      Spacemonkey _06 I know my teacher does it the long way and I forget everything, but this man just saved my whole rational numbers test which I have tomorrow online schools obviously. The quiz I have on is rational numbers order and operations, multiplying and dividing rational numbers, adding and subtracting rational numbers. This guy helped me a lot. His method is just basically multiplying rational numbers but you add. Tomorrow April 23rd 2020

    I failed a math test over adding and subtracting fractions and I watched this video to help me study for a retake and I really think this will help more bc my math teacher takes about 3 minutes explaining

      And I understand why. He is only using very simple examples and by doing that makes it appear as if the most straightforward way of adding and subtracting fractions (this is not a trick) is a good way to handle all cumputations regarding fractions. By doing that he may give you a false kind of confidence and/or preclude you from gaining a deeper understanding of fractions. I will try to give you an example where it is a lot easier to work with another method, than his. Try for example: 23/49 + 1/7. You can now multiply 7*49=343 and 1*49=49 and 23*7=161 and then add 49+161=210 and you get 210/343 which you now have to cancel fully to 30/49. This makes 6 computations, if you follow the method explained in the video. you can however use(or train) your knowlegde about the multiplication table from 1 to 10 and see that 49 already is the smallest common divisor, meaning that 7 goes into 49. Now you just instantly write that divisor on the result site like this: (...)/49 and you can even leave the 23 as it is, like this: (23+...)/49 the only thing you have to do now is multiply 1*7 and fill the gap like so (23+7)/49, you add the numbers and you are done with 30/49. That made 3 computations (if you count finding the common divisor as a computation) and it saves you from having to multiply and add the larger numbers. There are more demanding exercises of course. Since teachers are to some degree held responsible( and often even interested) in what you learn, they will try to empower you by giving you the right idea of what you can and what you can't do. That being said I like the visual approach(using arrows etc.) tecmath is using to explain one method of adding and subtracting. I would however prefer if he made clear that there is more to know and that there is no trick to "his" method. That's another thing about this video. It can be good to just go for a method when you start to learn something, but you just have to know that by learning a certain way of computing you have not learned by what principles the method works, which is what math is about to a large degree. So long...

    Thank you for this video! I'm 38 and I'm studying to take a placement test for a new trade and math is a requirement. Thing is, I haven't done fractions, algebra or trig since high school and I forgot most of it. I was actually taught this method of solving fractions in school and my teacher called it the upside down picnic table. Thank you for the refresher!
