First attempt at “screencasting,” perhaps some people will find it relevant or helpful:

Solving equations is a basic and essential skill. Learn it in Middle School (or earlier) so that you don’t get lost and fail out of High School—for real.

♪ Here’s the solving-equations song I made up to the tune of “Yankee Doodle” ♪

♫ If you want a quick solution
Check the operation.
Do the opposite on both sides,
Solving the equation. ♫

♫ Check the number(s) next to x,
Put them on the other side.
Gotta keep it balanced if
You wanna get the answer right. ♫

Stay in tune, and remember to enjoy 🙂
