How to Use Math Shack, a la Shmoop.

00:07

No offense, but…your brain is looking a little flabby. [Woman stood with a brain]

00:10

Hey – we said “no offense”! All it really needs to do is go to the gym…

00:15

and it’ll whip itself back into shape in no time. [Brain working out]

00:17

We know how much it would like to have that six-pack back again…

00:21

Okay, so your local fitness center may not have the proper equipment to give your mind [Doctor walks into fitness center]

00:25

a workout… …but Shmoop does!

00:27

It’s called Math Shack, and it’s a place your brain can go to bulk up…by practicing

00:30

an infinite number of problems in pre-algebra, algebra, geometry and more. [Shmoop math shack page]

00:35

It can do as many reps as it wants, earning Shmoints in the process.

00:38

And there’s nothing better than showing off all your Shmoints once beach season rolls [Man with shmoints on a beach with a girl]

00:42

around. Have a big test coming up? Math Shack will

00:45

help you prepare for it…by testing you on precisely the types of questions you can expect

00:49

to see on the actual exam. If you’re gearing up for the SAT…the Shack

00:54

will bombard you with SAT-type practice problems. So…you don’t have to waste your time practicing [Math shack practice questions]

00:59

any of that… ACT nonsense. Or vice versa. All right…to get started, go to your test

01:05

prep homepage.

01:06

And by the way, here are all the test preps that use Math Shack: [Test prep examples of math shack]

01:11

You’ll see a tab at the top labeled “Math Shack.” Click that sucker.

01:15

Now you’ll see problems organized by topic…Numbers and Operations, Geometry and Measurement…

01:21

Algebra and Functions…Statistics and Probability…

01:24

You can just… pick your poison.

01:27

So...let’s give it a spin. You can select Statistics and Probability… and boom – you [Statistics and probability web page on math shack]

01:31

instantly have access to tons of problems to flex those brain muscles of yours…

01:36

Need a hint? The Shack has you covered.

01:38

And if you’re looking over a topic you’ve already covered, but it’s…uh…cram time…

01:42

…you can click on Review Topic and cram to your heart’s content. [Math questions and answers filled into boys head]

01:47

As you go along, you’ll be able to see the green progress bar move forward, so you know

01:51

how you’re doing.

01:52

But be careful – if you keep using hints, the line won’t move forward as quickly.

01:57

And you don’t want your green line to stall. Stalling is no fun. [Car in traffic]

02:01

Once you finish a section, you will have mastered the topic, and it will show up on your test

02:05

prep dashboard.

02:07

If you want to save a problem so you can come back to it later, just click the star…and [Computer mouse clicks star]

02:11

that problem will be added to your “bucket list.”

02:13

Right underneath “climb Mount Everest” and “win an Oscar.” [Man on top of Mount Everest and Di Caprio on stage receiving an oscar]

02:18

Hey – one out of three ain’t bad.

02:21

And that’s all your brain needs to get started! No lengthy memberships, no hidden fees… [Brain in a fitness center]

02:26

it’s pretty much the best gym ever.

02:28

So go ahead and give the Shack a try.

02:30

Feel the burn, baby. Feel the burn. [People working out in a gym]
