  • @thecalendarninja
    @thecalendarninja 3 года назад +2

    This is really amazing 👏! What I do, to simplify it even further, is I noticed we can even reduce the amount of intersections to count even further by using a separate color for each digit that's different in the problem. For example, (937x26) I'll use blue for 9, red for 3, green for 7, black for 2, and purple for 6. I write them down, and then just have a super easy and fun time solving the problem! I used to think we have to use colors for 0 or multiples of 5 or 10, 100, and so on, but I noticed just by trying it out that it works with any number you want! After thinking it through that should be obvious, and it teaches multiplication and addition in a visually clean and easy way.

I am one happy camper this morning I now can do long multiplication :D ..... Thank you so very much.... Yes others may be right bout it being longer to do it this way , However I am not others, I could never learn the way teachers taught and to be honest for me this is quicker, and more accurate ..... Thank you again from the bottom of my heart ....

Many academics are just people with good memories so life is easy for them especially exams and certificates, etc. but they learn by rote and don't truly understand and rarely have the ability to solve complicated problems if they have not been taught how to.

    It is better to put a line and its numerical value (like a line valued 9 as ONE line with a number 9 on it) instead of a line of 5 and 4 line in parallel.
    like anything else one need some practice before evaluating whether it is good/fast for him or not.

    It’s very interesting, the steps are essentially the same as adding “x’s” to the next step using traditional American mathematics (then adding everything up). However, this definitely provides a helpful visual aid.

  • @tinyrex9911
    @tinyrex9911 8 лет назад +2

    I used this to answer another question I had. you can multiply single digits by placing a zero in front of them. aka 5X4 would be drawn as 05X04 and the method works just the same.

    • @tinksno1
      @tinksno1 8 лет назад +1

      +Tiny Rex you don't really need the zeros, you can just draw 4 lines in one direction and a line representing 5 in another then you would count the four intersections by counting up in fives, 5, 10, 15, 20. And there is your answer, don't overcomplicate it for yourself! :)

    • @tinyrex9911
      @tinyrex9911 8 лет назад

      tinksno1 I know i typed "5X4" just as a random example but if you use the "zero line" then you keep the proper spacing for when you circle the sections for your answer. That is the reason the zero line is used at all, to put the intersections in the right locations. I appreciate your response and of course I know what 5X4 is without drawing any lines , I was just clarifying how to maintain spacing for anyone using this method.

    • @alexandraputz9667
      @alexandraputz9667 8 лет назад +1

      +Tiny Rex Just use 05x14 as your example then. 05x04 just doesnt make sense.
      Also if you keep the angles of the lines right, the intersections should be easy to locate, as they should be from top to bottom in one line. If not maybe quad paper might help you ;)

    • @tinyrex9911
      @tinyrex9911 8 лет назад

      Alexandra Calvo Look, I've tried to be nice but you are wrong! If you don't understand the concept that there are quadrants where single digits and tenth's and hundreds must stay then don't try to correct me when I'm right and you are wrong. You cannot simply draw four lines anywhere they have to be spaced properly as I said or they will not line up. graph paper has nothing do do with it and you need to stop spreading lies on my post or I will erase your comments.

    • @MaryAnnNytowl
      @MaryAnnNytowl 3 года назад

      Your first number, the ones, would be from the first set of crossings from the right, the second place, the tens, would be from the next crossings from the right, and the hundreds place would be the next sets of crossings.
      In your example, there would be a 5s line & 4 1s lines, twice, for 99, and crossing those would be a 5s line and 4 1s lines, also twice, for 99.

    I would do it in my head like this:
    109 x 72
    100 x 72 = 7,200
    9 x 72 = 648
    7,200 + 648 = 7,848
    109 x 72 = 7,848
    Here are some other examples that lets expanded form help you out:
    232 x 44
    200 x 44 = 8,800
    30 x 44 = 1,320
    2 x 44 = 88
    8,800 + 1,320 + 88 = 10,208
    232 x 44 = 10,208
    597 x 13
    500 x 13 = 6,500
    90 x 13 = 1,170
    7 x 13 = 91
    6,500 + 1,170 + 91 = 7,761
    597 x 13 = 7,761
    1,004 x 27
    1,000 x 27 = 27,000
    4 x 27 = 108
    27,000 + 108 = 27,108
    1,004 x 27 = 27,108

  • @nqshershey2206
    @nqshershey2206 9 лет назад

    Hey guys has he done this trick: It's called multiplying any 2 digit number by 99
    Ex:
    99 times lets say 47
    First step is minus 1 from 47 which is 46
    Second step now how many numbers do u need to add from 47 to make it equal 100, which should be 53 because 47 plus 53 equals 100
    Third step is say the two numbers together as if u were saying it in the thousands. Like it should be 46 thousand and 53
    U can check if u want and it's not that hard when u start to get used to it! Hope u guys like that trick and maybe he should use it If he hasn't already done so
    Now try 99 times 75 for practice

    this one is alittle more confusing what if you don;t use the "5's" ? will you still get the same answer?

    • @MaryAnnNytowl
      @MaryAnnNytowl 3 года назад +1

      Yeah, you'd get the same, but your sets of lines would be a lot larger. You'd need 6 lines for the 600, rather than a 5 and a 1, so 6 total lines rather than 2 total, for just that first crossing set. You'd need, for example, 9 total lines for a 9, rather than a 5 line and 4 1s lines.

    What will happen if the answer has a zero in it, what would that look like?

    • @MaryAnnNytowl
      @MaryAnnNytowl 3 года назад

      You just put a zero there. Like with the ones he crossed out, their answer is zero + what the other set equaled. For the problem he did that was 607×24, the 2nd set of crossings was 14+0, and the 3rd set of crossings was 24+0. Your example would have a crossing where they would be 0+0, so you'd write down 0 for that place.

    what do you do for decimals?

      @wazif1786 8 лет назад +1

      ikr. Maybe you can can take away the decimals and then add them back again. Although, if you have something like 5.5x5.9 you cant

    • @azuregriffin1116
      @azuregriffin1116 6 лет назад

      I'd multiply each decimal in to a whole number, then at the end shift them back. So if you shifted by 9 in one number and 4 in the other you'd go back 13 spaces in the end.

    Very helpful. ? What if you have a problem that has "0" at the end like 200x70 or 250×70? We are a little confused. Thank you.

      If you have different coloured pens, use, blue (for example) for the counting numbers and green for the zeroes. Draw the lines for the zeroes as you would for the counting numbers and separate the intersections. The first two intersections have no counting numbers, so they are both 0. By adding the others and carrying where appropriate, the answer to 250 x 70 will be 17,500. I am NOT a mathematician and this worked for me! Thanks for posing the sum; it gave me a chance to work it out. I hope my explanation helps.
