Nice. Though there is a cool way to search for free math video lessons on google. Just search "topicname tenmarks". First result will get u there.Hope its useful.

I like that! It is an extension of a visual clue I had students come up with many years ago.

Draw a cursive lower case y on a piece of paper; turn it upside down. The y becomes an h.

A visual clue to remember y = # is a horizontal line.

Ooh, I hadn't heard of that y-h connection. It's almost like that math/artist that writes things so they read right-side-up and upside down.

Thanks,

Ms. Cookie
