You can hear a smile in his voice, it makes it so fun. Man thanks for making these!
I am 72 years old. I was never great at maths. I learned enough to get buy. Finding these videos has awakened my interest. Thank you
If your reading this you have test coming up and we are going to pass thanks to Tec
You'll pass thanks to yourself!
yeah
@@tpose8280 nope

Yeah I have a test to enter my new school haha
Every day is a school day! I'm 69 and hated maths at school, come to think of it I hated school. It's never too late to learn. Cheers.
I can totally relate. I'm 43 and I never liked school. Incompetent teachers, useless subjects rarely anyone has interest in, and the lack of practical applications/experiments to spark interest in a given subject. I believe I'm a lot more intelligent today than I was back then. I never liked history, geography, or biology, but have tons of interest in psychology, quantum physics, and astrology. Chemistry, on the other hand, seemed like rocket science back then, however, I self-studied parts of it 5 years ago and found it to be fairly simple. It's amazing how the education system isn't really educating most of us, but seems to be more about discipline, obedience, and following rules. It's more of a brain-conditioning institution than anything else. Creativity has no room there, memorization is celebrated and rewarded, just as if that's what Tesla and Einstein did.
lol 69
@@michelleisabella9991 it's true, though 1952 was a good vintage 👌
@Ludykins almost as good as 96. That's 69 after an argument 😉
You are a good teacher. When showing others what I learned, I tell them my teacher taught me this method.
He not good
He perfect
Always loved my maths, and at 75 I'm still learning, especially from you. Thanks it's great
thats amazing! May God bless you! Give Him your heart and your life, accept the Lord Jesus as your Lord and savior, He is always there for us.!:)
Wow❤️❤️
@@nicolerabbath8591 Stop preaching. No one wants to hear it.
Josh - for the past two days I have watched your many math vids and refreshed my memory of fractions and percentages. Your brilliant way of teaching is super helpful, esp if you haven't been to school in a while - HIGHLY RECOMMEND your vids over the others. THX
This man's voice makes math so welcoming lol
he makes math a comfy bedtime story
Ikr
It's called sexy as..
It's Jeremy Clarkson from Top Gear
@@ColbyEasterling i cant tell if he is using voice changer or not lol
I love this... it is not really about tricks but about mathematical reasoning... Good for you!
.
I like your teaching style, fun and accessible for young children.
Thanks
Where were you when I was learning math!?! I always paid attention but always struggled. Thanks so much for this teaching ! At 51yo I have a real desire to go back and learn these basics for myself! Glad to have found you!🙏❤️
Keep the maths coming, you make me enjoy maths rather than hate it.
I’m a teacher and I do teach this. Oddly enough some parents will blame me for teaching “common core math” when I show number sense strategies like this.
Awesome James. I got taught to follow the formula, and this unfortunately is all too common. Thanks for teaching and thanks for watching.
Study your basic add, subtract, fractions, multiple, ➗, protractor, triangle scale rule, standard ruler and metric system ruler, if school offer carpentry classes to learn how to make 25° angel to 45° angel. Carpentry wood work classes is harder than I thought it would be DC average grade was good enough for me. Lol
@@O-ShinSpringsWater and be sure to go to English class to learn that an "angel" is not an "angle" but you do know that for every girl that has the curves (some would call her an angel) there is a guy that has the angles.
@@O-ShinSpringsWater click the vertical 3 dot at the end of comment and select edit. That should do the trick.
That is very good and i want to be a teacher and teach the teenagers things you didn't know about school and how to educate yourself and parenting and tricks you didnt learn in school i want to be a secondary school teacher or year 7 teacher
This is excellent! I am a homeschool mom and struggling to teach math “clues and tricks “. These are great. Thank you
I learned this in a public school in the 70s, these videos are the greatest
It’s not the same today! They use all kinds of weird funky models and make it impossible for parents to understand. SMH 🤦♀️
So did I
this is the number 1 best youtube channel created, i actually have a chance of passing my math test!
Wish they taught me that at school. You've simplified this for me. Cheers fella. Thumbs up ☝
Im here cause at 31 i suck at math and im ashamed of it.. So im trying to learn abit. Lol
dr0e7x Hey, you ar trying to learn, That is something to be proud of.
Lol im 31 and trying to pass my next test to get into the army
@@scottlondon8382 same lmaoo
I passed and got mos 😌
@@itemps mos whats that
You are amazing and your sunny vocal disposition makes learning this a mandatory pleasure. Thanks!
They need to teach it this way at school. This was how I learned percentage
when I was in elementary school in Vietnam!
Awesome. We never did get taught this way - just follow the formula!
They teach us a different way bur way easier and shorter
Thank you for this channel, I have always let math defeat me!
At 56 I decided I am going to learn how to do it even if it's the last thing I do!
This channel is a little gem that I have just stumbled upon. Thankyou so very much for sharing all this
You are literally the best, I wish my teachers in school had been like you
Brilliant. One child is dyslexic. So teaching these easy methods to both kids. They are so good. Why make it difficult when it can be easy!
WOW! Finally at age 50+ 😂 How is it that I learnt how to do this in minutes, when I spent years at school struggling and still didn't grasp it 😁 Thank you. Ok, just gonna give my Maths teacher sister in law the heads up 😉
Lol ok boomer
@@sonny3703 😆 Get off my lawn 😂
Because not all teachers are good at teaching, especially not teachers with a fixed mindset.
@@llb9605 Exactly 😉 may also have something to do with preferring to watch paint dry than do maths 😂
@Dark side of the force Wow! They should try freediving instead 😄
Once again Josh you have given us a 100% brilliant lesson. Many thanks.
This is my favorite video ever now. I’m 31 and never learned these tricks until this video 😭 I really think the school system just hated their students
These are some of the best videos I've ever seen! They are totally practical and easy one you get the hang of it! I'm going to be watching all of your videos! Great job, thank you very much!
LOVE LOVE LOVE! Thank you so much for this!
This is an amazing video! I love all your math tricks. Studying for the MCAT right now. I honestly feel so dumb that I didn't recognize this myself with all the math studying I've been doing! I wish you were my teacher in highschool - ours were not so great.
Thank you for explaining these tricks! No more digging out the phone/calculator and spending ages trying to work math out the long way!
Tip 3 never occurred to me but makes so much sense, since percentages are basically an extension of multiplication and division if you think about it
Thank you! I'm 30 years old and just worked out how to do percentages PROPERLY. I never understood it and just pretended I did because after asking the teacher for the 3rd time they thought you were stupid and stopped trying
Fantastic as always.... Seriously much better than any school methods
Love this calculation doesn’t heard my head, so is good 👍
Thank you so much!!
I'm really happy to know this!!
I just took probability and decided to get ahead of school, I never knew how to calculate percentages now I can do it no prob! thank you for the amazing video
Fantastic summaries. Very helpful my man, thank you 👍🏽
Honestly you’ve made me interested in learning math for the first time in my life. Thanks a ton!!
Love these videos and little tricks. I just wish that they were around when I was in school. Woud have made things a lot easier.
Thanks.
Been using this simple trick for ages. Awesome stuff
You are a brilliant maths teacher....and your voice makes Maths just that little bit more enjoyable. Please keep these videos coming 🙂
Never knew about reversing the %, 32 to 50 example, great trick 👍🏻
Math god I happy that I found you sir. My 5 years of high school never thought me this. Thank you so much sir.
Several years back in one of my classes one of the students was lamenting that it was difficult to learn math. I began explaining the construction of math textbooks. While I was discussing this a math major was nodding in approval all the while. Suffice it to say that math textbooks are not constructed is a sequential pattern. I read of a math teacher in Texas who wrote a textbook in a sequential order (Chapter 1 presented a concept; chapter 2 expanded on it; chapter 3 completed the discussion). Thing is, he couldn't get the book published. Why? Math teachers don't teach in that order. They don't teach these tricks because they never learned them because of the way they were taught. This disjointed pattern naturally restricts finding little tricks that make learning math easier.
thank you so much, i have an exam coming up and this really did help me. your videos are great tecmath!!
👏👏👏👏 been watching some of the vids now and i find it very helpful... thank you.
Brilliant video :) excellently explained :)
love your videos and very useful, please them coming

Wow! So simple, thank you for your help.
Thank you, really helpful and well presented.
You're videos are awesome! Thanks!
Very helpful, thank you!
1st Viewer here, Nice video!
This dude should be my Math Teacher!!!!!!
Thanks man, helped me with normal percentage problem :D
Edit: Thanks tecmath for the like and reply!
Welcome! Stay good!
G'day mate! You are a legend 👌🏽I need advanced math in my career, but your videos are rewiring my brain when it comes to basics. Thank you!
Very fun and informative...thanks!!!
thank you for the tricks as always, helps out a lot
Okay, first of all: you are so quick and to the point and the tricks are very cool too, but I gotta say; I am *totally* staying even more for your personality 😦😆💕 You are SO much fun and you sound like an awesome person!! Thanks teach- keep 'em coming! :]
Very good presentation of a commonly confusing topic.
Thanks
Great video lesson!!!
bro thank you people are acting like you learn this in school and are shocked maybe i did but i only was taught it once
I love these videos. I've always considered myself bad at math but these videos show I just didn't have the right methods
With values closer to common numbers; 50%,75%, etc. It's easier to start with that value and work down.
So, for example. 45% of 22. Well, 50% is 11. therefor 5% is 1/10 of that, or 1.1 . So 11-1.1=9.9
A harder example: 21.4% of 49. OK, so 20% is double 10% - so 4.9x2= 9.8 (if you can't do that, then 2x5=10, subtract .2)
1% is 1/10 of 10%, so it's 4.9/10, or .49.
.4% is 4/10 of 1%, or 4x1/10 of 1%. so .049, double is .098, double that is .196.
9.800+.490+.196=10.486
Break the number into figures that are easier for you: maybe you do 21.5% and take .1% out, or maybe 22% and take .6 out.
Amazing!!! Thank you 😊
Why don't they teach this in school?
Because they know students are gonna come to learn from your channel anyway.
The math teachers weren't taught this way. So, that is not how they teach it.
I was taught myself this way 50 odd years ago, no tinternet then.
@@paulrounding5260 learned to do this before grade five which was over 65 years ago. I do my restaurant bills that have HST of 13% all the time by using 15% and subtracting 2%. For the tip -- 15% of the cost of the restaurant prior to the HST. Oh, another way of doing the 15 x 13 --- memorize that 15 squared is 225 and then subtract 2 of the 15's or 30 and one is back to 195. Another useful square is 25 squared = 625. I used to know a lot more squares but did not find them useful very often so the HDD in my head became full and I had to uninstall some things and they were the first to go. The worst thing is that many math puzzles totally stump me but arithmetic is decent.
Because teachers of schools don't really know this concept themselves. This concept may have been invented in the later years
You can't teach thinking.
Just need to teach them how to do the math .... then the student needs to put forth effort in the gray matter.
The best voice for teaching. Thx
Here I am doing spreadsheets and this comes up on recommended. This saved me a lot of time in the future I think.
Thank you tech! That was something unexpected!
Fantastic. Thank you.
I like to read and learn new stuff. Thank you?! This was excellent. I need to brush up on my math skills.
I appreciate your channel always interesting to learn new tricks.
Thanks for your trick. It was more than what they taught it school
This is explained it way better than my teacher
I wish I saw this video when I was back in school! Thanks for the cool tricks
Love this!!!
