So glad this exists, hands down BEST class I've Never taken

[@moosic7249]

I just watched this video in my 8th grade algebra class loll me and my friends were losing it

[@yaymath]

Toon Link Hi Mr. or Miss Link! Can you please introduce me to your teacher? I'd love to e-meet him or her. Thank you!

[@moosic7249]

yaymath her email is [e-mail] and her name is Mrs Timberman . Just say you were the guy in the quadratic formula vid that she showed us (She also said you were very wierd lol)

[@misss7096]

yaymath WHY MY TEACHER NO TEACH LIKE DISH?!

[@joshuaclinton1104]

Phoenix is awesome I wish mine did as well

[@kristyysc]

if only my teacher was this excited about teaching math

[@misss7096]

Kristy Cheung...I'm with you. My teacher's daily math teaching routine. One enter class and every body acts innocent. Two teacher teaches in the most boring way ever in the universe. Three...SUMS! What the heck?! How am I supposed to learn this way?!

[@stevegiroux2]

My math world exists on computer these days

[@mirandahankins6890]

hi! attempting to go to college after 14 years out of school and forgetting everything I ever learned in math class. you are an awesome teacher!

[@saniyaj4631]

I just wanna say, teachers like him are absolutely awesome. You could see he really has a connection with his students and actually makes an effort to make it entertaining and comfortable. This is what a math learning environment should look like!

[@yaymath]

Thank you for your kindness.

[@yellowscorpion100]

I wish I had this teacher.

[@almightycorydon4]

well you dont

[@rodrickharbin414]

Corydon Croomes RT suck em up den shit

[@steffier.2533]

Honestly the way he teaches is really good, my teacher explained this and I had no clue what she's talking about but he made it all clear for me #teachergoals

[@kaylennesbitt8737]

I so agree my teacher did the same thing. #teacher goals

[@tejara01]

Steffie R I'm guessing your teacher gave up on trying to inspire. Math is just steps, everything has a system; you can literally learn anything :)

[@thabisomarumo4241]

i wish i had this teacher....man i would pass every math test with my eyes closed while singing the yaymathsong

[@rachel117951]

Maybe if I had teachers/professors more like this I would've actually enjoyed math throughout high school/college. I am just now having to begin taking math and these videos have helped me remember how to apply skills that were previously taught to me in a painfully boring/stressful environment.

[@user-nr6pu6ex3i]

12:25 😭🤣 imagine if the principal walked innnnn

[@aayusharyal1484]

Holy

[@aayusharyal1484]

This guy must twerk in front of camera

[@sparecar8212]

I needed to study math over the holidays because if I didn't get a head start I'd be miserable. I looked at the math curriculum and problems online and started tearing up and realised I had a problem so I looked up math anxiety and came across your TEDtalk. ABSOLUTE LIFESAVER! I actually understand things and don't feel like a failure anymore! I was getting worried that I'd suck so badly at math I'd not be able to get the careers I wanted.

[@ladyb10sp]

This man has a unique way of presenting algebra which I can understand better than the dry books. Thank you.

[@sharkjez502]

Am watching this in 2022,, you're the best maths teacher I have come across,pretty amazing

[@johnhenderson274]

It's really awesome that there are teachers in the world like you!

[@XXluvinlifXX]

In my math III honors class the other day a kid was completely lost on what we were doing and our teacher, who feels that because we are honors student she shouldn't have to really explain things to us dismissively told him, "Go home and look up the unit on Khan Academy." And, I being the loud mouth helpful person I am shouted, "NO! GO TO YAY MATH ON KZbin!" He listened to me. He is no longer lost in class.

[@ohhpurifyz7414]

Khan Academy is good too xD

[@abhijitprasad736]

but sleepy too

[@palmbearoftexas2007]

abhijit prasad Haha, most certainly, I prefer this awesome mathematician than the other.

[@starman9976]

Piyas Life what did they ever do to you that made you go and leave such a rude comment?

[@piyajii]

Starman997 wait I am having a panic attack. When the hell was I on a math video and wtf did I leave a mean comment on a math video. Wtf

[@Dabadabadoobie]

Learn it now kids! It's the exact same stuff in College!

[@MeteoMat]

here in brazil ull learn tht in the 8th grade

[@VanillaDazzle]

teh BOX You'd be surprised how many fields need this stuff, but I guess if you want to be a waiter/ress or bartender you don't.

[@VanillaDazzle]

teh BOX Really? You said when one finishes "collage" they will wonder when they need this. Well, most jobs that one goes to college for, you need math.

[@VanillaDazzle]

teh BOX Anything science related (nurse, doctor, lab tech, Occupation Therapist, Physical Therapist, Speech therapy, engineering etc) Anything business related (financial analyst, accountant, sales, business analyst etc) Teaching elementary school Social workers could need it for research... Computer programming and IT basically every job that everyone I know who went to college has, needs math... Plus 2 other points: with your spelling and grammar, you better be good at math and math also develops your brain behind the scene for critical thinking and problem solving. This is why any employer would want you if you go into advanced math studies.

[@VanillaDazzle]

I guess if you want to live with your parent until you're in your 30s or even 40s... jobs that don't require math are low paying, usually and they require strong writing and communications skill usually. You and teh BOX don't seem to know how to spell. Please tell me what you guys do or plan to do that doesn't require math or English and pays a living wage? Bartender? Stripper? Well then you don't need any college but there's an early retirement for a lot of those jobs that pay well without actual skills. Unless you can manage to get a union job but most of them require math skills.

[@michaelward5645]

I'm a little embarrassed to say this, but I'm 46 years old and just returned to school. It seems that I'm actually understanding this!!! (embarrassed by my age, not that I'm understanding!) The students asking questions seems to be helpful as well. Thank you!!!

[@kdaniel8721]

I graduated high school in 1968, but have been tutoring my grandson through his high school math. Your videos have been great for me to relearn old tricks, in order to help him.

[@lostsoul3748]

I died at 1:55; that sneeze tho!!!!

[@alexandraburge2689]

Thank you so much for making this video, I am trying to take and online math class with no teacher at all. Your videos have been a blessing. I hope your students realize how blessed they are to have a teacher like you.

[@justaman7745]

The excitement of students tells he is very enthusiastic about teaching maths. I live in London, 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 and his videos gives me more confidence. Very good teacher.

[@justinscott7060]

I learn so much with this guy and I'm in college

[@donnafoster1632]

I'm 53 and I had completely forgotten about the Completing the square" solution. I only remembered Quadratic expression or formula. Thanks yaymath

[@Leafling2023]

I like the way you teach, very fun. Now if there is a physics teacher like you on KZbin my life would be so much easier learning and understanding it. :)

[@Leafling2023]

I need to show your videos to my sister

[@saraharora89]

Try Crash Course! Just search crash course physics, it is so helpful!

[@alexsanga6409]

You are my teacher now since I starting follow you on KZbin you make me more understand thanks

[@Imawildflower75]

43 years old and back in college... I JUST learned the quadratic formula by heart with this story in less than a minute!!!! I have heard every song about it and they never rhymed or made sense. THANK YOU!!!!

[@deenuy]

Jen Cordova wow!! You have inspired me. 35 yrs old. Getting back to college this summer 2019.

[@tommyurso1811]

what you do for these kids....remarkable. we need educators like this in Las Vegas badly

[@anamaria9908]

I seriously wish I had a math teacher like you. I understand everything way better the way you explain it. Thank you so much for helping all of us confused people out here!

[@RogerCorley]

-- One of my biggest life regrets was not discovering my love for math while in high school. I had horrible teachers that loved to embarrass and shame students. It was VERY discouraging to walk into their classrooms every day, knowing you didn't have the answers they wanted ... because they didn't properly teach you to find them. I took Algebra five ... that's 5 ... times in college before I met a teacher that taught visually and made the subject fun. I would always make it to the Quadratic Formula section of Algebra and withdraw because I just didn't get it. Because of his approach, I not only understood Algebra but went on to have the second highest grade in the class. I SO WISH I would have had a teacher like this guy! It's amazing how easy and fun math can be when you have a teacher possessing an obvious love for math and the students. GREAT TEACHERS CAN CHANGE THE WORLD!! Thank you for everything you do! --

[@vanessareyes8857]

You're an AMAZING teacher!! Thank you so much for posting these lectures. I'm taking college algebra, in college, and my professor doesn't teach. We just work and learn from the book. I wish you were my teacher, you're so funny, and handsome! 👌🏽😊

[@user-lx3wb9kj7n]

00:32 Quadratic formula and factoring method explained. 04:32 The quadratic formula helps find solutions to equations. 07:43 Using the quadratic formula to solve the equation. 11:06 Factoring is the quickest method for solving quadratic equations. 14:32 Understanding and applying the quadratic formula. 18:12 Understanding the Quadratic Formula 20:34 Adding and subtracting radical expressions 24:05 Solving the quadratic formula timestamps which helped me alot!

[@joshuaryu1791]

his creative, and hilarious moments remind me of my 6th grade teacher :)

[@attawbah17]

ravioli ravioli give me the formuoli

[@kristophermanzo]

I cant stop laughing at this comment its just 2 good 5 me

[@JooJingleTHISISLEGIT]

+Kristopher Manzo *3 good 5 me

[@kristophermanzo]

i couldnt care less

[@waterproof4403]

this is amazing the students are so lucky they had good memories of math classes

[@danny2m12]

Please.....!!!! Give this guy a medal.... I hold two Degrees, one of them in Electronics Engineering . And I hate to admit that my college professors were never this fun to work with.

[@kaylahogue9488]

YayMath... where have you been all my life? I quit college because there was no Yay in my math! I decided to try again cuz it was the only credit I need for my associates and I was going to fail but I thought maybe youtube had someone who makes since of this #$%* and you +Yay to my Math! Thank you SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much for the videos

[@donnafoster1632]

What was your final grade?

[@richardm423]

I absolutely love your style of teaching. It is very thorough and very understanding. Thank you.

[@angellalusk482]

I needed this instructor, educator, and teacher all my life. Where has he been. He is very helpful, simply amazing.

[@hansmorris4896]

You are the best Maths teacher. My history/geography teacher only spends 5/60 mins actually teaching and 55/60 mins telling other stuff and everyone gets 90% and above.

[@vanessavejas9357]

You are a exceptional teacher! Your students are so lucky to have you as a teacher! I'm brushing up on my math skills for CSET and you've been a great help!!

[@nancyolmos8061]

PASSED my math class with an A thanks to these videos!!! FOREVER grateful for this, and thank you for your passion for math. YAY MATH!! never thought i'd say that.

[@WolF911x]

I love comedian + Good teachers makes u concentrate and understand rather than serious teachers from the first minute until last minute of the class! Keep it up yaymath!

[@madds8005]

I've learned more in this video than I have in my whole semester of Math 3.... If only my school had good math teachers like this

[@crystald7451]

Hey! I wanted to say Thank you so much! I'm in college algebra currently this Fall Semester and my teacher is really hard to learn from. She skips steps and doesn't explain what she's doing half the time. Most nights, I leave the classroom totally lost. But, since I've been watching your videos, I've gotten 96% on my first two tests. Thank you very much, I'd be literally failing without you and that can't happen when you're applying to the Nursing program. Thanks for doing this for us, you're honestly helping tons of people! :)

[@shanijayzz32]

I am in college algebra also. My teacher explains and he also over explains. So I am not really sure of myself at times but with practice I feel that I am getting better. Good Job! I would love to get a 96% on my test!

[@jasoncintron1931]

As soon as I heard the boy story the quadratic formula was burned into my mind forever. Awesome.

[@MrDupperman]

YOU ARE BY FAR ONE OF THE GREATEST PEOPLE I EVER MET.IM 42 AND BACK IN SCHOOL YOU ARE FANTASTIC.I HAD TO TAKE THE SAME MATH CLASS TWICE. SINCE I MET YOU I THINK I MIGHT EVEN FURTHER MY DEGREE.

[@tommypitcher3011]

You are a great teacher, I wish I had you for math in high school:-) Your kids will always remember you for years to come. Great work, Great Job!

[@emmarogan1897]

I love this guy so much!!He made my 76 go up to a 92 in ONE grading period!!!He makes it so easy for me to concentrate,especially when he throws some jokes in (i loved the one about the escalator to heaven the most lmao)Bless this man!

[@sparklelight]

I like when teachers make math fun, lightens the head and can think in the balance

[@timothyisa9010]

Wow this is great I wish I had a teacher like this Yaymaths is the best and standard understandable way of teaching I love this

[@katieharris1943]

why cant i be in this class???

[@waterproof4403]

I feel you

[@stdDizzasTeR]

I wish if i was in your class, I'm sure that today my algebra won't suck this much as it is now, but asI started to watch your videos I'm really happy that someone is there to whom I can listen to all the time about the topic with fun, laughter... and better understanding, hopefully I will do good for my Math exam on 13th Oct. 2014 Thank you!

[@sammeadows8788]

These videos are the only reason I passed my Midterms and Finals. Thank you so much!

[@dc4474]

Here I am, almost 2018 and using your videos to study for my Math CSET. Thank very much Yaymath, I hope to be as good a high school math teacher as you. The kids have fun in your class and also respect you, it creates a great learning environment. Thanks once again. PS i don't know how anyone can speak negatively about your videos. They are the same boring teachers that sound like the Clear-eyes commercial. Also the story behind the quadratic formula helped me remember it. LOL

[@palmbearoftexas2007]

Hi, just wanting to tell you that your videos are fun, transparent, and very helpful! It's Thanksgiving break for me and I have some assignments over solving quadratics and these are definitely helping me for when I wasn't quite understanding it all in class last week. Thanks!

[@rebekahbrittsan5309]

Fantastic way to learn an intimidating subject - entertaining and light! Yay Math!

[@mas1s9gn]

I am a second year MBA student in Cal State Northridge and still come back to these videos from time to time. Thank you so much for your awesome videos!

[@wrweb9541]

Love your videos. They're helping me refresh this material before moving on to calculus. Thank you!!

[@goodvibes.9956]

I'm definitely about to do good on this test. My confidence has been boosted so much. Thank you so much, this was actually fun. YAYMATH!!

[@ldg3047]

Hey Sir! Hands down and thumbs up for you! I'm a 9th grader right now and all of us in our class had a hard time understanding Quadratics, I always had the lowest score during quizzes but you changed that! Thanks so much!!

[@BohemianBehind]

He's so good with the kids! I wish I had a teacher like him.

[@Thornshock]

You are literally the same person as my history teacher in the energy department; you're great! Love the videos :D

[@vicki5044]

I love how u told da story, about the boy. I can remember the formula now. In we are doing quad formulas now.

[@rolexify]

Awesome! I love your positive energy and love the concept about the - square boy who missed out at the party to remember the quadratic formula.

[@AeroscytheVideos]

Thank you for explaining and making sense what my professors never could!

[@mahdereassefa]

THIS TEACHER IS THE BEST!! this video is so helpful because the teacher really knows how to explain things and also kinda funny! like when he started dancing lol!

[@LandonHughes2]

Good going, Drake! I wish I had you as a teacher. I have a proficiency test for Math 112 (intermediate algebra) that I'm hoping to opt out of. So, I'm reviewing:)

[@christofergarcia135]

My Army recruiter was making fun of me cause I tend to overthink stuff and ever since Ive been studying for my ASVAB test I gotta say he is prob. the best teacher I can watch on youtube and he is deff not as boring as many others man, I love this guy!

[@MsNatalieSophia]

Your videos are beyond amazing and help me out so much!! You're funny and you really know how to explain things well! I literally wish I went to your school so that you'd be my math teacher! Thank you soooo much for all the help!

[@CluelessEngineer]

The kids in this class are so cringy. 😂

[@isaacmalsch635]

Project DIY when they get something wrong it just makes me learn more 😂

[@joshwhitaker5453]

As a professional educator, I can safely say that they are pretty much just regular middle school kids. Maybe you were way cooler in middle school, but my money would be on not 😂

[@nancypoppens6310]

Thank you for caring about children! I understand that is the focus of Yaymath, but I wanted to let you know how much I, a 49 yr old woman returning to school, appreciate your videos. I did not understand math in school and avoided algebra by taking accounting and business math classes. In order to get my degree, I need algebra and statistics. Because of you and your videos, I am no longer terrified of math!

[@lorrieherrera3411]

I'm 47 and going to college for the 1st time.....and this is what taught me the quadratic formula!!! So very cool!!! Keep up the great teaching!!

[@harshrakesh4457]

Decent way ,friendly atmosphere inculcates the maths knowledge in the students mind. Thank you Sir.
