    Professor let me just start by saying I was crying before I found your video. I was so overwhelmed and stressed out! You made it so easy and the fact that you incorporated MONEY... It's like you unlock something in my brain. I'm so grateful to you I hope you live for at least 500 years so, you can keep teaching us ,we really need you!!
    Love THE STUDENT ❤️

    Lord I wish I had teachers like you. So in my 20s I tried to go through college I had lots of hopes and dreams.Howeverof my inability to get math down correctly I failed my 99 algebra twice causing me to have to withdraw from college. I thought I wasn't smart in math so I was pretty much like most Americans it's the labor force for me. After 20 years in the labor force my back couldn't take it anymore. My kids were grown so I decided to go back to college to see if I could finally achieve my dream of at least an associate degree. Once again I am in that dreaded math class, and I come upon my worst fear fractions and integers. I excelled at everything else. I stumble across your video and you just unlocked like my biggest stumbling block. So sir when I graduate I sincerely have you to thank. Now I am going to binge watch all your videos and turn my greatest fears of math into my greatest achievement. If I had had teachers like you 20 years ago I could have been living my best life so long ago, without the injured back.❤❤❤❤

    This may be a help to students . There are two simple rules to remember: When you multiply a negative number by a positive number then the product is always negative. When you multiply two negative numbers or two positive numbers then the product is always positive.

    If only such rules or processes were stipulated from the beginning some of us would have loved math but hated it so much coz of the inexperience of the teacher to simplify or have a different approach in making sure the student understands the concept. With all that said I'm working as a data analyst as much as I hated Math ,keep up the good work. Kudos to you ...

I am out of college now but I SO WISH I saw these videos when I had to take math courses because I STRUGGLED, STRUGGLED in math especially when it went beyond simple addition, subtraction, multiplication & division!!!! Watching your videos makes math easy & I find myself WANTING to tackle math equations. Thank you SO MUCH for your patience, caring & your easy methods of handling math!!!!! Now when I need to handle math issues, I have your videos to assist me in conquering them! Again, THANK YOU SO MUCH, God bless you!!!!! :-)

    Another simple way to handle negative numbers is as follows:
    1) When adding a negative, move left on the number line.
    2) When subtracting a negative, move right on the number line.
    This method provides an easy visual example for the student and aids in understanding an otherwise confusing lesson.

    • @stompthedragon4010
      @stompthedragon4010 8 месяцев назад

    Some people have trouble because + and - serve a dual function: 1) as numeral signs; and 2) as operational indicators. Perhaps a signless number should always be thought of as an absolute value.

( The answer is probably logical but I have to walk it through my brain) Your lessons are really helping me, but could you explain the logic regarding the rule in the multiplication and division?
