Math Videos for Kids!

How do hair stylists use math in real life? In this segment of How It’s Math, we visit a busy hair salon to discover how stylists use math every single day. From measuring hair products and mixing color in the correct ratios to timing services, scheduling appointments, calculating prices, and tracking business income, this video shows how math helps stylists work efficiently and create great results for their clients. In this Math in Hair Styling video, students will see real-world examples of fractions, ratios, measurement, time, angles, geometry, and money math in action. Rebecca Keller, a hair stylist and salon owner, explains how math is used when cutting hair, mixing color, measuring in grams and inches, and running a profitable salon business. This video is a great resource for teachers, parents, homeschool families, and upper elementary students who want to connect classroom math to real careers and everyday life. It’s perfect for career-connected learning, real-world math lessons, and helping students understand why math matters outside of school. Common Core Math Connections 3.NF.A.1 – Understand fractions as parts of a whole 4.MD.A.1 – Solve measurement problems using standard units 4.MD.A.2 – Solve real-world problems involving time and money 4.G.A.1 – Draw and identify lines and angles in geometric figures 5.MD.A.1 – Convert like measurement units within a given system In the video, students also solve this salon-themed word problem: If 1/4 of the hair color mixture is brown dye and 2/4 is red dye, how much more is needed to make a whole? Whether students are learning about fractions, ratios, geometry, time, or measurement, this video helps them see how those skills are used in a real job every day. Let's be Friends!

Radiologic technologists use angles to ensure X-rays are just right. These experts help doctors see inside our bodies, aiding faster recovery after falls. #RadiologicTechnologists #XRayTech #MedicalImaging #MathInMedicine

Have you ever had an X-ray after a fall? In this How It’s Math segment, we explore how radiologic technologists use math every day to help doctors see inside the human body and diagnose patients. Meet Samantha, a radiologic technologist, as she shows us how angles, measurement, and multiplication play a critical role in taking accurate X-rays. From using 45-degree and 90-degree angles to positioning patients correctly, to calculating how many X-ray images are taken in a busy day, this segment brings math to life through a real healthcare career. Students will see how concepts they learn in school—like angles, precision, and multiplication—are used in real-world jobs that help people feel better and heal faster. This segment includes: - Real-world use of angles and degrees - How math ensures accurate medical imaging - A multi-step multiplication word problem - Career exploration in healthcare and STEM Encouragement for students who think they “don’t like math”. Perfect for classrooms, homeschool lessons, and families looking to connect math to meaningful careers. Common Core Math Standards this video can support: 4.MD.C.5 - Recognize angles as geometric shapes formed by two rays, and identify angle measures in real-world contexts. 4.MD.C.6 - Measure angles in whole-number degrees using a protractor and understand angle measurement as additive. 4.OA.A.3 - Solve multi-step word problems involving multiplication using real-world scenarios.
