Hard question if your time is limited...\n\nThe Economics of Staying in School.... Human Resources and Development Canada. The presentation and video is geared towards older kids, but is well done and applicable in any middle years classroom.\n\nIdea... you can use any type of video... even a cartoon, and have the students count a particular word or action. Have different groups of students look for different words/actions. Then use these to work their knowledge of algorithms. (I realize that this is not what you are asking for, but a sub should be able to handle it).\n\nCheck with your librarian... there are lists and lists of good videos that you can access for free. Manitoba Education has loads of them. Career education areas tend to spotlight careers using math, science, and technology.\n\nIf you use problem solving as a focus in your class, maybe a movie on chess... Bobby Fischer, etc.\n\nOh... Bill Nye is always a good choice...

go to your local community college and ask them if they have math tutors. i'm a math tutor at my community college and tutor kids in middle school a lot. also advertise that you are looking for a math tutor as well. if that doesn't help, try any of those homework/tutor centers like Silvan Leatning Center. I help out at one in California, and they relaly help the kids. it's also in an environment where there are others just like him struggling in the same subject, so he won't feel so alone. try to stay away from instrctional videos and things like that. they dono't help that much since he is only 12 his attention span may be too low for something like that. one on one interaction is the best. good luck

Let your child watch the "Multiplication Rock" series of the old "Schoolhouse Rock" videos.  They are easy to get on DVD and are reasonably priced.\n\nThe animations, songs and little tidbits of information they share in the videos are fun to watch and some of the tunes manage to get "stuck in your head" (which is good for remembering).\n\nI recall remembering a lot of the songs in order to recite my 'times' tables back in the days of elementary school.
