    7 years later from when this video was posted, why is this just so amazing.
    I have been struggling with this skill for years and now this is the simple way of doing it.
    I never really write comments but I had to in this video. I never even understood the triangles.
    This made it much simpler! Thank you!

    I'm a trainee science teacher (biology), and I must say this had made my life a million times easier. I was concerned at how I can make equation re-arrangement easier especially for my mid-lower sets (as well as my top sets) and this is going to be a life saver. Thanks so much. I will pass on your vid to my colleagues on my course. That way, we can ditch those bloody triangles and make life easier for our kids.
    Thank you so much!

    @andescosmico3016 3 роки тому

    This is amazing. Every high school child knows what this video shows. It is the most simple thing.
    The worst thing about this video is that it doesn´t explain why equation rearrangement is
    done the way this video shows. It is a very simple idea:
    If you have an equation x=y,
    in order to get another true equation, whatever you do to x you have to do the same thing to y.
    For example:
    if you have
    x/y = z+k
    and you want what z is equal to, you simply subtract k from both sides (x/y)-k=(z+k)-k
    which gives (x/y)-k= z.
    If from x/y=z+k you want to know what y is equal to, you simply have to multiply left and right
    sides by y to get x=(z+k)y, and then divide both sides by (z+k) to get
    x/(z+k)= y.

    • @Mujiboy
      @Mujiboy 2 роки тому

      For the first part, you don't really cancel it from both sides you simply move k to the other side, other than that pretty good explanation.

    • @ChrisThorntonUK
      @ChrisThorntonUK  6 років тому +1

      I got a degree in Electronic and Computer Engineering, then went back to university for another year to do a Post Graduate Certificate of Education (PGCE). Strictly speaking I'm only officially qualified to teach all three sciences to KS3 level, and Physics to A-Level, however due to staffing and timetabling issues schools I've worked at have often needed me to teach GCSE Chemistry and Biology too. I still have to do more research for those subjects when I teach them, to make sure I'm getting things exactly right, but a lot of GCSE Biology and Chemistry is just an extension of the KS3 work, so it's manageable. I think I'd struggle to teach anything other than Physics at A-Level though.
