I have never seen someone explain something so complex and broad, like the field of mathematics, in a way where absolutely anyone at all is able to comprehend and practice it with such ease. Maam, you are by far the best teacher I have ever had the pleasure to even call "teacher". I love your videos and the way you explain things so simply. I really do hope you keep teaching and you will always find reasons to do so. Thank you, love from a future GED holder named Muqtada from Iraq :D
Kate, I wanted to give you props for your amazing teaching skills and to say thank you immensely for doing these videos, for free and making it so easy to follow along. I have been struggling for at least 4 years to tackle this subject of algebra and each time I would give up. I now feel so much motivation, I am truly seeing how it works, my eyes are wide open!! I don't feel scared and that's something I couldn't say a few years ago. Old me would be crying by now but I am taking this head on. Thank you again, for teaching this to people who need it, for making these awesome videos, and of course your energy! I never found math fun until I heard how you explained it.
What a testimony! Thank you, Pamela, for sharing it. So encouraging for me. So glad you are conquering your fear of math; that's probably the most important thing an educator can help you with. Once you realize you are capable and it isn't as complicated as you thought, you make so much more progress. Please let me know if you have any questions and happy learning!
I'm only seven minutes in, and wow, you're teaching me things I had never considered about algebra before. I understand some of the manipulations, but not the underlying assumptions and rules around variables and certain operations. I never stopped to consider that variables could represent all numbers, for some reason I always thought of them as something to be found, not what they really are. I always asked why and never got an answer. This is giving me some answers.
Thank you so much for teaching and making these videos for free!! You have helped me immensely with math. I'm no longer scared of seeing any expression or equation I just want to learn how to simplify or solve it. (And I actually think math is fun now... lmao) Which my past self could never dream of me saying. You have been BY FAR the BEST teacher I've ever had. Thank you, so much.
Thank you, Stephanie! I love that the human brain is so plastic. No matter how much you struggled before, it doesn't stop you from learning now. Best of luck in your studies and please let me know if you have any questions! Happy learning!
on the aquation 5.9=P-142 I got confused thinking 5.9 was asking me to multiply 5x9 because in math you can write 5 multiple by 9 different way like. 5(9), or 5X9 0r 5.9 no?
Just do the worksheets. The Quizlet there was supplementary, created for a student who needed lots and lots of practice negating equations to remember.
Bingo! Expressions can stand alone. For example 5(7) is an expression. So is 4x-5. But if you set two expressions equal to each other, you get an equation! 4x-5=5(7)
What if there is such a thing as a fractional element of a set, where part of its properties are contained in the set and the element, but part of it is not? There's a thing called fuzzy set theory, but I'm saying that an aspect of the element isn't a part of the set.
Let's say that object 1 had set n symmetrical properties. Object 2 has set n2 symmetrical properties. Let's say these objects are uniform in topology, the set n and the set n2 would have similar symmetry at point t1 to tinfinity. When the set is in a state of n1 and n2 exhibiting the same property then that set of topologies would be set s1. Set s2 is when the set is not in a state of symmetry. If these topological objects have an infinite set of both non symmetries as well as symmetries, then set s1 and s2 are coequal in total states.
You can TOTALLY do this! I've seen you checking of the Crucial Basics videos. Have you been doing one of our practice activities for each lesson? That practice is what will give you a really strong base to start with!
@@LightandSaltLearning Hello there and yes I been doing the practice activities. I check off the vidoes once I have watched them and understand. Thankyou for the time you take out your day to help people like me 😊
33:00 This doesn't make sense to me! m/4 4(m/4) 4m/16 4/4 = 1 16 / 4 = 4 = m/4 Edit I asked ChatGPT for help and I get it now: Good question! Let's break it down to see why the denominator doesn't become 16. When you multiply a whole number (like 4) by a fraction (like), you only multiply the whole number by the numerator of the fraction, not the denominator. Here's why: Given the expression: 4 × m/4 You can think of 4 as 4/1, so it becomes: 4/1 × m/4 When you multiply two fractions, you multiply the numerators together and the denominators together: 4 × m / 4 × 1= 4m/4 The denominator stays 4, not 16, because you are not multiplying the denominator by 4 - only the numerator gets multiplied. Then, since the numerator and denominator are both 4, they cancel out: 4m/4 = m This is why the denominator doesn't become 16. You only multiply the numerator, not the denominator, by the whole number. When you multiply fractions, you simply multiply straight across, as if you were multiplying whole numbers.

love the way you teach math so easy to understand. love your video's .
I'm so glad! Happy learning!
You are an awsome teacher with such passion keep up the good work I loved your video
Thank you so much, Athena! Glad you enjoyed the class.
Wow! This made so much more sense. I was freaking out a little before.
YAY!!!! SO glad it makes sense!

You got this! We are so happy to hear that these videos are helping you become more confident in your math skills! Well done. Keep working hard.
The coolest teacher ever !
Thank you, Mike!
I am trying to pass the tsi for math since im not at all great at it. but the way you teach is so immersive your students are very lucky to have you.
You're a brilliant teacher! You're helping so many people! Thank you so much!
Thank you so much! Glad we could help!
Great teacher I wished she was my math teacher because I struggle so much in the past
Thank you, Stephanie! I love that the human brain is so plastic. No matter how much you struggled before, it doesn't stop you from learning now. Best of luck in your studies and please let me know if you have any questions! Happy learning!
@@LightandSaltLearning thank you. You are awesome I love your personality and way of teaching
@@stephaniemartinez3282 Thanks, Stephanie! So glad you are finding the resources useful!
I'm so happy I found you.❤️
We're happy you found us too!
I Just ordered order the Algebra Essentials workbook.
Wonderful! I hope you love it!
What an awesome way to explain algebra I have my math test coming up these really gonna help me thank you 🙏🏿 !
Happy to help. Best of luck!
I passed my practice test yesterday after watching your videos thank you so much 🙏🏽
Great job! Keep it up!

Just a quick note. When I open the quzilet for this activity the keyboard is all funky. You can't really type in numbers????
Just do the worksheets. The Quizlet there was supplementary, created for a student who needed lots and lots of practice negating equations to remember.
so expressions are what are IN equations??
Bingo! Expressions can stand alone. For example 5(7) is an expression. So is 4x-5. But if you set two expressions equal to each other, you get an equation! 4x-5=5(7)
I most definitely wish @Light Learning was my Math teacher
Kate wishes she could teach everyone!
This was so so helpful tyy
You're welcome!
@@LightandSaltLearning hiii I passed my practice w a 166, real test is soon tho :):
Yes!!!!! Get it!
I’m still confused…
I understand. Math is hard. Don't give up! You can do this! No shame in watching it again!
Don’t give up! You can do it!
Do you offer 1on1 tutoring?
No, I do not. But there are TONS of free resources and support available to you in the Light & Salt Facebook group.
I have some conjectures i want someone to look at. I like abstract mathematics, but I never had the verbage for algebra.
What if we assigned n/0 a z axis on the 2 dimensional Reimann line? For instance, n = 1 would be coordinate (0,0,1) and 1i would be (1,0,1).
What if the Riemann zeta function = 0 when the new undefined plane is added?
What if there is such a thing as a fractional element of a set, where part of its properties are contained in the set and the element, but part of it is not? There's a thing called fuzzy set theory, but I'm saying that an aspect of the element isn't a part of the set.
Let's say that object 1 had set n symmetrical properties. Object 2 has set n2 symmetrical properties. Let's say these objects are uniform in topology, the set n and the set n2 would have similar symmetry at point t1 to tinfinity. When the set is in a state of n1 and n2 exhibiting the same property then that set of topologies would be set s1. Set s2 is when the set is not in a state of symmetry. If these topological objects have an infinite set of both non symmetries as well as symmetries, then set s1 and s2 are coequal in total states.
Those are my conjectures so far.

m/4
4(m/4)
4m/16
4/4 = 1
16 / 4 = 4
= m/4
Edit
I asked ChatGPT for help and I get it now:
Good question! Let's break it down to see why the denominator doesn't become 16.
When you multiply a whole number (like 4) by a fraction (like), you only multiply the whole number by the numerator of the fraction, not the denominator.
Here's why:
Given the expression:
4 × m/4
You can think of 4 as 4/1, so it becomes:
4/1 × m/4
When you multiply two fractions, you multiply the numerators together and the denominators together:
4 × m / 4 × 1= 4m/4
The denominator stays 4, not 16, because you are not multiplying the denominator by 4 - only the numerator gets multiplied.
Then, since the numerator and denominator are both 4, they cancel out:
4m/4 = m
This is why the denominator doesn't become 16. You only multiply the numerator, not the denominator, by the whole number.
When you multiply fractions, you simply multiply straight across, as if you were multiplying whole numbers.
