Because you are too distracted in class when the teacher is trying to teach or the teacher has her mind occupied by other students doing disruptive things. When you are watching a video, you are watching in peace with the intention to learn. No offence to the person explaining but I am sure all teachers try their best, you students just fail to acknowledge that hard work.

[@sarahmelgoza]

This man has been a life saver for me. My daughter does online learning and this man makes things so much easier to understand than any teacher or videos I’ve ever watched. Thank you so much for what you do.

I totally agree . I’m not why teachers at school don’t use this method. Also, nowadays you have to know a software to put in the numbers, upload docs., close the task, update the assignment. It has nothing to do with the math

[@woodie3030]

Thank you so much! I missed a couple days at school and I was a little afraid to ask for help. This is an absolute life saver, and very easy to comprehend (I have a lot of issues understanding math, but this was easy and didn't make me want to burst into frustrated tears) 10/10 video, plus a subscriber :D

[@sofiamariewyatt]

Same! I got Covid and it's the third week of horizons (A super hard curriculum that really smart kids can go to in my county) and just started math and I'm working with percentiles, which no one ever thought me before. My teacher sent me this video, and when he did question 1, I was like "Now I understand!"

[@kiwiaxolotl7784]

Because I always need extra time on tests because of my ADD, I miss the first class of most math lessons where they teach the important parts and basics of the next unit. In the percents unit, I didn't know what I was doing because I missed the first class, turns out I'm pretty good at percents, and I only had to watch a video :')

[@FinnIsSleepy]

I still don’t get it

[@_Squeaks]

@@FinnIsSleepy Ok so if it's 75% of 20 you times them which is 1500. You can fit 15 hundreds right? So your answer is 15. If it's a whole ten number like 60% you do times 1.6 if it's 50% you do times 1.5 and 10% is times 1.1
