Hi! I'm 10 years old and fractions really bother me, your videos REALLY help me understand math. I just wanted to say thank you and that I enjoy watching your videos!
Have always been bad at math, but used your videos 4 years ago to get into nursing school. Have to take another entrance exam for school again with similar math as before. Thought I had saved your videos, but didn’t, and all I could remember was it was the “Australian guy” who taught me- can’t believe I found you again! Thank you so much for making math easy for me! Subscribed!
@@patriotjon8535 Well, for one thing just knowing you understand and can solve the fractions is a great feeling and, second, maybe you can help someone else who is struggling with fractions. For myself, I will be confident doing fractions and I will be able to help my grandson if he needs it. I've always been afraid of math because I didn't understand it and I've always thought I was inept at math, but now I know I just never had anyone who knew how to teach it so I could understand it. Have a GREAT day! :)
I am a 52 year old man and I sucked at fractions at school. Trying to help my kid's I came across your website and now my kid's and I understand fractions. Thank you 👍
@@Official_Trey269 wat, even I like math. Just becuz other ppl say math is “mental abuse to humans” that does not mean everyone hates it. It’s his/her opinion. U should respect it.
Thanks THANKS You have helped me refresh my mind.... I'm a mom with a 5th grader and i need to help her... it's amazed at how far we as mother love our children that it's like me back in elementary. Once aging THANKS
That's not surprising. I've seen videos in which high school math teachers (have to take calculus and higher-level math to teach) have admitted that they didn't really understand fractions until they had taught for a while. These days, the standards for math educators have been raised. They actually have to understand concepts, math logic, and be able to see problems from multiple perspectives. Simply memorizing the standard algorithm isn't good enough, anymore. I've even seen some math teachers with shirts that say, "Math is a language," which is how I personally view it. If you want to have an even better understanding of fractions, I recommend you check out Dr. James Tanton here on UA-cam. He is quite creative and visual and does things outside-of-the-box.
for mixed numbers I've always resolved the whole numbers first and this way I only have to convert one side of the problem to an improper fraction. so based on your first example: 2 1/4 - 1 1/3 - First I would just subtract out the whole numbers so 2 - 1 = 1 my equation now becomes 1 1/4 - 1/3 - now I convert the 1 1/4 to an improper fraction which gives me 5/4 my equation is now 5/4 - 1/3 now make them have the common denominator, so 5/4 becomes 15/12 and 1/3 becomes 4/12 my final equation becomes 15/12 - 4/12 which equals 11/12
I am 49 and dyslexic in numbers. I can finally do fractions ,IN MY HEAD!!! thank you very much. I have been able to do formulaic maths but fractions have always stumped me. But all these options have unlocked it for me. Thank you so much.
Thanks for taking the time out to teach this it help me out a lot i use to have a hard time with subtracting fraction and now i can do it with no problem 👌👌
Xo Xo I’ve been cramming for a few days now. I’m going to take my text over the weekend online at home. Given how I do, I’ll go back to my recruiter with the rest of my paperwork and take the test at MEPS. I’m going into the USAF, and the AFSC I want needs a high score. What branch are you going?
Victor Alicea ask your recruiter if you can take the pi-cat that’s a test you can only take once but it’s Easier and if you fail that you won’t have to wait to try again they wil throw it away an tell you you can try when you like but ask your recruiter for more info on it but you got it bro no worries 🤘🏽
I love math. My husband who is more of a History buff hates math, but he loves watching your videos and gets amazed when he sees a 2 minute short cut on a problem that probably took him about 20 minutes to do. Love your videos. Keep them coming 😘
Thank you so much last year i couldn;t finish the test in time because our school didn't want us knowing about this but this year because of it I got top of my class. thank you so much liking and subscribing!
Thank you! I haven’t done mixed fractions in so long because of quarantine, so I came here to remember and test myself. Everything just came back to be like a flying brick though. Lol
