used for mastery!
