New videos available on MyMaths

The team at MyMaths are delighted to release the first in a planned series of video releases to the platform!

We regularly conduct surveys of teachers using MyMaths to ask what it is you’d like us to add to the site to improve the offering for students.

You’ve told us that you’d like to see more videos on the site, and so we’ve started a process of making short videos that complement the learning within MyMaths lessons.

To find the videos in the Library, you can use the ‘Video support’ filter in the relevant strand, e.g. Algebra.

This will show all lesson and homework pairs that have videos to support them.

Video support can be accessed from the Library view of resources

For students looking to access video support from within a homework task, they’ll be able to do this wherever they see a ‘Video help’ button

Students can access video support from within the homework task.

Where relevant, students will be able to decide if they want to watch a video that is specifically tailored to the homework question they’re tackling or if they want more general support on the topic.

Students can access video support that is specific to the homework question they are answering, or support that is more general to the topic.

In our initial release, we’ve added 25 videos that go across 11 lessons, but over the coming weeks and months, we’ll be steadily adding to the number of lessons that have this support feature.

We’d love to hear what you and your students think of the new video support and how we can further improve it – if you have any feedback for us, please let us know at: mail@mymaths.co.uk.
