These videos all bring something to add to my understanding and skills base.
Seeing definitely works better for me than reading.
Using visual models, colouring and crossing out parts and then advancing into abstract problems all covered.
The Math Mammoth series of videos really useful for Stage 6 students who need extension and depth at their level.
This tutor explains very clearly and has helped me considerably.  

Teaching Channel- using pattern blocks to develop an understanding of part/whole fractions-such a good idea. Learners are learning numerator/denominator in a very meaningful context. Students use multiple representations- words, symbols
Concept of the whole is built easily using this idea.
