Description: Mathematician Max Beberman leads students to the discover and proof of the The Zero-Product Theorem the Concept of Contrapositive Negation of a Conjunction Double Negation. Students indicated what information is needed about y and v with the constriction y times v is not equal to 0 in order to guarantee that the product of y and v is not 0. Black and white picture with sound. Eastman Kodak edge code reads " square circle " which correlates to 1965.

Description: Mathematician Max Beberman discusses the process of helping pupils to find solution set sentences and solve equations with a class from the Mathematics Institute. He suggests they make a game of finding solutions to open sentences so that students may understand the process of solving equations. Teaching students to use the natural discovery process to solve equation sequences is the reason Max Beberman created this film course. Mathematician Eleanor McCoy demonstrates Beberman's method when she leads a class in solving equations. Black and white picture with sound. Eastman Kodak edge code reads "circle triangle," which correlates to 1963.

Description: Mathematician Max Beberman teaches students that they can solve some equations simply by inspection but some are harder to solve. Easier equations must be solved first. Beberman introduces the idea that if you can prove that equation 1 is equal to equation 2 and equation 2 is equal to equation 3 then you can be sure that 1 and 3 are int he same solution set. Students are given homework to select equations that will have the same solution set. Black and white picture with sound. Eastman Kodak edge code reads " triangle square " which correlates to 1965.
