There are many different ways to look at culture; materialism, ethnocentrism, and norms are just three of the theories you’ll learn in the Standard Deviants culture club. Then, put on your white gloves and summon your butler, because then it’s a discussion of status and social groups.

Pre-Algebra: The Basics
The Standard Deviants start off with pre-algebra basics, such as integer exponents, the rules of exponents and factoring numbers. Along the way, you’ll meet that excellent number juggler, Erastothenes and his mathematical genius.
-
Famous Figures in Sociology
It’s a sociologist bonanza. The Standard Deviants cover several of the major contributors to sociology. Who are these people? How’d they get into the history books? What did they say about family and society? You’ll find out how their work influences budding sociologists today.

Vital Concepts
The Standard Deviants travel from top to bottom and from high to low, all in search of the math concepts you need to know: tree diagrams and square roots, greatest common factors and least common multiples. Plus, get ready for some prime time prime factorization.
-
Roots and Rational Numbers
The Standard Deviants get back to their roots-higher roots and roots with fractional exponents, that is. But it doesn’t stop there; they also take a cruise down the number line and keep our eyes peeled for rational and irrational numbers, plus repeating decimals.

Basic Algebra
This program continues the discussion of the number line and includes a review of intervals and inequalities. Then it’s the first steps into basic algebra-constants, variables, equations, and a special surprise appearance by X.
-
Algebra Equations
Throw out your pre-algebra preconceptions, because after a quick review of our basic algebraic equations, the Standard Deviants head straight into more advanced algebra. It’s double the fun with double the X’s. Includes solving for variables, absolute values, and get started working with graphs.
-
Using Graphs
It’s the return of the graph! The Standard Deviants plot linear equations up and down the graph, then plot two lines, and wrap things up with drawing inequalities. Our double plot lines come to a head at the intersection. It’s a mathematical thrill-a-minute.

Pre-Calculus Companion CD-ROM
Transform your Standard Deviants School videos into a complete lesson with these supplementary CD-ROMs! Within each lesson, you’ll find everything you need to present and reinforce the material covered in the program, including a Teacher’s Guide with helpful presentation notes, a Program Guide that lists the most important topics in each program, QuikNotes – illustrated notes with definitions and examples, and a quiz. Also usable with the Standard Deviants videos. Mac and PC compatible.

Rational Functions
All the great pre-calculus your growing body needs. It’s function junction today, because the Standard Deviants add, subtract, multiply, and divide all sorts of rational functions.
