Hi Angela! I'm so honored to know that Yay Math will be in your own classroom, what a great feeling. Please feel free to use everything on the site as you see appropriate. Perhaps as I did in Chicago and Atlanta, I could come to your school and meet with your fellow teachers, students, and even parents? Please feel free to get in touch with me directly on RUclips or my email address on the site. Thank you!
Omg this is amazing. My worst struggle was not knowing where to plug in the two numbers inside the parenthesis and entering the same coefficient in both truly makes it easier. Thank you so much for posting!!
Thank you, Robert! Great to hear back from you so quickly! I definitely shall keep your invitation in mind when I do have my own mathematics classroom in the (near) future!
I need help. I am taking this math class and I already chainged teachers once. I understand nothing. Even the things I understood are all jumbled up. If anyone has some info or some kind of help please let me know. Right now I am working on Binomials. I hope thats how you say it in englisch (the class is in german). Thanks guys
Do after school tutoring, ask your teacher for help, ask friends to explain the things you are confused on, ask you parents for help, etc... There are a lot of things you can do to understand math a little bit better.
Great video! When I watched one of your videos for the first time I was thinking the jokes were taking my attention a little bit but now I realize it doesn't really... now I am more comfortable factoring and I have an important test in two days. Thank you very much !
Hey I'm in 9th grade this year and Algebra 1 is not making sense to me. The work I'm doing doesn't tell me to factor the same way you do. I don't know how to choose the right factors. I really need help! Thanks!
You are great with the kids, Robert! I just had a quick question, why is this method called Berry Method? O.o I hope you don't mind me borrowing this and show my students this method! :D
(2x-3)(x+4) Foiled: First - 2x^2 Outside - 8x Inside - -3x Last - -12 All together- 2x^2+8x-3x-12 Then you add like terms to simplify it as in math you always simplify when possible So since 8x and -3x are like terms you take 3 away from 8 which is 5 and you leave the x with it so its 5x
Personally, I think that people come here to watch this video because they're going to listen. He should know that. For this reason, I think that he doesn't have to make it "funny" to make us pay attention. Just saying, he wasted a lot of my, which I could have used on finding a good instructional video, which is what I thought I would get here.
Oh you shut up..the way you complain is as if your paying him to do this...so if you don't like the way his teaching then go look for other videos and don't even bother discriminate others way of teaching instead be thankful as to how these videos are for free
Trixia Gonzales I am paying him. I'm paying him with my time. Maybe you enjoy having your time wasted when you're trying to study for a test, but I don't. I don't think anybody watches these videos just for fun, and that's what he's trying to make it. I agree that it's okay to add humor, especially in a subject like math where it could easily get boring if you don't, and maybe that's his teaching style. Fine. But as I was saying, he added a little too much. Again, maybe you disagree. That's my opinion and you're not going to change it. It was a waste of my time.

You just saved my life, I have 75 math problems like these and my teacher won't help me. Omg how greatful I am to come across this video !!!!!!
Oh wow!! My hometown!!! I’m glad u came and visited! U are a national treasure - Yay math!!
Oh, and I learned it at a conference, and it was named the Berry Method there.
Omg this is amazing. My worst struggle was not knowing where to plug in the two numbers inside the parenthesis and entering the same coefficient in both truly makes it easier. Thank you so much for posting!!
Thank you YAH MATH! I got this easy explanation of what Factoring is after years of trying to find out.
Thank you, Robert! Great to hear back from you so quickly! I definitely shall keep your invitation in mind when I do have my own mathematics classroom in the (near) future!
How i wish i had a teacher like you during high school. My teachers were awfully bad.I am glad for this video
I love to watch the closed captions to this video. It makes it even more interesting.
In the wise words from Judith Grimes in The Walking Dead "It doesn't matter if you are a good or bad person, the numbers don't care"
Also I don't get why so many people struggle with math its literally just numbers that you manipulate to get an answer
I need help.
I am taking this math class and I already chainged teachers once. I understand nothing.
Even the things I understood are all jumbled up.
If anyone has some info or some kind of help please let me know.
Right now I am working on Binomials.
I hope thats how you say it in englisch (the class is in german).
Thanks guys

I miss my old classroom!!!
Great video! When I watched one of your videos for the first time I was thinking the jokes were taking my attention a little bit but now I realize it doesn't really... now I am more comfortable factoring and I have an important test in two days. Thank you very much !
Was there a history behind the name of Berry Method (curious)?
12:59 am I'm dead, "OK so you have two fake names"... ctfu...done
Thanks for the video :)) you're a great maths teacher! My teacher showed us 2 different methods to factorise but I find the Berry method easier :D
In the most complimentary sense, to answer your question at 23:08, you are the GREATEST cheeze factor!
Hey I'm in 9th grade this year and Algebra 1 is not making sense to me. The work I'm doing doesn't tell me to factor the same way you do. I don't know how to choose the right factors. I really need help! Thanks!
I think you just saved me on my next quiz :O Gracias! Hopefully I do well.
You are great with the kids, Robert! I just had a quick question, why is this method called Berry Method? O.o
I hope you don't mind me borrowing this and show my students this method! :D
Amazing, Maths test tommorow :D
thanks very much for the help you just save me alot!
nice explanation
So where are you planting the bomb? Oh after burning May 23. LOL Rewatch this with captions on it's hilarious.
how does -3 and 4 foil to 5x?
(2x-3)(x+4)
Foiled:
First - 2x^2
Outside - 8x
Inside - -3x
Last - -12
All together- 2x^2+8x-3x-12
Then you add like terms to simplify it as in math you always simplify when possible
So since 8x and -3x are like terms you take 3 away from 8 which is 5 and you leave the x with it so its 5x
You are a great teacher, i really want to learn calculus. Can you do videos on calculus I , II , and III
thank you
I hate reverse foil but this video is really helpful
I live in chicago
Thank you
is the least thing I can do ^_^
Them: Yaaay Math! Me: Shuuut up! Seriously, this guy needs to stop fooling around and just focus on the math. That's what we're watching this for!
He does this so people will pay attention if he just talked people wouldn't listen so he makes it funny
Personally, I think that people come here to watch this video because they're going to listen. He should know that. For this reason, I think that he doesn't have to make it "funny" to make us pay attention. Just saying, he wasted a lot of my, which I could have used on finding a good instructional video, which is what I thought I would get here.
Qui-Gon Jinn Seriousely, I'm with you there he waste too much time fooling around.
