Math shouldn't be confusing. And neither should teaching it.

I don't get it!

Possibly the most frustrating word for any math teacher - or parent - to hear. You've tried and tried to explain the concepts, but it's just not connecting. And you're not sure what to do next.

Enter MathLight.

Sometimes students just need to hear a concept explained again - and again - before it sinks in. Other times hearing the topic explained in a different way will do the trick.

With just one of you and twenty of them, that's not so easy. But when you add MathLight videos to the mix, suddenly it's not so overwhelming.

Expert math teacher Rick Scarfi teaches each concept by video. His explanations have helped hundreds of students grasp even the most complex mathematical concepts. And now you'll see your students experiencing those light bulb moments as well.


Each MathLight unit contains quick review videos for each lesson that quickly summarize the main concepts and remind students how to work the problems. With an average playtime of 2-3 minutes, these videos are so versatile you’ll soon be using them everywhere. And we won’t be too surprised if you find yourself pretty much falling in love with them.
