These short clips are the same videos many CMP3 teachers use to review key math concepts when they prepare to teach CMP3 lessons. Use these helpful videos to bolster your math knowledge as you help your student with homework. The video clips highlight important mathematical ideas and concepts in each CMP3 Unit in an easy-to-understand, visual way.
The correlation coefficient is a number between 1 and –1 that tells how closely a pattern of data points fits a straight line. This video shows the correlation coefficient of various sets of data points.
The Grade 6 Unit Prime Time covered the relationship between factor pairs of a number and rectangles with area equal to the number. By superimposing the factor-pair rectangles for a number on top of each other, students can see the symmetry of the factor pairs. This video shows the inverse variation relationship that results when you graph those factor pairs as coordinates.
Inverse variation refers to a nonlinear relationship in which the product of two variables is constant. In the context of these rectangles, the two variables are length (I) and width (w). Their area, or the product of the variables l and w, is constant.
An inverse variation can be represented by an equation of the form y = k/x, or xy = k, where k is a constant. In an inverse variation, the values of one variable decrease as the values of the other variable increase.
