Why am I here?
You need a qualified math teacher!
A great math teacher is hard to find. Although there is no substitute for a qualified, experienced, and effective math teacher, Cool Math Guy (CMG) can help when a dream candidate is unavailable or prohibitively expensive.
CMG video math programs not only provide a veteran math teacher, they fully support the host teacher. Schools can deliver a complete math course that students enjoy, parents admire, teachers can easily manage (with CMG support) and schools save money.
” I began using Chalk Dust (now Cool math Guy) with my oldest son when he started Pre-Algebra. We continued with these materials for his entire high school math career. He went on to make a perfect score in math on both the PSAT and the SAT.
I soon realized that he needed AP Calculus. I approached our small hybrid school about using Cool Math Guy videos and, having an engineering background, offered to proctor the class. That was over 10 years ago and we have been successfully using Cool Math Guy for all that time. Students, parents, and admin have all been very happy with the course. Students have gone on to be successful on the AP exam and in their college math courses. I regularly have students and parents come back telling me what a great foundation they received. We have now adopted these videos for many of our math courses and couldn’t be happier with our partnership with Cool Math Guy.” ~ SA, Teacher

How Does it Work?
Using Video Instruction In Your Classroom
- Flip the classroom. Assign video(s) to watch and a textbook activity to complete before class meetings.
- Offer many options for help. If students get stuck on a math problem, they can (a) rewatch the video, (b) search the textbook for a similar example, (c) follow along to the answer in the step-by-step solutions guide, (d) save their question for class, or (e) contact Dana Mosely.
- Reinforce in class. Answer student questions and conduct activities such as worksheets, quizzes, or group discussions. It may help to rewatch the video as a class.
- Check student progress. Assign practice tests (in-class or take-home) at suggested intervals, usually following successful completion of several sections. Review as necessary according to student progress.
- Complete the chapter with the end-of-chapter test.
How Does it Work?
Getting Started
- Get textbooks. As classes form for the year and students register for math courses, send parents the ISBNs for textbooks and solutions guides. Links to online vendors can be found on the Cool Math Guy website.
- Collect funds for video access for each student. One-year access to the video program is $80 per student.
- Purchase the program. When a final headcount for a math class is known, proceed to Purchase Now and following directions for payment.
- Receive assess codes for students and the teacher. Once checkout is complete, a coupon code for the number of students entered will be received by the purchaser, plus one more code for the teacher to access ALL CMG videos.
- Distribute codes and setup instructions. The coupon codes will include step-by-step setup instructions.

Who is the Cool Math Guy?
Dana Mosely is the video instructor and host of Cool Math Guy programs.
He has taught math to students at all levels, from middle school to advanced university courses:
• 7 years as a junior high math teacher
• 11 years as a high school math teacher
• 5 years as a full-time college math professor (and many years as an adjunct)
and
• 20 years as the on-screen host and producer of video programs for math textbooks published by the college divisions of Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, Cengage Learning, and DC Heath and Company (now a part of Houghton Mifflin Harcourt)
From the mid 1990s, Dana has interacted with homeschoolers, administrators, parents and their children via the Chalk Dust Company, publisher of Cool Math Guy video instructional programs.
Dana’s Teaching Style
Math comes alive—and becomes approachable—under the right teacher. Dana’s teaching style is conversational, engaging, and easy to understand. He has a knack for explaining complex math in what feels like a living room chat, taking the anxiety out of difficult or intimidating topics.
