I can totally relate. I'm 43 and I never liked school. Incompetent teachers, useless subjects rarely anyone has interest in, and the lack of practical applications/experiments to spark interest in a given subject. I believe I'm a lot more intelligent today than I was back then. I never liked history, geography, or biology, but have tons of interest in psychology, quantum physics, and astrology. Chemistry, on the other hand, seemed like rocket science back then, however, I self-studied parts of it 5 years ago and found it to be fairly simple. It's amazing how the education system isn't really educating most of us, but seems to be more about discipline, obedience, and following rules. It's more of a brain-conditioning institution than anything else. Creativity has no room there, memorization is celebrated and rewarded, just as if that's what Tesla and Einstein did.
Josh - for the past two days I have watched your many math vids and refreshed my memory of fractions and percentages. Your brilliant way of teaching is super helpful, esp if you haven't been to school in a while - HIGHLY RECOMMEND your vids over the others. THX
Where were you when I was learning math!?! I always paid attention but always struggled. Thanks so much for this teaching ! At 51yo I have a real desire to go back and learn these basics for myself! Glad to have found you!🙏❤️
This is my favorite video ever now. I’m 31 and never learned these tricks until this video 😭 I really think the school system just hated their students
I just took probability and decided to get ahead of school, I never knew how to calculate percentages now I can do it no prob! thank you for the amazing video
1st Viewer here, Nice video! This dude should be my Math Teacher!!!!!! Thanks man, helped me with normal percentage problem :D Edit: Thanks tecmath for the like and reply!
Thanks to t=cm@th I aced the math portion of my entrance exam for my HVAC Union. At 53 I had not studied math in 35 yrs. Now I will be getting my full tuition paid for = $20k per year.
Okay, first of all: you are so quick and to the point and the tricks are very cool too, but I gotta say; I am *totally* staying even more for your personality 😦😆💕 You are SO much fun and you sound like an awesome person!! Thanks teach- keep 'em coming! :]
This is an amazing video! I love all your math tricks. Studying for the MCAT right now. I honestly feel so dumb that I didn't recognize this myself with all the math studying I've been doing! I wish you were my teacher in highschool - ours were not so great.
I’m a teacher and I do teach this. Oddly enough some parents will blame me for teaching “common core math” when I show number sense strategies like this.
Study your basic add, subtract, fractions, multiple, ➗, protractor, triangle scale rule, standard ruler and metric system ruler, if school offer carpentry classes to learn how to make 25° angel to 45° angel. Carpentry wood work classes is harder than I thought it would be DC average grade was good enough for me. Lol
@@O-ShinSpringsWater and be sure to go to English class to learn that an "angel" is not an "angle" but you do know that for every girl that has the curves (some would call her an angel) there is a guy that has the angles.
That is very good and i want to be a teacher and teach the teenagers things you didn't know about school and how to educate yourself and parenting and tricks you didnt learn in school i want to be a secondary school teacher or year 7 teacher
These are some of the best videos I've ever seen! They are totally practical and easy one you get the hang of it! I'm going to be watching all of your videos! Great job, thank you very much!
WOW! Finally at age 50+ 😂 How is it that I learnt how to do this in minutes, when I spent years at school struggling and still didn't grasp it 😁 Thank you. Ok, just gonna give my Maths teacher sister in law the heads up 😉
Tuesday August 24th 2021 I have to watch several of your videos again because don’t understand some of this vital and valuable information ! Thank you ! New subscriber ! ❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍♥️♥️♥️🌺🌺🌺🌹🌹🌹🌷🌷🌷😊😊😊
in india even though they kill our creativity they make our minds so sharp in maths and science that we fiigure out these things ourselves but still there is no limit to learning. Nice videos
Thank you so much tecmath now I know a easy fast way to do this and I passed on my school practie test just because of this video thank you so much and for that I got a new 💻 mac book pro and a iphone 📱 12 from my parents
Thank you! I'm 30 years old and just worked out how to do percentages PROPERLY. I never understood it and just pretended I did because after asking the teacher for the 3rd time they thought you were stupid and stopped trying
thank u so much that really helped me!i have assessment week this week so i'm studying for the maths test and i could really understand what you are saying so a big thanks

I’m obsessed with percentages. Mainly because I’ve never understood how they work. Now that I understand them a bit more, it’s becoming more and more fascinating.
Several years back in one of my classes one of the students was lamenting that it was difficult to learn math. I began explaining the construction of math textbooks. While I was discussing this a math major was nodding in approval all the while. Suffice it to say that math textbooks are not constructed is a sequential pattern. I read of a math teacher in Texas who wrote a textbook in a sequential order (Chapter 1 presented a concept; chapter 2 expanded on it; chapter 3 completed the discussion). Thing is, he couldn't get the book published. Why? Math teachers don't teach in that order. They don't teach these tricks because they never learned them because of the way they were taught. This disjointed pattern naturally restricts finding little tricks that make learning math easier.
Commercials at the end may work better, while we’re thinking of it. Give us an equation and the answer afterwards. After we’ve learned. Love it ,thanks!
You are a good teacher. When showing others what I learned, I tell them my teacher taught me this method.
He not good
He perfect
You can hear a smile in his voice, it makes it so fun. Man thanks for making these!
I am 72 years old. I was never great at maths. I learned enough to get buy. Finding these videos has awakened my interest. Thank you
Always loved my maths, and at 75 I'm still learning, especially from you. Thanks it's great
thats amazing! May God bless you! Give Him your heart and your life, accept the Lord Jesus as your Lord and savior, He is always there for us.!:)
Wow❤️❤️

This is excellent! I am a homeschool mom and struggling to teach math “clues and tricks “. These are great. Thank you
I learned this in a public school in the 70s, these videos are the greatest
It’s not the same today! They use all kinds of weird funky models and make it impossible for parents to understand. SMH 🤦♀️
So did I
Where were you when I was learning math!?! I always paid attention but always struggled. Thanks so much for this teaching ! At 51yo I have a real desire to go back and learn these basics for myself! Glad to have found you!🙏❤️
Love this calculation doesn’t heard my head, so is good 👍
this is the number 1 best youtube channel created, i actually have a chance of passing my math test!
They need to teach it this way at school. This was how I learned percentage
when I was in elementary school in Vietnam!
Awesome. We never did get taught this way - just follow the formula!
They teach us a different way bur way easier and shorter
This channel is a little gem that I have just stumbled upon. Thankyou so very much for sharing all this
Now I can calculate it within few seconds ,thanks so much you are the best teacher I've ever seen!❤
Thank you for these videos. At 62, I'm still learning things. I love it.
Thank you for this channel, I have always let math defeat me!
At 56 I decided I am going to learn how to do it even if it's the last thing I do!
This is my favorite video ever now. I’m 31 and never learned these tricks until this video 😭 I really think the school system just hated their students
I just took probability and decided to get ahead of school, I never knew how to calculate percentages now I can do it no prob! thank you for the amazing video
You are amazing and your sunny vocal disposition makes learning this a mandatory pleasure. Thanks!
Keep the maths coming, you make me enjoy maths rather than hate it.
Just brilliant... The way you make the maths so much easier with a voice to match... Just Brilliant!!!
Thanks Dave.

Very good presentation of a commonly confusing topic.
Thanks
You are a brilliant maths teacher....and your voice makes Maths just that little bit more enjoyable. Please keep these videos coming 🙂
Love these videos and little tricks. I just wish that they were around when I was in school. Woud have made things a lot easier.
Thanks.

Tip 3 never occurred to me but makes so much sense, since percentages are basically an extension of multiplication and division if you think about it
I hope I pass my test tomorrow Thank you so much for posting this video
