Been teaching my 8 yo granddaughter this. She's in the third grade but tests in the 94 percentile at a 5th+ grade level. This should be taught everywhere.
I have more ways then he taught here .
you are a legendary grandpa
@@nelsonfung7642 really
@@nelsonfung7642 make a video then
@@Liana_2.0 yes I am about 6x of speed then others .
This man is a real legend. He just not keep his secrets to himself but share it with every body so that everyone can benefit from it. Love you sir

Even now, as a 27 year old I struggle to add large numbers in my head. This video is very helpful to me and I think this video is very useful if you don't know how to add or subtract or if you can add and subtract but cannot do it in your head efficiently. Please don't delete this video as its very handy and very informative and keeping the video on UA-cam would be beneficial for anyone and everyone.
Great work. 👍🙌🙌🙌👏👏👏👍👍
Literally one minute in and I already learnt something so useful. This guy is a genius.
I strongly agree with you. The fundamentals of mathematics should be enjoyable .
Also, thank you so much, these videos are incredible. I'm 39 and about to go back to school, wanted to brush up on my math and you have been most helpful!!
Thank you for making this video , I am 50 years old and love math and now more , this gentleman has an amazing way to teach . I watch all his videos and I am teaching to my kids 6 and 11 years old. Again thank you .
Thanks for your video, it really helped me with fast metal addition
Alhamdullillah♥️ You help me a lot. Shukran
Where are you from brother
Thank you so much for this video! Great help... Bless you Sir!
My 4 year old loves these videos, math fascinates him. He is only in kindergarten but is a few years ahead of his peers when it comes to math and looks forward to school. I just hope his future teachers will be just as great and informative. They way Arthur Benjamin makes math easy and interesting is a skill in itself.
Thank you for the feedback! We're happy to be part of your kid's learning path and appreciate the nice comments!
He´s so good at explaining these concepts. Even though I knew these concepts from other videos already, I enjoyed every second of it. Wish I had math teachers that could have taught me that when I was younger, its a game changer and makes doing math fun
so true
His mental calendar is fantastic. I use it all the time.
There are so much to learn. Thank you for this video.
Wonderful class very helpful thank you sir
This is wild! No one ever taught addition/subtraction in this manner.
I did for many years.... told my students dont listen to school all the time
Fantastic method
You are so genius sir, Thanks a lot
Amazing thanks
This is so helpful everyone should know about this
this is the most helpful vid i've ever seen
👍 Fantastic lecture! Thanks from a fellow backgammon player!
Amazing .
a min and 30 seconds in and I already learned something, jeezes. The way he said "it'll be 60...something." new way of looking at it, one step at time instead of all at once.
Love this method
16 and absolutely genius very handy for calculus and algebra II
Thanks
Thank yo I always struggled adding in my head
thank you
I did this method to my 5 year old and do mentally. She now can add 3 digits mentally. The trick is you have to do every single day. She can also minus in 2 digits. She just 5. This method works wonder
Thanks 🥰🥰🥰👌
I did technics similar to dat Im glad that the technics are told to other children :)
i was just seeing your 2013 vid like your content cuz i am weak in maths
Great
THANK YOUUUU❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
So, anyone knows if im thinking the 3 digiti addition in a weird way?
for example, when we add 766 + 489 this is what i do:
7+4 = 11, so its 1100
8+6 = 14, so its 140
1100 + 140 is 100+140 = 240 plus the 1000 = 1240
then 9+6 = 15, so 40+15 = 55
so 1255...
Any thoughts?
Same
took you 2 seconds ?
slow
took me 1 second
That works but treating it as 766+500-11 is less steps so that might potentially be faster if you can recognize immediately that 489 is 11 away from 500.
I did 489+766 = (500-11)+766 = 500+(766-11) = 500+755 = 1200+55 = 1255
I've found it to be the most efficient way by far
UA-cam recommended this to me after I wrote mathematics and science in a comment a few hours ago. I was subscribed to this channel though but this is first time I am recommended to watch

You are so great grandpa I love u I’m your
Wow 👌 gg.
His method was similar to the method I learn from a book I bought many years ago. I think magic math or something by a rather plump author.
@@CuteGirl-ok5rt ok since you are a cute girl, I recalled and researched. It is Math Magic, by Scott Flansburg

Wheres his first lecture that he is saying about? The left to right.
I would like to know where you're finding these 560cal milkshakes 😅
1=75 2=81 3=158 4=142
NAUURRRRR NOT ME SO CONFIDENTALLY SAYING 6 PLUS 7 IS 12 LMAO IM SO DONE WITH MYSELF GOTTA GO BACK TO ADDING AFTER ALL? AYO?
ordinary people add from right to left,genius add from left to right
19:25 to be continued
i am asian reacting to this i can say its fine.
I’m struggling to keep numbers in my head, for example “(766 + 489) 700 + 400 = 1100 after that my mind goes blank with 66 and 89 in order for me to finish solving the problem,” it gets jumbled up in my head.
Drill single digits. Sounds simple and wasteful, it is not. You want to know them instantly by recall. Then do it while being distracted by other things until you *know* them.
You will know when you are going to have to "carry". When I think 766 + 489, I know 7+5 =12 (to be clear, 6 + 8 is going to result in a "carry"). So I would have 1246 + x as the person telling me the problem is saying the "ty" in eighty. Then when told 9, I would have the entire answer of 1255.
When you *know* the single digits by heart, and being distracted, you can calculate the answer as you are being given the problem. No need to remember any numbers already given and can respond with the answer "instantly", even though you have the last number or two to finish completing the calculation.
Having the answer a fraction of a second when they are done also allows you to continue the process if they continue with something else to be added. Again, you can discard what is already used. There are times I know the answer, and do not know what the problem was.
Being distracted and able to still know allows you to do it while being told more (ie distracted), and use when they say "thousand", "hundred" "ty" to continue building the answer.
If looking at a written question, looking at the next digit tells if a "carry" is needed.
People under estimate needing to know the single digit, "quick and easy" calculations. That is all that is being done along each step, know them, and you know the answer without doing much other than changing digits to another digit you know they become.
Practice using 2 digit numbers. Then you will start learning 2 digits + 2 digits is whatever. Ex. 15 + 35 = 50 (easy for most to instantly recognize), 65+ 26 = 91 (not so obvious for most) and so on. Then when good at 2 digits + 2 digits, move on to 3 digits. Use 1 digit at a time if the problem is verbal, if written use 1, 2 , or 3 digits if you know the larger grouping or not.
For the 66 and 89 with ugly numbers I always try to make them look friendlier. My go to steps to solve this would be:
1. take 66+89 and rewrite it as 86+89-20.
2. 80+80 is 160, then subtract 20 for 140.
3. For the 9+6. Make the 9 a 10, then you have 10+6-1. 10+6 is 16, 16-1 is 15
It looks complex and slow but it’s not very hard. The other solution is to just memorize numbers + numbers, and my teachers since 2nd grade criticized me for this method, but it has always been what came easiest to me. Another example is 7+6. 7+7 is 14, 14-1 is 13. It’s just an automatic thought process to me I don’t really think about it. Break down numbers to easier things to do mentally, you will have an easier time.
Looking back on it, the other way I would solve it would be to make 66+89 66+90. From there it then becomes 90+10 for 100, then add 50 for 150. Then add 6-1 because you added 1 earlier
. Both ways would be my response it’s a tossup for this.
Hope this helps!
14=5 98=8 13=4
Sadly this doesn't work in german as you say the last digit first and not the first digit. This is if you have 47 for example you say 7 and 40 instead of 40 7, making it somewhat useless to know the ten digit first.
boi need a tailor
I’m definitely going to homeschool my kid, I don’t trust any schools anymore. Too political
Nasty carryings and borrowings
What is grandpa name
yes I do have more ways .
you want to learn ?
Nah this dude is nuts, deadass showed cheat codes rn
He is a good magically boy than you your looking him
WTF everybody know this
Lovely people said lovely things
No do not do math in your head that is wron for math learners. They must practice systematic development in writing step by step.
This is really amazing🙏💞....big problem can be divided in small chunks 🤏 & tackle it
