You’ve probably never thought about combining math and art class, but maybe now, you will! This teacher shares his new approach to math, where he uses colors to represent different numbers.
He assigned 10 numbers to 10 different colors — zero is white, one is black, two is red, and so on. That means combinations of numbers become combinations of colors. The result is an equation that’s educational and pretty at the same time!
What starts as multiplication or patterns quickly begins to look more like art class than math class. But behind the colors is real number sense, memory tricks, and a whole new way of thinking about equations. Turns out math might be a lot more visual — and creative — than most people realize.
In Andy Warhol, Revolutionary Artist and Icon, host Lily Cole explores the life and lasting influence of Andy Warhol. Warhol was an artist who became famous for his unique perspective on consumerism, fame, and the culture of mass production. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Icons: The Greatest Person of the 20th Century, a documentary series celebrating the achievements of the most influential figures of the era.
In The Go Jetters Fly High Over the Nazca Lines, the Go Jetters crew is flying high in the sky and sees giant pictures on the ground below. These pictures, called the Nazca lines, are in the Nazca Desert in Peru. The pictures, or "geoglyphs," were made by people long ago who carefully moved stones and sand to reveal lighter-colored sand beneath. Because there is little wind or rain here, the pictures have stayed the same for hundreds of years! This video is excerpted from BBC’s Go Jetters, a series that follows the adventures of four plucky international heroes as they travel the globe visiting the world’s most famous landmarks with their friend and mentor, Ubercorn, a disco-dancing unicorn.
In Hunting With the Masters: The Art of Survival in Deniui, host Simon Reeve visits a remote village in Deniui, Namibia, where some of the world’s last expert wildlife hunters live. The locals welcome Simon and teach him survival skills, like digging deep into the sand to find poisonous beetle larvae. He watches as they craft toxic darts for hunting, a skill passed down to young men as a vital part of providing for their families. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Wilderness With Simon Reeve, an epic adventure into the heart of Earth’s last great wild areas, where nature is at its most beautiful and fragile.
