I am trying to create a free to use educational videos helping students connect with Mathematics

I am not planning to create an invention but I am desperate to create inspiration. Being a Math teacher I am constantly battling lower test scores and uninterested pupils. No one would every admit to not being able to read but 90% of the population would happily admit they can't do Maths. I work in a normal state school with normal kids and by the law of averages their ability should be normally spread with that of a private school, so why aren't they? Pupils these days are no longer inspired by maths or by the amazing feats that be achieved by applying simple theorems. I want to bring that back. 

My school, like most other schools, believe all a pupil needs is a book and a pen to learn maths. This is so wrong, I want to show pupils how math plays a intricate part of their lives and hopefully 20 years down the line help them create something that will change the world.

To do this all i need is some funding to buy equipment that will bring it all alive to them. An interactive white board, a camera and a space to create free videos of my lessons that I can distribute around the country to help students of every background.

Being a teacher I know what engages students and I want them to feel the same passion for mathematics that I have but as of yet no video resources are interesting enough or useful enough to actually improve any student (Type any math topic into YouTube to see for yourself). Let me change that and bring the UK back into the modern world and stop playing catch up.

Risks and challenges Learn about accountability on Kickstarter

The only main problem I see is being able to promote my videos wide enough that they make an impact. I plan to start small and slowly expand. i would start with the pupils at my school and then roll it out to the borough and eventually the whole of the UK through YouTube.
