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.

So now I'm here trying to learn my multiplication table so I can retake the test and hopefully pass.

[@blackhawkX02]

You could remove 9 too, it's pretty easy actually because it repeats a pattern, every first number increases by ten, and every second number decreases by one, for example.... 9x1= 9 x2= 18 x3= 27 x4= 36 x5= 45 x6= 54 x7= 63 x8= 72 x9= 81 x10= 90 See how it increases from 10 to 20, 30, 40, 50, etc. and see how 9 decreases from 8 to 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, etc. the pattern "changes" only when it's x11= 99, but you can see it as if it was the beginning again, and an example of 9x1= 9, from there you can go on again.... x12= 108 x13= 117 x14= 126 etc, etc.

[@johnmacn]

I learned it a very different way, but I am very impressed with this version. I think with any student the hardest thing to overcome is not learning or memorizing the topic. It is the belief in oneself that you can do this. But it is a catch 22. You need a teacher that can teach you a part that you are convinced you will not learn, learn it, and that opens the door to your starting to understand, yes you can do. What surprises me is that in so many things I felt if someone else can do it, I can too, but in others I felt I could never do it. In 3rd grade I had a Math teacher that showed me the nines table. I figured out the other tables and all of a sudden began to do better in math. Still, I had a long way to go to have confidence in academic studies to know I can do it too. But that is what opened the door to me.

[@seizer61]

It's amazing to me how I actually learned my times tables watching this short video. I used this technique to teach my two sons as well! thank you! Too bad I cannot afford your book, surely I would put it to good use.

[@seesharper8913]

Any young kids reading this: You know that argument "When will I ever need this in the real world"? Forget algebra, forget geometry, forget calculus. Your basic math is more important than any type of math you will ever do(This is not to say the previously mentioned are unimportant). Unfortunately for me, and much of my generation, they stopped making basic stuff like your times table important(At least in my local area, not sure about everywhere else). Many of us grew up in the age of booming technology where we used all sorts of new technologies that were poured into educational funds for "innovation", and it made us handicapped by over-shadowing the basics. Hell, cursive writing for me was ignored after the 5th grade. A lot of us don't know our times tables, and our hand-writing is crap because we always typed things on computers. If you are young, get yourself to practice these things on your own time, even if your school isn't forcing you. It saves you so much time and effort when you move forward. Luckily for you guys, the internet if full of more information than it was when I was your age. You can literally learn anything if you turn Minecraft off for 30 minutes a day to teach yourself something -- even if it's just simply watching a video on KZbin.

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

[@suleskos.2743]

@@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 For The Video. I'm A Kid And I Still Struggle With This. I Struggled With Math In Middle School. Multiplication Is The Hardest And The Times Tables I Cannot Remember. 9's And 5's. But I Use My Multiplication Chart That Helps Me A Lot. I'm Not That Smart At Multiplication But My Mom Helps Me With Math Every Day. And I Agree With You 100% Because Some People Have Hard Times With Multiplication And They Cannot Seem To Remember What The Answers Are. When I Was In Middle School I'd Always Struggle With Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, Division, And Fractions. I Would Guess On Answers And Not Pay Attention In Class. The Teacher Always Helped Me Because I Never Put The Right Answers. But Now In High School It Is The Same Thing. We Do Multiplication And Subtraction. I Struggle With Multiplication Because I Can't Remember What The Answers Are. But Subtraction Is What I Struggle With Too Because Of Borrowing And Regrouping. So For Example: 751-215 I Would Be Confused And That's Tricky. But Another Number 310- 235 That's Also Tricky. But Math Is Not Easy For Most People Like Me Even Though I'm Good At Math And It's Hard. I Always Keep Trying And Never Give Up. But Thank You For Showing Me The Video And Explaining In The Video About The Times Tables.

[@intergalacticraisins8985]

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.

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

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

[@craigsmith8075]

This worked really well with our daughter who was struggling with her tables. Breaking it down into small chunks and realsiing she already knew most of the answers already was a huge help. Thank you!

[@TheGreatCourses]

We

[@enriqueiii9209]

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

[@evank7858]

Why do all of the basic math tutorials talk to me like I'm 6? I'M A GROWN MAN.

[@azuzajones6654]

hahahahaha

[@dianaalvarado1892]

Evan K true

[@Iateachildtwice]

Evan K hahaha I am ALREADY DOING JOB

[@iLoveTurtlesHaha]

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

[@chadholloway6500]

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.

[@dumbmea7102]

Iam 19 💀💀 and today i decided to learn math from the basics , am glad that am not the only one who's old and yet not really good in multiplication

[@peterbulloch4328]

I'm 57yrs old and learnt the times table the old fashioned way at school by our teachers by repetition and memory. The one thing I remember was and I don't know if it was by design or not but it became a competitive type thing between the boys (don't know about the girls) to be able to recite your times table. Not wanting to be left out you would actually practice or "study" them so as not to be left out of the gang so to speak, there was no bullying if you didn't know them but I remember feeling good about knowing them off by heart. I can't remember the teachers holding competitions for this at all just constant repetitive practise.

[@Sea-jo1pm]

Wow

[@chloerabbitheart3129]

Just found out i have dyscalculia i certainly get depressed that some of my friends can solve multiplication in the back of their heads while i have to struggle for a while and count with my fingers i just hope that i can finally learn the basics and start learning math properly

[@Ellie_37]

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!!

[@rainydays9400]

This evening my 8 years old son ask me about multiplication and i only remember until 3 😂😂 i need to memorise this for him, so that i can teach him.

[@Suspazzout]

Well did you learn them?

[@denissanchez3893]

Great video! I'm here for my 9 year old daughter. Back in 3rd grade thered was a 60 second test to get a prize. It consisted of answering 2x2 thru 2x10; 3x3 thru 3x10; 4x4 thru 4x10 etc, not repeating the same table twice all the way to 10x10. (for example 5x8 also covered 8x5). I got a new toy! Try it, its not easy.

[@smallfootprint2961]

My daughter says she has trouble with basic math, and I could teach it, but she's hard to teach, so I offer. As much as we moved around, I always loved learning. It was so exiting to get something. Keeping it simple is key to my way of teaching/learning. When the "new math" came in, it got complicated. Not good, and not really helpful. Not only learn by memory, but lots of tricks.

[@sophie.is.wierds.i.w3240]

In order to watch this video,i had to choose between "Playing games" or "watching some math to make me better". I made such a good choice :)

[@mckenziethorton8725]

I'm in year 9 currently revising for my maths and science mocks and I didn't know my 9 times table. Whilst watching this I wrote down the 9 times table and added the numbers to equal to nine, then within seconds I said the 9 times table extremely fast! I'm so happy now.

We had one week to memorize the multiplication table in 3rd grade. Easy peasy! They need to go back to teaching like they did before new math of the early 70s.

[@radhahall541]

I'm in middle school and I still have a problem memorizing my numbers soo this didn't really help cause I try it ALL the time .-.

Try using memory competitors skills:P

[@LeoDragon34]

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

This is awesome. What a genius! Thank you so much for sharing. Wish I would've thought about this before but it's never to late to learn. :)

Wishing you the best of luck

[@big4headedGangster]

I notice most of us are 16, the age where you get serious about your future. But then realize that you don't even know basic maths. It's ok, you can do it. Take your time & be consistent with your learning. No shame in this. 💖

[@fago9546]

17 here! Wish you the best.

[@MegaDemonDANTE]

24 still learning

[@Knowledgeovergrades]

This is very true. We only need to focus on part of the table because the rest are easier to remember. I just made a video on the multiplication rules we can forget once we learn them, plus hand tricks that will help us come up with multiplication facts 6-10 quickly and easily.

[@parisscully2228]

the 9 fact BLEW my mind!! it really is so simple yet ive been struggling for years. Thank you.

[@2DebbieDoo]

WOW! After having learned these facts the "old fashioned way," by doing the timed test repeatedly until I knew them all, I am stunned at how many different tricks there are! Why didn't our teachers years ago teach US like this?? lol Thanks so much for sharing!!

As someone who still hasn't memorized the entire times tables makes me feel like a idiot. My dad constantly keeps telling me when he was my age he was basically better then me at everything. It just gets me so demotivated to actually take the time needed to learn them since I know its important. This really helped me.

[@blueplasma5589]

I,m 66 and needed this lesson (and reading the face of the analog clock) in French Catholic grammar school. Oh how my life and self confidence would of been greatly healthier! At times I would work the tables as you explain with Flash Cards . This clearly explains the process. My spelling has gotten better at this age,. lol
