Alex Petrut Multiplication

Have you memorized it already?

I feel you :(

Right there with you buddy. 28y old, and math still does me in. As soon as people start doing math around me its like I forget to understand the language and get confused really easily. Trying to fix that problem. How's been goin for ya?

God damn it I want to take finance but I avoided math like a plague since elementary so now Im here lol

same :(

Seth Knights that's sad watch lots of miltpcation

Seth Knights me either

Seth Knights me niether

Seth Knights omg I 14 I barely know math that's why I study

Thanks you really helped me learn the 9s now I'm ready for a test.😁😀😀

That’s got to hurt on a nother level

Yeah

Same I’m also 10

You are right Genius thinkin Compare yourself against yourself Thats a win

Same with my mom it sucks

@Art Marthye Dungog I'm an 18 year old intellectual who stays up at all hours to study medicine. Give me a break woman. ;-;

Multiplication was basically when I hit my demise in math. I never got past my 3's and then everything else always had multiplication in it so therefore I never learned beyond that in math. I feel like that's how it goes for many people who are math illiterate. With math if you miss a single foundational skill, you can be completely screwed from then on.

i cant learn multiplication my mom expects me to memorize the multiplication im a third grade woman

Yaei am 8

Omg thank you💛💛💛

THANK YOUU

Leontien Schoordijk ye I will I can’t remember more than 3 things at a time and I don’t know why

BIG BRAIN

Your a legend you saved my life thank youuuuuu

I have the hardest time with 6, 7, and 8. And sometimes 4

@@adamx9793 same Adam, but now I know the technique, so it's not that hard anymore

I know teachers like this would have changed my life.

@FlyingMonkies325 You do need to, it's very important for exponents in algebra, you don't wanna be that guy who pulls out a calculator to answer 7⁸

You guys are snow flakes I have 3rd grade student who is memorize table until 1-50

hes too fast to talk it makes me dizzy

@@chiraggupta4656 Yes, that's how it is in India.

You weren't paying attention, you skipped a lot of school or your Parents were lazy.

Lol

Lmao true.

@@oldmanfromscenetwentyfour8164 Depending on where you live school doesn't teach you the chart. They expect you just to memorize it over time. Don't be a sheep

@@Shadowrose54321 It's funny how Sheeps (who don't know they're sheeps) call everyone else sheeps.

I have the exact same problem. If you ask me to solve any math problem I can do it...but with a calculator, I thank high school and middle school for that. This recently bit me in the ass because I had to take a test for an EMT course and I failed the math section because we weren't aloud to use a calculator. So now I'm here trying to learn my multiplication table so I can retake the test and hopefully pass.

Photosketch2347 Yup, I'm preparing for the ASVAB to qualify as a hospitalman in the Navy. I know exactly what needs to be done with the equations but don't have the mental training to do them without paper.

+Tapport I'm watching this to memorize.

same im in 9th grade

Tapport I'm going to 8 grade 💀

Me a college student 👁️👄👁️

@@malanumnoelc.6083 oof

Me an elementary school student: lol

FOCK

Same here. Almost going to college and would study Theorical Physics and don't know multiplication table.

Garrett

@@jeancarlosrosario6990 Isn't Theoretical physics 100% maths. I feel like it might be difficult to do without knowing your multiplication tables.

really, it is just a pattern, why people have to memorise them?

Garrett why memorize whole multiplication table ? Memorize from 1 to 10 is enough. When you have to do larger multiplication use this trick 😉 I.e 12×13= (12×10)+(12×3)=120+36=156.

Who knew I could learn the easiest strats for math just by reading the comments on an already great video, thank you, thank you

Wow! Thank you.

8 x 1 = 1 x 8 = 8 8 x 2 = 2 x 8 = 16 (8 + 8) 8 x 3 = 3 x 8 = 24 (8 + 8 + 8) ...

SO TRUE !

ohhh awesome! thanks!

what in English

i want easy

+Jazmine Walton right

bruh all of that number is the line of nine read the number downwards and youll se 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 and 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 9 18 27 36 45 54 63 72 81 90

Happy to help!

in one day 🥲🫠 meanwhile me:

The sacred texts!

Lol

Lmao

tips on memorizing?

😂

It's never too late to learn! We are glad you enjoyed this video. 😊 Thank you for your feedback.

most "teachers" dont know how to teach

Adam Aljabiri

KaileyZoe ha ha

The 9s were so easy. 8 and 7 are hard

Ya it's pretty jacked up because when I was in school, they just gave me the work and said do it... 😲 I told myself I'll NEVER GO BACK TO SCHOOL! Well.... Now I'm a homeschool teacher! Lol 😭😂

I'm not sure if it's still helpful but to solve 751-215 you can do 7-2=5, 5-1=4 so the first digits so far are 54 then 1-5= -4 then you can solve 540 with 0 ones -4 =536. For 310-235 you can do 3-2=1, 10-35= -25 then 100 with 0 tens and ones -25=75. It's a misconception that you can't subtract larger numbers from smaller numbers and with subtraction I find it's easier to subtract all the numbers then do it again to negative numbers.

watch my videos to solve maths without calculator.

Lol l😂

Yeah me to i thought i might watch videos to help me

The human calculator! 🤯

True why!

you can watch my videos to get a help for your school work.

*Relatable*

LOL same for me :-(

Sams

it si good that you didn't listen, it is just a stupit pattern, why we have to memorise something so stupid like that, why? we are like slaves who when send to chase a chiken.

Same😭

Same😫😩😤😭😢

same not the college part I agree American public schools 3 weeks its like lady do you not know some students don't get it in that long like omg

American schools are complete trash! I learned barely anything and I had good grades. After we learn a lesson we move on the next lesson in a day , so the kids who was still stuck on the first lesson will be stuck.

YEAH

You’ve never been a teacher huh? American school system is garbage... I’m sorry you had a bad experience but I promise you the majority of teachers you had worked their tails off. It is an under appreciated job that people love to trash... drives me insane

@@pat6696 Nobody forcing you to be a teacher especially if most kids are attending school and still struggling. The system and the way teachers teach need to be re-evaluated instead of the children because if the children aren't learning correctly they just get labeled as "slow" incompetent, behind etc. We are in the 2000's not the 1920's.

What inspirational words.

seesharper Amazing comment. School doesn't really teach you all you need to know; a lot you have to do on your own, unfortunately.

@@clark5317 Spot on. I will add that some basic skills needed for functioning as an independent adult used to be taught in high schools for generations and proved successful. Classes such as Home Economics, which included simple cooking techniques and measuring (math), to teaching how to balance a checkbook/account (math); basic mechanics (math) and drivers education which included distances in feet and yards for safe stopping behind other cars and safe accelerating onto highways in between cars, (math) and even how to safely change a tire. One math teacher even taught us how to count change back for a cash transaction, and at fouteen my very first official paying job was as a cashier. Students were expected to know basic math in thier heads for quick calculations. We were also taught civics, which would be government, and exactly how it (is supposed to) function including the origins of our type of government, (a republic). Which made for a more elightened populace, which is good for everybody. In general standards to be met were much higher and more was expected of us, therefore we learned to expect more of ourselves, and with that came personal responsibility and dignity. Now, if all that (and more) proved for successful basics, stop and think about why those things were removed from school curriculums, and how differently we function in society now compared to before...

Thank you so much, one of the best advices i've ever received 🥰

Thank you

Mee

I need him the MOST

Claude, that is great to hear. We are so glad it help you!

Help me please! 😭

Bro im 16 and i forgot most of the multiplication table 😔👊

Anneyeonghaseyo

Tanu Raval wtf?

@@eeeen3838 u dont understand korean?

Try using memory competitors skills:P

Study the table and get someone to test you on one eg. 6 times table, every day. In three months you’ll have cracked it. It’s all about practise

Leo Dragon my 1 year old self is happy, thank you

神秘違う 😊

Same

mckenzie thorton I'm in year 9 too but i am just revising

Good for you!

We

Here's a good way also, tell her to learn this and she will know that the last number is even or odd, Even x Even = Even, Odd x Odd = Odd and Even x Odd = Even

😮 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-x2Nr-f02AUY.htmlsi=1JOoHgP5Z_Yy8hIV 😮

Me too!!! I have dyscalculia, I'm 27 this year and never passes high school math, but figuring out why and how to overcome it with more practice is really helping!!

Wow

Same for me

That's all you really need to know. What is 9x4? Change the 9 to a 10. Then 10 x 4 is 40, then you -4 by 40 which is 36

Don't worry your not alone

Same

Also in grade six and i only know til 1 2 3 5 and 10 thats all!

65?! Wow u are old (not teasing)

@deepquake9 you are so grateful 😊

My dad did too😩🤧😬

"i would let you play the computer any time if you tell me what 2 to 12 multiplication table"

Me to

My dad too 😭

I feel you man

Same here.

iLoveTurtlesHaha OK thank God someones the same

Vįper Gąming. Lol me too

Same...

Vįper Gąming. S oo what

17 here! Wish you the best.

24 still learning

true, you can also notice that the numbers on 9 times r different like 9x2= 18 and 9x3 is 27. You can really notice that if u have a multiolication table chart

thankyou for liking my comment the great course plus

Lady BooBear lol

Yo for 2:33 Look at the left numbers look its 9 876543210

😂

I ate and i ate then i was sick on da floor 8 x8 is sixty four

Omq Oreo Lol, you beat me to it

We are glad to hear your feedback, Tamika, and you are right it's never too late to learn!

you can get a help from my maths videos.

Army anneyoenghaseyo

Tanu Raval heyyy

I don’t know it either surprisingly I’m surviving

Literally me rn

Well did you learn them?

Update?

Oh I am kind of the same but I’m just grade 3 but can only memorize 1,2,3,4,5,7,10,11

Oh man

One thing to add to this, I halved the table and reversed it. eg I only need to learn 6x7 and know the reverse is the same 7x6. The trick for 5x tables is just halve it Also 11x tables is super quick too. it's just double.

right 👍👍👌👌👏👏💸💸💵💵📒📒📕📕📙📘📙📗📚📚📚📖📖📝📝

Exactly what I was thinking. They made me go through years of learning this when I could've just watched a 4 minute video XD

exactly im supposed to know them september 7th D:::

Bhavikh it is learned from every school

Bhavikh yup 📝✏️📖📖📖📖📖👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

hahahahaha

Evan K true

Evan K hahaha I am ALREADY DOING JOB

Because this is something kids are suppose to learn. We didn't get it down pat the first time round, it's cool, we'll get it now. XD

Evan K , i didn't find it to be the way you described . some may have trouble with comprehension . perhaps the reason for the delays in this lesson.

Good luck!

Good perseverence!!

My dad said the same thing xD

My mom said the same thing because were on quarantine

My dad said the same thing

Wishing you the best of luck

Me Too!

Same

i made it to grade 3 with no times table

Made it to my freshman year in COLLEGE without knowing my times table. ):

gabby mr what the hell ... how?

Use flash cards for the difficult ones and slowly remove them as you memorize them. Spend 1-2 hours per day working on them.

you are so beautiful

That is the same way I have A 0-9 multiplication test and I am scared

+Tiana Castro You don't need to memorize anything. Just understand the process of multiplication - that it is adding an number again and again ... a said number of times. 5 x 4 is 5 + 5 + 5... .... 4 times... Now, that's it. You don't need to memorize anything. There are calculators, tables and mobile phones in this world that will calculate it for you. Having said that... if you really feel like memorizing it... just do lots of problems with multiplications... and eventually it'll just fit in your brain subconsciously ... but believe me... there is no point memorizing anything. Understand the process and understand the use of such things. :) All the best

Same

Doctor D Ikr!! Those are the ones I really have to work on

It seems like it would probably be a good idea to do the same method he said to use with 3 and 4. That is, to practice counting 6, 12, 18, 24,... , then practice in order: 6 x 1 = 6, 6 x 2 = 12, 6 x 3 = 18,.... and after a while practicing them in a different order. This might be helpful. If there is difficulty in counting by 6's, 7's, or 8's, you could write down the numbers on cue cards in the beginning.

Both the 6x and 8x are just the 3x and 4x, but double the result/fact/product/answer

Thank you for watching and learning. 😆
