Maths Teaching 
I teach math to high school and decided to start making videos that are exiting and show kids how to solve math problems in a very easy way. I made one explaining how to solve very simple linear equations on my blog….

It’s colorful and [I think] funny in parts. It’s beena while since I’ve had to teach simple linear equations, so it was fun to go back to the basics and really put myself in a kid’s shoes who has never seen this stuff before.
I hope you check it out! I’d love your feedback!
