Multiplication and division

Hi

Sounds terrifying and amazing. Nature knows how to show beauty and feaf😰😧

I'm sure that the literal "hands on" helps reinforce understanding. Nice!

Cool

It's weird

The Maya are so fascinating

The more I listen the more I understand, the maya made it easier

que chulada!

drink chamomille tea

Thank you! Now I can finish my homework without difficulty.

Gyles. Hi from Valleyview. -30 here today and I wish I was in Belize. Dan

😁😁😁

That's how I count money, using 5's and 20's

I am asking permission to use your video for my report on my class. thank you.

How would you do .05 Cents?

VERY USEFULL

I'm 6

Hi I love you and your books very much. I have read all your books. Now I'm waiting for the jaguar stones 5 Please write please Best wishes Your reader from turkey🇹🇷🇹🇷

POV your teacher sent u here but its very interesting

thank you! your video really helped me with my project!

We are waiting for THE JAGUAR STONES 5

It sounds like my boyfriend when he's asleep

Watch out for the leopard!

You can use this to cheat on your math test.

The best explanation.

Thank you so much. Very helpful video.

Fantastic video. Very well explained, and I loved learning this about the Mayans. If you have anything else to share in the future, please do!

i am heyr cus of school😎😁😎😅😎😎

Duuuuuuude Dying Light!!!

The Hindu-Arabic equivalent of 7850 in base-20 is IBA.

i'd be afraid to sleep with all that sound all around me

Wooow it’s amazing and I love it thanks so much

Now divide!

Math can break bones confirmed

I’ve finished reading Middleworld Book one and it was so good. This video is so cool because I could actually see what Max and Lola saw. And I just think it’s crazy😆

i only got book 1 i want book 2 and book 3 these books are real nice thank u to the authords they should make a movie of those :D

I finish this book now. And I'm really sorry that this book is finished. OMG I'm crying. Thank youu the authors. :))

The first anthropology class I that I ever took was Anthropology 4003 with Heather McKillop in the fall semester of 1993. When I knew her, Dr. McKillop was a wonderful lecturer and a steady researcher. However, she had zero couth and lousy people skills, perhaps a result of her laser sharp focus on her research. I was an undergrad, a junior, taking a senior / graduate level course that covered the ancient Central and South American civilizations. Because I was not an anthropology major, I was not at all familiar with many of the basic anthropological concepts that we covered in the class. Even though I didn't neglect assignments or miss class, I felt like I had to play catch up for most of the semester for this particular course in anthropology. However, the workload was manageable: In addition to the mid-term and the final, we were required to present on a journal article and also to write a 10-15 page paper on some aspect of the ancient Central and South American civilizations. It was this paper that gave me so much trouble. I decided to write on the Maya bloodletting ritual, a topic that I’d never heard of and a topic for which there was a paucity of information. Remember that this was 1993, so the internet was in its extreme infancy. There was no Google, Google Scholar, or even Wikipedia. Writing the paper was like trying to build a sand castle in the middle of Manhattan - no sand anywhere. I struggled to find information on my topic, so the finished product was a jumble of disjointed ideas crudely sown together into a Frankenstein of a paper. Those nine pages contained more anecdotes, rambling ideas, and loose associations than any factual information. I very distinctly remember writing this one line that apparently did not sit well with Dr. McKillop: "There appear to be similarities between the Maya and Greek pantheons." I must have hit a nerve because when I received my graded term paper, Dr. McKillop had written in large angry letters: "THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO EVIDENCE THAT THE ANCIENT GREEKS HAD ANY CONTACT WITH THE ANCIENT MAYA! WHERE ARE YOU GOING WITH THIS?" When I saw the comment, I thought: "Chill, lady. You're obviously reading way too deeply into this." But, she achieved her goal of making me feel less than adequate. Consequently, I still have this term paper, and after having earned several post baccalaureate degrees, including a doctorate, Dr. McKillop's comments still annoy the dog shit out of me. She just had a way of communicating in no uncertain terms that she was not interested in knowing any of her students, unless of course they could help with her research. She definitely preferred anthropology majors over non-anthropology majors. Dr. McKillop also had a well deserved reputation for being cliquish, which I experienced firsthand. And because she was cliquish, her students were also cliquish. Monkey see, monkey do, you know? Her TA was a grad student named Brad Ensor (now Dr. Bradley Ensor of Eastern Michigan University). Ensor looked like a very young, clean cut, and tightly wound Indiana Jones: his standard uniform included starched and pressed blue jeans, work boots, a starched and pressed denim shirt, and a denim jacket (for the colder months). He was just as awkward, disinterested, and unhelpful as Dr. McKillop, yet classmates often vied for Brad's approval, hoping that they could then weasel into Dr. McKillop's good graces. This class was more like junior high than a senior/graduate level course. At the end of the semester, Dr. McKillop had a special "treat" for all of us: After the last lecture of the semester, she hosted a soiree for us in the atrium of the Howe-Russell Geoscience Complex. I didn't go, of course, because I saw no need to spend time with people who made it very clear that they were not the least bit interested in knowing anyone but Heather McKillop. (If I wanted to be ignored, I'd just go hang out on Chimes Street). When I knew Dr. McKillop, she'd been teaching five, maybe six years, so balancing her teaching load with her research agenda was obviously very challenging. However, this does not excuse her behavior and hopefully she's outgrown it. There is no value in giving students the impression that you don't care about them, and too often this was the impression that Heather McKillop made.

The best and least traumatic explanation I have found. Thank you very much for sharing. I’ll be sure to use this method when teaching ☺️

Merci beaucoup, je suis un étudiant (français) préparant le concours de professeur d'école et votre vidéo bien qu'elle soit en anglais m'a permis de rapidement comprendre la numération maya. Merci pour cette très bonne vidéo

Very interesting! I knew the mayan numerals but no idea how to add and substract. An idea to how to deal with fractions?

Excellent. Just what I needed. My only criticism, a small one, is that it would have been clearer if you had said 20 plus 15 plus 1 =36, rather than 20, 35, 36 (I finally caught on, but it was a distraction). Oh, one more thing: Do you agree with so many others on KZbin that the Mayans used intersecting lines to multiply? My contention is that the intersecting line method is Japanese (I somehow remember that it was invented by a particular Japanese mathematician, but I'm not going to check on that). What do you think? Did the Mayans multiply by drawing lines? If not, what method did they use?

jaguarstones is the best book ever ı love Max and Lola very much that you can understand just looking my name...;)))

Respect is all I have for you sir. my family is from mexico, my brother in law from guatemala. for many people of these places the information is lost, torn away. I have to use the Japanese abacus because I cannot find someone to teach me these ancient mayan secrets. to see you do these ancient movements brings me so much joy knowing the information is still out there somewhere. much respect to you.

Thanks this was really helpful! At first I couldn't figure out how to make a 100 using Mayan math but then I realized that 5 x 20 = 100 lol :/.

This video Really helps me on my math project! good job!
