It’s a always a good day when my math dealer uploads
Very informative. Very basic, I like that. Back in school, we had this whole thing where we would break down a larger percentage into smaller parts, then add them together. But that's the opposite of the common phrase "work smarter, not harder". Math, just like many other aspects of life, can be broken down, but not necessarily always into the smallest bits possible.
I wish I had a math teacher like you when I was in school, amazing stuff!
Love how you show the quicker methods unlike most teachers, who expects us to use the longest methods
You help me so much in my upcoming tests and for my SATs. Thank you so much for everything you do!
Thank you so much!!! THIS IS SO FUN!! Have a great day!
Thank you so much! Incredible video and super intuitive
Love the ease of how you teach .
this is honestly game changing!!
Your voice is so soothing to ear, and your explanations are superb. Your voice makes it so easy to understand the concept. Your channel is the best.
Just a great way to start my day thank you.
Hi mate, I am teaching my child, math, from the Trachtenberg System via Speed Math for Kids 2. In fact I was teaching some of my oppos in the Australian Military, the same back when I could see. See one, Do One, Teach One. Having said that, Ive been watching your videos for some time, and they're wonderful. I am making Playlists for my daughter so that she can watch them in her own time. I however am Disabled, and since my last spinal fusion I have become blind in one eye, and photosensitive, hence where once my problem was needing a 1 inch wide pen, hence my University Math I had to do on Whiteboards (well my last exam anyway), now however, I have to live in Dark Mode, hence Ive had to buy professional UV lights and I am reduced to using the same solution on a black glass whiteboard, still waiting for the second. Its taken me 5 years to get to the point where I have my system in Darkmode, and not everything I can see. So was wondering if you might consider doing your videos in blackboard style again, black background, bright colours.
Would help me, help her, better. Thank you if you see this, I appreciate all of these videos. I used to be able to deploy a CZcams invert colours plugin, but its gone now. I cant look at them for any more than a few seconds or without sunglasses which never helps much, its kinda like staring at the sun. Anyway, if you could, Id appreciate it. I dont want to stuff up your work flow so I get it if you cannot. Cheers
I learn something useful every time I watch one of your videos. Math always came relatively easy to me but I despised the way it was taught in school. There was always this attitude that there was just one way to solve any particular problem and that always seemed to be the most convoluted overly complicated way imaginable.
Math teacher. "Oh, you need to get to the second floor? You need to start digging a tunnel north, then collect the material you need to make clay. Build a kiln and make bricks. Then you use the bricks to build a temple. Draw people to your temple and create a religion. Form a society around your new religion and build a city. Once there are enough people and enough of an economy for people to specialize start mining metal. Proceed along the technological progression until you develop faster than light travel, then come in from outside the plane of ecliptic and land on the 2nd floor."
I exaggerate but not nearly as much as you might think.
My "Why not just walk up the stairs?" questions were never well received.
I'm always happy for someone to point out another set of stairs (or an escalator).
Thanks for sharing!
This is how I did it in elementary school. It was so fast I was always accused of using a calculator on tests or cheating on tests (even by the teacher). When I taught the teacher what I was doing she couldn’t believe it was so simple!
That's awesome.
I love it when my students track me stuff (all the time!).
@@tecmath LOVE YOUR VIDEOS,keep up the work!!!!!😀😁🤣
I'm glad I found your channel sir! Your explanations are very clean and clear. Thank you so much!
@@SuperYoonHo Thanks! I'm also just out here learning and improving more on math as well as looking for ways on how I can teach math better.
@@ThePiMan0903 👍👍👍Good work
Clean? Well where are the dirty ones? 😏
Omg thank you soooo much I’m actually horrible at percentages but now I’ve got it
Think I can pass my next maths test now 👍
Just another great video i love it its beautiful move Thank you so much sir.
Loving these videos, you do sound so happy throughout 😊
Great method, thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much for making this!
Thanks for a new method!
It works! Amazing!
Happy New Year Josh. All the best for 2023 and I am always delighted to relearn maths tricks. Another year into maths appreciation.
Love you man thanks
It was quite good, thanks
Really good method!
Thanks for making math enjoyable
I love this one
Seriously thank you sir!!
Thank you 🙏
Thank you very much
Thank you so much sir, for your help
Great channel! It would be awesome to have a quick screenshot of more practice questions at the end :)
This was neat. I’ve always wanted to know more tricks for percentages and I have completed past differential equations and work as an engineer lol
I love it! Thank you!
Me too!
Thanks :)
Love it.
Omg that was so helpful thanks
For the 3rd one it’s the same as 90% of 9. Double & Halve. 9x9, move the decimal. Great video! I think you’re like a coach, give us the tools to exercise our minds. How about some side videos with extra practice questions to accompany the main ones?
I used basically all of his methods when I solved them but I like yours for the 45% of 18. It's clever in a way I wouldn't have thought of
Thank you. I initially became confused when he explained that part. It is much easier to work out 90 percent of 9 than 5 percent of 18.
I understand what he means now. Instead of working out 5 percent of 18. It is easier to double the percentage to 10 percent and halve the 18 to 9 to get the same answer of 0.9 to then subtract 9 from 0.9 to equal 8.1. Your way is still easier and more efficient though.
@@suzannerhind9307 percentage calculations become much simpler when you realize it’s just multiplication and moving decimal points. I find 4.5 x 18 easier than 45 x 18. Not sure why.
Love 😍 it!
OMG TYSM!
I broke it down to 10% then x 6. Your way is easier for me 👍
Bloody legend!
Hi, my daughter loves your clips, thanks so much.
Right now she is struggling with Index Law and Logarithms in year 10 maths. We live in Lismore and these classes were disrupted by the flooding. Unfortunately her teacher refuses to listen to the classes repeatedly requests for this info.
Would you be willing to post videos teaching this?
Please?!
Now you gave away my stun the cashier trick .
Shhh.
I only told you guys...
Great video :).
Beautiful little trick there mate
Thanks.
Great math tricks
Brilliantly easy. They didn't teach this kind of maths at my school when l was a kid.
Nor me.
We were taught to mindlessly follow a formula.
I love it !!, I love you , Everything is beautiful
I set my equations up a bit differently, using cross multiplication to achieve my answers. For example in the case of 30% of 61. I set my equation up to read 1/30 is proportional to 61/100, then I cross multiply and divide to obtain my final answer. Thus, (30 x 61) /100 = 1830/100 = 18.3.
Thank you so much, I understand your explanation well than his.
I love your teaching, u are the best teacher.
NICE
I do like this already
Did it the way you originally showed!
Oh wow, I was doing this intuitively, the first example you showed I did it exactly like that.. But it didn't take me 5s, more like 30 lol😅
the way i did it was by doing 3 x 6.1, 9 x 81, and 4.5 x 1.8 respectively
Everything is beautiful
This guy is the legit oversimplified for mathematics
"Is that how you did it" NO lmao im so dumb. I love your videos man. Keep it up!!
Plz bring something on log ,antilog🙏🙏🙏🙏
I would have done 6x4= 24; 6x2=12
Carry the 1: 25.2%
Same works for say 7% of 212:
7x2 = 14; 7x1 = 7; 7x2 = 14 (carry the one again)
You get 14.84%
👏🏻👏🏻
No matter what the procetage is, I always divide the number on a 100 pieces then multiply with a given procentage
ok ...i love you 🤣
wow, for the first time in my life i understand maths 😭😭😭😭
I wish you'd taught me maths at school, I wouldn't be bad at it and scared of it.
Thanks.
👍🏻
ay i accually got those 3 the same way he did. im genius
where was this when I suffered in middle school
what i do is to find 60% of 42 i put a decimal point so i do 4.2 x6= 25.2
25.2
I love it. I love you. Everything is beautiful.
Or you can times 60times40 that is 240 6 times 2 equals 12 240 plus 12 252 dived by 100 25.2
I did it using your example, 50% of 61 = 30.5 10% 0f 61 = 6.1 added together comes to 36.6...double the amount, which is obviously wrong, but why?
When you add the 50% and 10% calculations together you end up with 60% of 61 instead of 30% of 61
I did but a little differently.. I multiplied 6x 4= 24. and the .2x6= 12. so 24+1.2. 25.2
I was always told I was bad at maths. Perhaps my teachers should have beenn told that they were bad at teaching maths...? (After the first example I did all 3, the same way as you then did...)
Another, relatively easy, way is this:
42 * 60% = 42 / 10 * 6 = 4.2 * 6 = 25.2
42×40=16,8
42-16,8=25,2
I got the first 2 Right did the second one differently than you, did the third one differently than you and got it wrong by a little bit. I got 7.9 I realize now that when I broke it in to 25% and 20% that my calculation per 20% was just wrong is all. Oops lol
90% of 860 I did it by cancelling 2x0s and 9x86 = 774
When I was in school I would actually do these type of shortcuts but even though I would get the right answer my math teacher would reprimand me for not doing it properly or showing the work.... Consequently, I lost interest in math in math class because there was no way to be creative. I ended up regarding math as Orthodox, routine and full of drudgery.
9 divided by 10 = 0.9. Yes.
But how does that equal 5%???
10% of 18 = 1.8% and half that to get your 5% of 0.9
I've been trying to figure this out too?
You're last sentence is correct and an equally valid way of working out 5%.
50% of 18 is 9, so 5% is 1/10th of this... 0 9
18.7% 344% 8.1%
I did number 2 like 50% and 10% x 4 :S
Too many steps, you can do it in your head in less than 5 seconds….
the 5% is still so confusing to me for some reason
For 90% I still found it easier to just take 10% and multiply by 9
For 90%, I find it easier to subtract 10% from 100%. God bless!
Thanks. Thank you for sharing.
You found 86 x 9 easier than 860 - 86? Funny how the brain works.
H.S.!
I have a method to
My method it's nama BRUVpercent
Example 20% of 79
20%X79\100
=158\100= 15,8
PROOF
15,8×5= 79
The formula
Is
Percent×the number:100
Love from indonesia
79×80=63,2
79-63,5=15,8
Always use BASE 10!
Don’t need base 10 here….
This made me very confused you should try to explain better in the next video
Are you british???
Sounds Australian
He is Australian.
He is martian
I'm from West New Zealand (aka Australia)
@@tecmath Kiwi did briefly cross my mind but no Kiwi twang...as an Aussie living in the US 99% of the time people think I am British. Interestingly though, anyone I have met here who is British folk think they are Aussie. When students try to mimic my accent they never, ever sound Australian but more British. It took me some time to realize they weren't making fun of me but that is what they hear when I talk.
I hate math so much
6 times 4.2 is quicker and easier.
Do you always multiply the 1st two numbers no matter how high the number? Ex. 2473 would you multiply by 2.4?
@@JG-tx7mt that’s a whole another number my guy, keep all the numbers
@@JG-tx7mt No.. assuming you're looking for lots of 10%, you'd multiply by 247.3
Jopflah No it isn’t quicker 🙄
It must really annoy you with all these twits trying to better you👍
Wow my math teachers all sucked
not applicable long method
