Could use more "text book" videos.

Miben segíthetünk?

I've worked through Geometry, Algebra I and Algebra II on my way to Pre-Calculus and Calculus, and I've noticed that the one weakness of Khan Academy is the lack of a text book. I basically had to write my own, deducing the needed principles, rules or problem-solving steps. Several times I printed summary content from other Websites.

People like me would benefit from more "videos" that are text-only and clearly state the step-by-step mechanics of working certain problems, provide formulas or list rules.

I discovered that the best guides are buried in the Hints sections, which I often transcribed verbatim.

Otherwise, I think Khan Academy is fantastic.

Thank you.

I'm age 70 and trying to compensate for the woefully deficient math teaching I had during my first 13 years of formal schooling.

Hi Bill Weber,

Transcribing your own notes from the "Hints" segment is a great idea!

To clarify, Khan Academy has more videos than textbooks because it is generally used as a sort of accessory to school. It is generally used as a study tool for struggling students who have their own textbooks at home. If you are looking to learn math with a textbook, I recommend purchasing one from a bookstore and using Khan Academy videos as a study/learning aid.

I admire your motivation to extend your learning after you have already finished school. And I hope my answer helped!

Let me know if you have any questions.

Sometimes, various concepts will have what Khan Academy calls articles. But they haven't made an easy way to print or do copy and paste to a document on a user's word processing system. probably for copyright reasons. Doing a screen print may be a way to handle this.
