    I remember the day my teacher told me to go and watch this video 12 years ago. I had a C- on the assignment though. Cant believe how time flies on. I was just browsing online when I saw this video. It brings so much memories. Today I have my degree in software development. Thank you KHAN ACADEMY.

    Subtraction is like saying "not" when speaking. "I am not going to the movie" means that you will not go to the movie.
    "I am not not going to the movie" means that you will go to the movie.
    In language and in math, double-negative cancel out. If I "take away" negative 5 dollars from you, I am giving you $5.

    I am a College Freshman, and I'm on Christmas Break. With so much free time, I literally have played video games so much, that I have decided to do something else for about 2 hours a day. For the next 3 weeks, I'm going to watch ALL Khan Academy videos, from Pre-Algebra, to Algebra 2, then freshen up on Trig, and Pre-Cal. I want to go ALL the way back to the start, so I can try and mop up some of the stuff I forgot.

    My mom constantly tells me that math has changed SO much the past years. It has been 14 years and this is what we’re learning. I don’t know how drastically they changed it, but she was born in the 1986. So she was my age in 1998. That’s 8 years before this video was made. So I guess almost a whole decade before this was when she was doing this kind of math. This is just proof that our education system is super wonky. The new techniques we’re taught are (in my opinion) so much harder then the strategies my mom taught me. She stopped teaching me tho. However she taught me how to add 3-4 digit numbers so thanks lol.

    The important point is to start off by plotting everything on the line. If you are adding you go to the right if you are subtracting you go to the left.
    The only exception is when 2 minus signs are right next to each other. In that situation you replace the 2 minus signs with a plus sign. Which means you go to the right (adding).

  • @bridgetflood1086
    @bridgetflood1086 6 років тому +1

    When ur adding or subtracting numbers a easy way to do it is to cover up the signs for a second, take the bigger number minus the smaller number, and then use the sign of the bigger number. For example: -5 + 8 =__. 8-5= 3. The bigger number is positive therefore -5 + 8 = 3. This also works when subtracting (unless the sign is the same)
