    Great tutorials! I will utilize your method with my Grade 6 students. However, there were two errors most like an oversight in your calculations. (1) You had 10/3 = 3 1/2. It should have been 3 1/3. (2) You had 3 1/2 ÷ 2 1/3 = 7/2 ÷ 7/2 but it should have been 7/2 ÷ 7/3. I just felt the urge to bring it to your attention. Keep up the good work!!

    I am 71 years old and loving every minute of your exercises. I am impressed at how much I remember. I was above average in maths at school, but not good enough to successfully pass my maths "O" level as it was called at the time. I think you must be a good teacher because I feel really motivated and can follow. I did notice you made a small mistake in number 2 but please take your mistake as a compliment because I was following you so closely with TOTAL enjoyment. Also, I have a question. When I went on line I found a chart with BIDMAS/BODMAS and "your" PEMDAS but I noticed that with the BIDMAS & the BODMAS the division comes before the multiplication. Why ? I thought the order of execution was universal? Again, please take this as a compliment because I am enjoying every moment of your exercises. I have even bought myself an exercise book and have subscribed. And guess what ? I am an ex-teacher (but not maths LOL).

I don't know what the solution is.

    • @firstinthedance
      @firstinthedance Рік тому +4

      The important thing in the order of operations is to remember that first you address whatever is in parenthesis, then you address any exponents. Then you think of division and multiplication as a single step, meaning that you work the equation from left to right, doing any multiplication or division as you come to it in the equation. You do whichever of the two comes first in the equation. After you do the multiplication and/or division, you do the addition and/or subtraction as a single step, again working from left to right, doing whichever comes first.

    When simplifying proper fractions I always taught my students to find the highest common number that would go into both the numerator and the denominator. That way you could arrive at a fraction in its lowest terms

    • @user-iq6fn5cm7q
      @user-iq6fn5cm7q 2 роки тому

      HOW TO SIMPLIFY FRACTIONS THE EASIEST WAY:
      If the difference between the numerator and denominator is 1, the fraction cannot be simplified.
      A. Ask: does the numerator go into the denominator evenly (i.e. without any remainder)?
      If yes, proceed to B.
      If not, proceed to C.
      B. Great! The simplest fraction is 1 over the number of times the numerator fits in the denominator. (e.g. 20/60, 20 fits evenly 3 times, hence 1/3.)
      C. Write the remainder, (e.g. 20/46, (20 fits 2 times in 46, with a remainder of) 6.) to the right of the fraction, and ask: does the remainder go evenly into the numerator?
      If yes, proceed to D.
      If not, proceed to E.
      D. Great! The "remainder" is the Greatest Common Factor. Divide both the numerator and denominator by the GCF/remainder to have the simplest fraction.
      E. Write the "new remainder" (using the last example, 20/46, 6 fits into 20 with a "new remainder" of 2) to the right of the previous "remainder", and ask: does the "new remainder" fit evenly into the previous "remainder" (2 into 6)?
      If yes, proceed to D.
      If not, proceed to E.
