Script This is Steven Levy and this is Steven Levy Math. (Title Page) This video compares meat consumption and mortality in Japan and the USA. Japan and the United State have similar income levels. (Bar Graph). Page 9 in Livestock's Long Shadow 2006, shows per capita income in Japan and the USA as $27,000 and $36,000 per year respectively. These are figures for 2002. Yet meat consumption in the United States is almost three times that of Japan. (Bar Graph) 42 vs. 125 kg per year.

This math lesson will look at an example problem on logs to explain how to rewrite a logarithmic expression as one logarithm by condensing.

Painless Word Problems. How to solve word problems without pain. Problem Solving Three Problems with Math: (1) answering the wrong question (2) Mistakes in computation (3) Learning the wrong methods Students have one to two minutes to solve problems. Most math courses have about 15 types of problems. Here's my advice: (1) Read "Problem Solving Strategies" by Herr and Johnson. (2) Thoroughly learn each type of problem and all its variations. Have at least two ways to solve each problem. learn how to estimate the answer. During the test: (1) Read each problem at least three times. More if you are an ESL student. (2) Classify the problem by the types you have learned. (3) Make a guess. (4) Make an estimate. (5) Solve the problem (6) Does the answer agree with your guess and estimate? If not fix. Memorizing procedures sometimes called "steps" is a loosing battle. The older we get the harder it is to memorize unrelated facts. Younger students might be able to do it, but High School and Adult learners could have problems with memorizing.

This math lesson will look at an example problem on functions to explain how to determine if a function is a polynomial or not.
