I am teaching maths for the first time and was hunting for a way to explain the theory behind the maths in a hands on, real life, relevant way. I stumbled upon these videos that explain to teachers the steps to learn maths concepts one part at a time. I found through watching these videos that even I was taught to know the written equation without fully understanding what the equation represented.
