That is so sweet, thank you so very much! I’m honoured to help learners of all ages all around the world. 😃🤗🤩🥰💕
CONGRATS! You deserve the award, your way of teaching is amazing and it helps a lot of students including me. I am subscribed to your channel in both my accounts.
Thank you so much! 😃 I'm very happy to be able to help, and delighted that you've subscribed (TWICE!!). I love hearing I've helped; it makes it all worthwhile. Thanks for your awesome comment 😃🤩😎🤗
congratulations mam you are amazing keep on making vedios I bet you will grow because you are amazing and thanks for helping me so much.once again congratulations
Thanks so much! I'm very happy I've been helping you, and I'm keeping on making vids for you. 😃😉😎🤗💕
@@LetsDoMath thankyou mam
Yeah!! Congratulations on your 100K+ subscribers award! You deserve it and more. I appreciate you, your gift as a teacher and your willingness to share via videos through such an entertaining app as PowToon!! After 20 years and a career change to become a math teacher, I ran into confusion & frustrations with the concepts GCF and LCM. Your explanations made them very logical & understandable, so much so that I've now moved on to conics. I still visit your videos for clarifications and tips on how to teach. (PS. I didn't imagine your physical features while watching the videos but you're smart & beautiful!) Thank you again for sharing your knowledge with all who desire to learn.
Thank you so much. This is a comment for the scrapbook, if I ever saw one! Talk about fitting: your channel name and what you put out in the world are a perfect match! Thoughtful, generous and kind to a fault. Thank you very much indeed, I'm touched. 😃🤗💕
Well deserved and u look pretty mam!! Thank u for helping me in my math too!
Sweet!🤗🥰
OMGGG CONGRATS YOU DESERVED IT!! YOU HELPED ME OUT ALOT WITH MATH AND ITS SO EASY WATCHING YOU!! THANK YOU SO MUCH AND CONGRATS
Thank you so much!! Glad to help. 😃😉🥰🤩😎💕
That's awesome. My son and I love your channel. Your content is explained so easy. Please keep it up.
Thank you very much! I’m keeping going. I’ve been stuck on the easiest way to cover percentages and I think I have my way forward. It does involve more videos than I was hoping for, but because of that it will allow more time and headspace for concepts to get in there and mature properly. I am green-screening some stuff today. Hope to have the vid ready soon. 😃🤗😎💕
Congratulations! You truly deserve it ...you've been a huge help for me and my kids...thank you so much! ❤️
Thanks very much! It was a big omg 😆 moment when I opened the door and saw the box on the porch. The delivery guy was excited for me. He was just walking away, probably didn’t expect to see anyone but I was quick to open the door after the doorbell went. He was very excited for me too. 😆😉😃🤗😎
Congratulations 👏. I love your voice and your videos.
Thank you very much! That’s so sweet of you. I’m happy you like my stuff. 😃🤗🥰🤩
Congratulations!!❤️ u deserved it and hopefully you’ll get more subscribers 🎉 thank you for teaching us i really love the way you talk ma’am it’s very calm and that’s make me focus more .. i have a request i hope you upload more videos about High School math problems we really appreciate that thank you❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much!! It is my intention to get into the high school stuff of course. Unfortunately the difficulties really start much lower and by the time students get to high school, many are already lost. That's why I started where I did. In large part, that's why there are so many adult learners, and I just LOVE to help them out too by making the math approachable and manageable.
I used to think that Fractions, decimals and percents was the first key hurdle in maths. But it turns out that division is the first stumbling block because so many students are only ever introduced to long division, and in my view that is a massive failing of student needs. I first met that at age 10, when I had been confidently using short division for at least 3 years, just like everyone else in my class. Plenty of time for the idea of finding a remainder to sink in so that when we finally encountered the lengthy set of steps involved in long division, while we all found it a pain, we were at least able to understand the point of it.
I'm taking a week away from percentages this week and doing rational, irrational and real numbers, which you might find useful. I've had 3 requests for this recently, and people are going to find it easy enough after seeing the vid I'm making.
Thank you so much for your help! You deserve it! And please keep on making videos, they're very educational
Thank you very much for this!😃🤗💕 It’s very nice of you. I think I will never run out of material for this channel, there’s so much to cover!!
OMG CONGRATS KEEP IT UP AND THANK U SO MUCH YOU HELPED ME WITH MATH A WHOLE LOT THANK YOU AND CONGRATS 💙💚💜
Thanks very much!! I’m so happy I can help. I am keeping on going. Had an absolute nightmare of a time working out how to get this vid done with the o relays. Couldn’t do it in PowToon, vid was too long. But when I did the overlays separately with a green screen background… solved. Now let’s get back to the math! 🤗😃🤩💕
You should be so proud of yourself You’re a true gift to the people in your life to be honest
That is very kind. I just try to help. I love it when someone turns a problem around and starts to succeed, that’s wonderful. 😃🤗🥰
U deserve it cuz animations are pretty hard to make and your videos are very helpful ive only watched 2 and i mastered them both
Thanks very much. If you mastered both the topics where you watched my vids for help, it would be neat to check out more so you can ace more math.
The best place to do that is on my website letsdomath.ca because there, you'll find everything is sorted by math topic, and it's so easy to find just what you want. 😉😎🤗
Well done. Pivotal for helping me homeschool. ❤❤❤
Congrats from San Diego!
Thank you so much! 😃😉😎🤗💕
Thanks for making math videos so helpful and congratulations
Thanks very much, always happy to help! 😃🤗🤩💕
You deserve it! I swear to God I wouldn't have passed all my math exams without you! All the math is very easy to understand with you! Now we need to wait for a 1M milestone :D
I’m so happy you’re doing well in the math now, and thanks for this note, it means a lot. You are very sweet about the 1M… I’m truly delighted to have this award. Being able to help people is a privilege. 😃🤗🤩💕
Congratulations! You are a great teacher. And your animation is great.
Thank you so much 😀 I'm just using what's available in the software. I just try my best to make it painless to learn the math so we can all succeed. 😃😉😎🤗💕
@@LetsDoMath please make a video on percentage. This thing is coming in my exam
U deserve it 💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞u help me alot with my homework💞💞💞💞💞💞💞
Thanks very much. I’m so happy I’m helping you, you’re learning and getting stronger when you apply what I have taught to new problems. Well done indeed, and let’s keep going. 😃🤩🤗😉😎💕
When my daughter asks for help the first thing I do is check if you have made a video. I wish someone had explained maths to me at school the way you teach. congratulations and hello from Australia
Thank you very much for this! I also wish that the teaching I’d had was like this. I am a visual learner (and I think most people are), plus I need to bolt new learning to concepts already in place; to make connections. I think we all do. That’s what I always try to do, so the learning makes sense. I think if I’d had access to these vids when I was in school, my attitude towards maths would have been very different. It took me ages to overcome the math-resistance I’d built up.
With Let’s Do Math (and letsdomath.ca) I’m trying to help learners never start building those barriers in the first place, and to take them down piece by piece if they are already part of us. There are many adult learners who use my channel, which inspires me very much; it takes a lot to admit it’s difficult for us, and persevere through that struggle, but we are stronger for it. We can beat this together and be successful in math! 🤗🤗🤗
you are wonderful
i liked your videos
You’re so kind , thanks very much! 🤗🥰😃
Very good.. Your videos really helped me in my studies.. You deserve it. Keep it up 😍🏅
Thank you so much 😀 I'm so happy the vids helped you. I'm keeping going! 😃😉😎🤗💕
Congratulations 😄
Thank you! 😁
WOW!!!=)
It was a big event for me. 😃🤗😉
Super cool! Congratulations 🎊
Thanks so much! I’m just delighted!!😃🤗🤩💕
Hope your channel would have more subscribers, it's very helpful educationally.
I feel the same way. I was delighted to go over 100k last year! My feeling is that if I help 1student remove their math roadblock, the time to create a video was worth it. But more students helped is always better than less. I just hope that people share the channel around and help other friends and colleagues.
Have you tried my website? I’m really pleased with that as a way to easily find just what you need. I have some practice pages on there to follow the teaching in certain lessons. I need to do more on that though. 😉😃
@@LetsDoMath did u quit youtube or did u take a break
I have taken a break. I’m coming back - I haven’t finished with math. Im in elementary school and due to COVID and our out of class learning, there are students whose reading is not where I’d like it to be. I have been focussing a ton of creative energy to how we can slide the learning in for these students. Some of them are resistant to learning and I’m using games (NOT computer or iPad!!) to help engage them. And the best thing is… it’s helping!
I expect I will switch back to math in June, but just now I’m full steam ahead on this early literacy stuff because it will hold so many students back. 🤗
OmG!Finally But A Question more math content like hcf and prime factroization with hcf kind of?
Hi there. Sorry but I don’t quite understand what you’re asking here. 🥺
You totally deserve this.
Thank you very much! It’s wonderful that people are subscribing, I’m very touched. 😃🤗🤩🥰
Congrats 👏
Thanks very much! 💕🤗😃
Congratsssss!!!!!!!
Thanks so much! 🤗😃💕
Great Job Congratulations you are the Greatest We have ever Had 🍎
Thanks so much, you're very sweet.
Keep on keeping on 🇺🇸
That's me! That's the plan. 😃😉😎🤗💕
Congratulations 🎊🎊 dear
Thanks very much! 🤗😃💕
Most welcome ☺️
おめでとう
どうもありがとうございます！
Thanks so much!
Congratulations @Let's do math you've helped me so much with math
Thanks very much, and it's always a pleasure to help you out.
OMG IM SO HAPPY FOR U 🤩! KEEP UP YOUR AMAZING WORK!!!!!!LOVE YA💜💪
Thank you so much!! Can you believe I have been absolutely stymied in the space between getting to that 100k mark, and actually getting the plaque? It's like it stopped me in my tracks. But now that I've moved past this moment, I can get back to reality and keep going with the making. Thank you so much for the positive vibes! I'm always happy when I see one of your notes, cos they are ALWAYS like this. You are just a total ray of sunshine for me. 😃😉🥰🤩😎💕
@@LetsDoMath Haha...I probably radiate positive energy lol😅
Originally coming from JHOPE from BTS hahahaha💜
Nice videos 👍👍😌
Thank you 👍
Congrats.
Thanks very much!
Hi you are very good at math you deserve that award
Thanks! I want to be really good at helping other people be very good at math. I want everybody to be strong enough at math so nothing ever holds them back. 😃😎🤗
Ok! I’m sorry, I didn’t note that many student names.
@@LetsDoMath you were a very nice teacher though
You saved my bacon during remote learning with my students last year and you've come to the rescue again this year. A very well deserved award!
It's such a pleasure to help, thanks so much for this note. Are you teaching grade 4 again this year? Your 2x1 multiplication prompt needs a vid shoutout. 😃😉😎
@@LetsDoMath I've got grade 5. I took my kids up which has been fantastic because I know *exactly* where they are at with everything!
That is SO AWESOME! I'm delighted for you all!!
Congrats
Thanks Dante! 😃🤗🤩💕
Do u remember me
@Dante Braithwaite Yup! Dante is a cool name and I had a primary school teacher called Mrs Braithwaite. Her husband was our vet in Garstang. He was also an Olympic gold medalist for clay pigeon shooting. 198 out of 200 targets hit! I just had to look it up to get it straight. Your name is quite memorable for me. 😉
Thx very much
Are you by any chance related to the same Braithwaite family? Bob Braithwaite was born in Arnside, Cumbria, but lived most of his life in areas I used to know as a kid: Garstang, Scorton, Quernmore (pronounced Quormer).
Congratulations! I'm a otherwise A student who got left in the lurch during the 1970s when "new math" was introduced in elemetary school. My mother, who learned traditional arithmetic and math was furious. She was told by my teacher that if I came into class and suddenly started to get the correct answer, the teacher would know that I had been coached in the old way vs new math and she would FAIL me.
We spent the entire 6th grade learning the binary system because "one day we'd all be using computers". Within a few years our class was so bad at math and so confused, our 8th grade math teacher was entirely flustered at how the system had failed us. He literally gave up and read the newspaper all day in our class because we were so far behind. He said "do the rest of your homework, you're unteachable". All but a handful of 150 students failed HS math.
Not living up to my math potential shut so many doors in my life before I even had a chance. It burns me up until this day. And when I see this nonsense called "common core" being taught in American schools, it drives me mad. They have made another generation even more math illiterate. Keep doing what you're doing. Your work matters.
Thanks very much. Sorry, but you're getting a full reply. You might want a cup of tea (or coffee) while you read this.
I feel so bad for you, for this awful experience. I get the point of new thinking, it's part of our professional development to take on new ideas. But that doesn't mean you have to throw old ideas out. And to me, if you throw away something that worked previously on the chance that this new idea is better, and then it fails everybody... well then you made a huge mistake and in fact employed a dogmatic approach, not a caring one. You failed your students, you failed as a teacher.
I can imagine your mum confronting the teacher about new math, and I can see the teacher digging her heels in. Unstoppable force meets immovable object. Teachers have to reckon with the fact that a student's parent (mom in your case) is that child's first and most potent teacher. You want to bring that hugely important relationship in to help, not try to cut it off! If the teacher had tried to have a discussion with your mom, and explained what she was trying to do and how she was trying to do it, maybe the door would have been opened for tweaking the idea so that some old stuff was incorporated too, and maybe everyone would have been helped. At the very least, maybe your mom could have had the teacher realise that multiple methods are better than just one. And her threat! That made my blood boil.
Your 6th grade binary experience rang bells for me. I'm sure we couldn't have spent the whole year on adding and subtracting base 9 through 2, but it was a lengthy period and it's STILL in permanent memory for me, and I seem to remember the same crap about us needing it for computers. I would have been in second year of primary school at the time, it was Mrs Robinson's class. She of the scary attitude that made me pee my pants that time I went to ask for help. I didn't make THAT mistake again!
The 8th grade teacher who wouldn't teach... how the heck did he live with himself? And when the whole class was failing, how come he wasn't observed and MADE to teach? Where were his professional ethics? Again... I'm livid.
I came to teaching because I care passionately about student success. And it's a bizarre twist of fate that I love to teach math because I struggled just like you as a kid. I had to take GCSE maths as an adult because I didn't pass it in school, and I largely taught myself. You can imagine the hours I put in.
Then when I had my kids in Canada we had our own problems, starting with learning tables. The Ontario math curriculum document that was in play while my kids were in elementary school was published in 2005. It wasn't explicitly stated that students must not learn their tables, but it wasn't stated that they must either. In schools, the teachers told us that this 'rote' learning was not wanted. The students were to develop understanding instead. I told my kids that even if they weren't learning tables in school, I required it, because it would give them a host of benefits (confidence, fluency, speed, accuracy...)
Fast forward to 2020 and learning tables is in the latest curriculum document, including my reasons why they need it.
Now let's go back a few years. I was supply teaching in the school where my kids had gone. I was in a grade 5 class, covering a math period with these kids. We were doing long multiplication and these kids were FAST. I mean they were roasting hot on their multiplication and I was intrigued. I'd never seen a class this smart and confident, or polite and responsive to a supply teacher either, to be honest. I had a discussion with them about their math, opening with the fact that I'd never seen a class this smart at multiplication before, what was their secret. They told me their teacher was their 'drill sergeant major'. I asked if they practiced tables in class and they said yes, but it was a secret. I told them their teacher had done them a very great service and they were awesome and should keep doing what they were doing. Of course they looked REALLY pleased with themselves.
At the end of the day, I bumped into their teacher and I complimented her on the class and how amazing they were at math. She said thanks and looked kind of embarrassed. I lowered my voice and told her they'd said she was their drill sergeant major and she got this kind of panicked look on her face. She said please don't tell anyone. I told her of course not, and again said that she'd done the class a massive service; I'd never seen a class this math-strong before. She quietly told me that learning tables like this was 'not done' and the only reason she had been able to manage it was that she was out in a portable. I reinforced how lucky the class was to have her and she was genuinely pleased, but looked worried in case anyone was around to overhear the conversation. What a state of affairs!
So now, all those teachers who refused to make kids learn their tables are now having to reverse their position and actually teach it, and she can happily continue in the open now, what she had done before to give those kids what they needed.
I'm not trying to claim I have all the answers, of course I don't! I am ready to take on new ideas too, but I'm not willing to abandon stuff that works just because it might not be the current trend. And look at that, the current trend is to bring in the old idea that we do actually need to internalise our tables.
Education is always a work in progress. Everyone has been through it, so everyone has first hand expert knowledge, and yet after all this time it still hasn't been perfected. We can just do what we can do, we have to care about the students, they must come first. Student success and development is the goal, not forcing a method on them. Not making them feel bad or lesser if they can't manage a particular method, but finding a way for them to succeed.
Big hugs,
Ginny Steele
Yay!!!!!! 😁
Thanks very much! 😃🤗💕
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaa❤

Let's just appreciate that this channel has been helping us with for over 7 years!! 💝 Thank u let's do maths 💝
Thanks very much. I want to get faster at making these vids for you! 😃😉😎🤗💕
IM FIRST HERE 👍👍👍
Nice!

*congratulations
I always use Google Translate on a language I don't know. I could have whizzed upstairs to ask my daughter (she's currently doing Japanese level 2 in university), but I want to know right now! Thanks for sending me an English note too.
私はいつも知らない言語でGoogle翻訳を使っています。娘（現在大学で日本語レベル2をやっています）に2階で急いで聞いてもいいのですが、今すぐ知りたいです！英語のメモも送ってくれてありがとう。
ALSO PLEASE MAKE A NEW MATH VIDEO I THINGK IT WILL HELP SOME PEOPLE WHO ARE SRTUGGLING IN MATH =) ;)
Awww, thanks for the encouragement. I am on a course that takes all of my outside work time at the moment. But happy news: it ends mid-December! Woohoo!! I will be free to do YT then. Until then, best place to find what you need on my channel is actually through my website letsdomath.ca. You go to the signpost labelled Resources and scroll through math topics. Much quicker than the YT interface. 😃🤗🥰
Why did you stop making videos
I needed a break, but then when I’d had enough of that I became very busy at school. Right now I’m on a professional development course which finishes on 7 December. Looking forward to getting back to it. Sorry you’re waiting. I literally have no time at the moment.
Great 👍
Face reavealed B)
Yup. I recorded this in front of my monarda flowerbed, as I was hoping that we might be visited by a hummingbird while filming, but no such luck. Oh well…🤗
