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.

[@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.

[@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.

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.

I’m 56yrs old and always had problems with maths . I scored maximum of 15% when I was in school in my maths exams. Recently diagnosed with having Dyscalculia. I just happen to come across your lesson . Made sense and I hope this will help me because not being on top of my maths has really killed my self confidence and stopped me looking for another job . I’ve been in this toxic & negative filled job for 30yrs - I need to get out !

[@Bhavikh]

Haha! Why don't they teach this in every school?

[@Meenalena06]

right 👍👍👌👌👏👏💸💸💵💵📒📒📕📕📙📘📙📗📚📚📚📖📖📝📝

[@AhnastasiaRose]

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

[@miapxoxo]

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

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 :)

[@ilnjsm]

I really have to watch this everyday to keep all this in my head to remember

[@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?

[@andizzz5649]

Update?

[@Sea-jo1pm]

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

[@Sea-jo1pm]

Oh man

[@Prisuver]

In my class everyone knows their time tables and are moving on to harder stuff and I'm here only knowing my 1,2,5,10,11 I'm in 6th grade btw. Edit: 7th grade now and I still don't know ;v; I somehow made it lmao

[@ellaanddarinjensen-kane430]

Same for me

[@kale8417]

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

[@tatyanapricetp]

gabby mr what the hell ... how?

[@jaybestnz]

This is insane. How much cooler would this have been to learn this way?!

[@jaybestnz]

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.

[@stuartkingma7351]

He missed the easiest part about the 9X tables. First digit, count forwards by 1 (starting at 0), second digit, count backwards from 9 (starting at 9) 09, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72, 81, 90

[@micheller2455]

Mom : go learn your time tables . Me: ok waches vidieo

When I was learning my times tables I was pulled out of my school to a new school, they already learned times tables :-: I still to this day only know my 1-5 and 10 but this video helped me a ton tysm!

[@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

[@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!!

[@SuperStarLike]

In this one video I FINALLY learned my multiplication tables to perfection! Thank you. ^_^

[@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

[@rosemarie7816]

Why in the name of all that's holy didn't they teach us this way in school?!?! 😨 I struggled so damn bad and my self esteem suffered so badly because I couldn't memorize multiplication tables that I just completely gave up on school. I'm 45 and finally in college (chose a degree I didn't need math for, because of this) and now I find this looking for a way to help my son. Every teacher on the planet should make it this easy!

[@kirboifyisme]

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 .-.

[@tibianelnair8714]

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

[@kirboifyisme]

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

[@LeoDragon34]

[@JeanneBook]

I memorized this in grade school then highschool I didn't listen to any classes so now gotta go back to the basics and learn up.

[@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!!

[@laurachevrette8060]

I wish I had this when I was learning multiplication. I can't wait to teach my kids this!!

[@mindyhooper4698]

Fours can be easy too, just double answers for times 2 (easier if you have you addition facts memorized too). Example- if it's 4 x 6 then think of 2 x 6=12 and then double it and it's your answer to 4 x 6 =24. For 4 x 9, think 2 x 9=18, doubled is 36 and so on. If you get fours memorized you can then do the same for multiples of 8. Example- 8 x 6, think 4 x 6=24, doubled is 48 and so on.

[@sissyrayself7508]

I used to always hate Math, but this was knida fun! seeing patterns makes it make sense.

[@amysmith531]

this is a really good video i am a child in year 6 i struglled on my times tables until i found this video it really does help thankyou for sharing what you know

[@amysmith531]

thankyou for liking my comment the great course plus

[@gtaltaccount8120]

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.

[@eriksniped5111]

Dont woryy guys Im 22 and still learn

[@reddragon4482]

This is brilliant. Learning the shortcuts really helps when you are in a pinch. I remember working a customer sales job before and people laughing at me because I got change wrong, I never want to go back to that again, not for them but for me. It's never too late :-)

[@ratherbfishing455]

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.

[@dj_jamfu91]

Amazing!!! Its mad how were never shown this during school years!!!

[@tamikaoliver2043]

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. :)

[@yutubl]

Great and easy memorizable system! I wished I got explenation when I visiting elementary school. Now I am 60 already knowing that table, telling this really smart way.

[@earnestto]

We Chinese memorize the multiplication table by "9 time table song" (《九因歌》) since childhood. This "9 times table song" has been invented 2000 years ago. It is very useful and that's why we Chinese can tell you the result of any multiplication less than 100 almost at once. My daugther learned "9 time table song" at six. 《九因歌》 一一如一、一二如二、一三如三、一四如四、一五如五、 一六如六、一七如七、一八如八、一九如九、一乘十得一十 二一如二、二二如四、二三如六、二四如八、二五得一十、 二六一十二、二七一十四、二八一十六、二九一十八、二乘十得二十 三一如三、三二如六、三三該九、三四一十二、三五一十五、 三六一十八、三七二十一、三八二十四、三九二十七、三乘十得三十 四一如四、四二如八、四三一十二、四四一十六、四五中二十、 四六二十四、四七二十八、四八三十二、四九三十六、四乘十得四十 五一如五、五二得一十、五三一十五、五四中二十、五五二十五、 五六中三十、五七三十五、五八中四十、五九四十五、五乘十得五十 六一如六、六二一十二、六三一十八、六四二十四、六五中三十、 六六三十六、六七四十二、六八四十八、六九五十四、六乘十得六十 七一如七、七二一十四、七三二十一、七四二十八、七五三十五、 七六四十二、七七四十九、七八五十六、七九六十三、七乘十得七十 八一如八、八二一十六、八三二十四、八四三十二、八五中四十、 八六四十八、八七五十六、八八六十四、八九七十二、八乘十得八十 九一如九、九二一十八、九三二十七、九四三十六、九五四十五、 九六五十四、九七六十三、九八七十二、九九八十一、九乘十得九十

I wish he went into more details with the 6, 7, and 8 tables.

[@mysticbold2000]

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

[@renewd]

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.

[@DJKav]

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

[@sudhakarshetty6885]

I taught I was the only one not to remember multiplication table at this age...but there are so many people

[@Brandon-ig9hc]

Start with increments of 5 and then add them together visualization helps to do 5 Start with 2 numbers repeat them like 1 2 1 2 1 2 for a minute then 1 2 3 then 4 5 and 12345 if you do it enough you'll get it
