6th grade math teacher here. We've been working on this and my teammate and I hate trying to teach the modeling version of it. This may be the best way I have seen to do the modeling. Thanks, Mr. J!
This is the most confusing thing in math I have veer seen. My school years were put of the US, I learned math un general in a whole different way, even simple division is different. Once I moved to the States and was able to go to college (12 years after graduating HS) I started with college algebra and most of the stuff i had already seen in 9th grade and above. I was always finishing first and my professor had me show him my work a few times, then he told me he also learned the same way (he was from Ethiopia) but that the "American way" tends to add too many unnecessary steps 😏
This is so broken I don't think the people teaching it even know what they are really doing. They are literally just finding a most common denominator and then dividing the numerators.
Could you make a video that gives an example of a fraction quotient that is less than one and not involving whole numbers? For example: 5/7 divided by 13/8. Using the area model.
Can you tell us the limitation of such operation? I made up one situation that I can't come up with an answer using your method (4/7) / (3/4). However, I can get the anser using my method: (4/7) x (4/3) = 16/21 which is < 1.
It works acc, just that he didn't explain it. So the thing is, if u realize that the amount of the shaded part in the second square is greater than the amount of the shaded part in the first square, the shaded part of the first square becomes your numerator, and the shaded part of the second square becomes your denominator
I know this is a year old comment, but someone else might also have this question. What helped me pay attention to this principle was the fact that sometimes I might have to divide a partial of something up into even smaller partial pieces-say, dividing leftover slices of pizza up among friends evenly. (I like pizza and fairness, so this is what worked best for me. I’m sure everyone else can find less cliche ways to frame the situation.)
i honestly feel like an idiot because no matter how many times this is explained, i understand the formula but conceptualizing it makes zero sense to me whatsoever. like i really just dont get it atp

I have a math test coming up on this topic, now i fell like im ready to ace it, thanks Mr J
did you ace it?
@@xy.han4 yup
5th grader here im always aceing my test after your vids tyy
I was legit soo confused, but this halped a lot
You should also get help with you grammer
@@puravida.57you too, its grammar. Not “gremmer”
@@seangie And you too. Please learn how to capitalize letters before commenting on other peoples grammar. Thank you.
@14spiderman Why not? I don’t see the problem. It’s grammatically correct to start sentences with conjunctions.
@@shaikhaali7447 What do you mean? You can only start a sentence with a ` and ` if its a subordinate clause.
Im not sure how others are taught,but using one square of an area model like you'd do with multiplication does the job.
im a 8 grader and it is hard to solve this question but nowi get it thanks mr. j
ty broski i be da big brain now
You helped my friend!!thx
U teach greattt
thank you for ur time I didnt understand a thing I was lowkey watching tiktok but yeah
studyin be like
I love you Mr.J
wow i actually learned something. Thank you! Mr.J

Helpful thanks
Man thank u
This just makes everything harder then it has to be
I know
Yeah
Actually yes
This helps a lot
Love ur vids they help me alot

For the hardest is the pythagorean theorem

can you also make a visual explaining how the reciprocal plays into this diagram?
shut up
@@dharmapatel333 no need to be so mean
jk hahhahahahahahahahaha
what if it was in an word problem it really help me tho .
It was kinda confusing but I've learn it ty!

Brother, can you do easy
I can definitely do this know
my daughter need help your my favrite
MR.J Can you please do a video on comparing 3D shapes and 2D shapes?
PLZZZZZZZ

My math test is in 3 hours ty
I don’t understand 💔😔
me too
Me too😢😢😢
Same
I know how but I don't understand why
Thats because he is adding to much stuff to it
What hardware do you use to capture your video?

My second question is what makes a fraction dividing by another fraction meaningful or useful? Is there any application of such operation in practise?
Yes imagine u have 3 and half kg(3, 1/2 kg) of Tomato In one bag you have to repack then in packs of quarter kg I.e 1/4 kg .. so ?

Thx so
What about when u have a mix number divide by a fraction. Do u just make it into aj imprper fraction and then do yhe keep flip method thing?

anyone is 2024
good
omg ill go on khanacademy then go to here
Why did you say that here, its basically insulting Mr J
Thanks Sir J
How do I know what the denominator is
its the thing on the bottom. look ⤵
1 ⬅ numerator (the number on the top)
-
8 ⬅ denominator (the number on the bottom) ur welcomeeee
i am confuzzed
I want to watch a different video who's with me
Mr.J, do you do this for a living
@Steve Liu he is just asking no need to be so rude
@@sopy8316 exactly
Idk
@Steve Liu U got a lot of sass
Mr Jayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!
im sorry but...
W H A T ???
bestie i feel ya
6:12 it didn't 😂
u yap alot but ur explination is great
Who likes this way?
Mr j helps me understand math so I like it
I’m doing this because of school and I’m in 7th grade not in 5th
Who saw the other pov
i honestly feel like an idiot because no matter how many times this is explained, i understand the formula but conceptualizing it makes zero sense to me whatsoever. like i really just dont get it atp
If this is for conceptual learning ok.. but this takes 5 hours and an art degree when you can just multiply by the inverse… what is this
im still confused
This method made it more confusing
no Farina Alam
I don't understand well☹️

This video is 6 minutes long and theirs just 2 questions
So?
@@wilhelminawoody9812 yeah so
You are totally wrong. Don't post any video on math. You know nothing. 3/4÷1/2 = 1/2 😂. Who teach you that?
Ur wrong!! It is not 1/2, but please tell me how you got that and if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say it.
i hate this
You're wrong
can I ask why?
Delete this video, dont add more chaos to the world
