@@AkeebaMaze Hi (ms. Cool maze 🆒) in past i have seen Some of your cool teaching vids thanks for letting me watch nice job!! Sometime i have Questions try ask you please Too?? 📚🥰🐜 🐜
LOL I'm a whole adult and I am not embarrassed to admit that she just taught me how to memorize my 9's times tables for the first time in my life😂. Thank you to this woman❤
🎯Don’t even trip, Sis! I am here because I feel like someone poured pancake syrup into my brain. Feeling so rusty about math, it is embarrassing. I used to work at mortgage company😂! I need my math back! This video is GREAT! Thank you.
I learned up to 9×10 with the 9s using my hands when I learned multiplication in 3rd grade. We used flash cards and a multiplication table up to 12×12 For 9s put your hands palms down on table and tuck whichever number you are multiplying 1 Tuck pinky on left hand gets you 9 2 Left ring finger 1 a gap 8 so 18 Continue to the right 10 Right pinky so 9 and nothing after so 90 Anyways, the 10s are easy, just add a zero
Sadly, you probably weren't yet born when I had to learn the multiplication tables. I'm keeping this video for myself & will send off to my grandkids. This was a way better than how we were taught in school in my day. Thank you so much for your great teaching.
“I don’t know! Do SOMETHING!”😂😂😂😂 Girl, youre teaching me stuff i struggled with in school. Youre making it make sense in a way no one else ever has. Thank you for that! Here’s your thumbs up: 👍
I have just sent this video to my daughter for my grandson. If think your method needs to be taught in all schools here in the UK 🇬🇧 Thank you for your video. ❤️
I'm an adult and was never really good with memorizing multiplication. But after your video, I seriously learned some stuff. And I can't wait to show my kids. You made it so fun and clear. A way that NO teacher has ever explained. Or I didn't till now lol. But thank you so much. I truly know it will help my kids feel better with multiplication. Have a wonderful day and thank you so much for your knowledge and sharing it with others.
I'm 35 years old and I never recognized the pattern with the 9s. I really feel like public school taught math to be complicated. I would have loved to have you as my teacher when I was in second/ third grade. Maybe I would not have hated math as I did. They were very dead set on students solving math THEIR way which was long and time consuming. If I ever have children, it is my desire to homeschool them and your channel will be a tool that I will use.
👦🏻I’m 8 years old, me and my mother were 😮watching this video and we were shocked,🤯 we were mine blonde, I really wish you were my teacher! 🫡Thank you very much for teaching me this lesson I’m very grateful🙏🏻
The way I was taught (also 40 years ago) was: Each kid had to sit on the "table" they were studying for. I sat at the "3" table, a couple of smart kids sat at the "12" table with the teacher. It was 3 or 4 kids per table. Once a kid felt they were ready to graduate to the next table, they were supposed to ask to be tested by the teacher, and if they passed the test could go and sit at the next table. We all sat at the same tables, doing nothing for the entire time, a few weeks later the class moved on to something else. I didn't learn my times tables until I was in the middle of an engineering degree and realised it was causing me major problems (along with the rest of maths)
Figured that one out quickly as a kid but was surprised no one ever actually taught it to us. I've been showing it to kids and it's validating to know I'm not the only one.
Did you know that you can tell if any number is divisible by 9 by adding its digits and if the sum is a known multiple of 9 then the original is too. Eg. 2574 is in the 9s times table because 2+5+7+4=18 and 18 is divisible by 9.
Omg, it seems so easy. When I was a kid, the teacher just threw the timetable at us and said we had to memorize it. Now my daughter is a second grader, and she just can't grasp the multiplication. I was desperate, not knowing how to help her to learn the multiplication table. So glad I stumbled upon your video. Thank you. I will definitely use it to teach her.
I'm so proud of you and your sister Alana and your children. I'm a 62 year BF gma living in B'more. You two are so smart and adventurous. You are repping. You are a credit to womanhood and your race.
This video just popped up on my suggested and I watched until the end. If I had you as my teacher in grade school I would’ve done great in math. Math wasn’t my favorite subject because it was my weakness. Just commented to say you are great at what you do. Your students are so blessed to have you as a teacher. 😊
I wish I had you as my teacher when I was younger. I hated math all my life because of my teachers (yes with an ‘s’). I never mastered the multiplication table and I’m 47 now 😂. I’m a believer that everything happens for a reason and you appearing on my feed is Divine orchestration. Heck I’ll give this a shot. Thank you, teacher Maze! 🙏🏼
My mom taught me my multiplication table when I was 4 years old., up to 10x10. She and her sisters were amazing and none of them had a degree. So I could actually spell small words and the math was already instilled in me before I entered junior kindergarten . Thanks Mom
Wow! You are amazing...if I was in school.being an adult right now, I will pay you to tutor me! You are blessed! I will pass this to my children for my grandchildren!
I'm 55 years old and while I know the whole trick for the nines with increasing the 1st number by one and decreasing the second number by one , I never knew, realized or was taught the trick of adding the 2 numbers together equal 9. Kudos to you for pointing that trick out. I am pretty good at math and used to tutor college students in algebra. But you taught me a couple new things today.
I'm 15, and always had trouble with multiplication. Watching this video really brought some clarity and an easier way memorize rather than cramming my timetables. Thank you so much😊❤
I well remember the days of having to do the times tables. I was about 22 years old watching the show Square One with my niece who was in the third grade at the time when I first heart and saw the hack of the nines and wonder why no one ever told me it would have made me life so much easier back then.
I just found you video because my granddaughter is having problems with multiplication and you have shown me a way to work with her to get her up to par. Your tips and technique is so eye opening and will most defiantly help with working with her to memorize her multiplication tables.
Akeeba! I love you. Did the English course before summer and am in tears that I am teaching my child how to read English. Thanks for cheering me on. I'd pay for the math class if my children were in the same grade as yours. If you remember me, mum from Finland
I've always struggled with multiplication because of how my mom taught me and worried about teaching my own kids. This makes me so happy because this is so easy! Thanks!!
Love this. I'm an engineer and this was how my brain learned these. My teacher used the table so I could see it and a few of these tips, but wow so many more great tips. And these will help with so many other math skills later on. I also loved the tips of how many times to go over each concept. As an adult, it's rude to repeat things, so it's good to be reminded it's different when teaching. Yeah, so happy parents have your channel as a resource.
Wow! You are an AMAZING teacher! I needed you back in the 1960s when it was just a bunch of rote learning without pattern recognition! Bravo, Ms. Maze! Your students are blessed to have you as a teacher!
First year homeschooling and my 2nd and 3rd graders are learning multiplication. My 3rd grader is struggling and I didn’t know how to help her. I feel soooo empowered now! THANK YOU!!
I’m 46 years old and always was terrible in math. Couldn’t remember my multiplication. Your method was so easy to remember and I loved how your explanation on how find the answers by looking at the other numbers. Your brilliant. Thank you for teaching a 46 year old how to do math so easily.
For 12s I taught by pattern. The first digit in the answer increases by one and the next digit increases by 2 until you get to 8 and then you start back at 0. Just in case anyone has kiddos that really respond to the pattern style learning. Ty and great video!
I'm in college developmental math relearning the basics and this really helped me! I graduated over 7 years ago and never fully memorized these. They always let me use a calculator but in college they make you memorize the tables. No calculators allowed! This really helped me, my tutor shared this with me. It's kind of embarrassing that I don't know these by heart but nonetheless I will have it down in no time! We live in a generation where computers and AI do the math for us and in a way I feel like it makes people dumber because we rely on computers. Just my input on technology and mental mathematics. But thank you so much for this video it really helps! ✅
As a homeschool mom myself, I’m constantly looking for helpful videos, resources, etc. Your way of explaining and breaking down multiplication is great. Looking forward to watching more of your videos. New subscriber here! 🫶🏽
I teach my kiddos using terms like "groups of". I also LOVE watching school house rocks with my littles. Thank you for sharing as this is super helpful with the other tips.
So im helping my fourth grader learn her multiplication tables and resorted to youtube for hacks n this is grade A. It makes so much sense!! Thank u. Ill be putting our homework learning lesson together NOW eith your help. Im super confident that our troubles are over. Thank you so much😊
❤God led me here. Typed in how to teach multiplication to a struggling one..and many videos poppe up. I just started crying...thank u . Now I will be trying to show exactly what u did. How beautiful of a mind...the children u teach are so lucky. Thank you for being God sent**)))) i subscribed❤❤❤❤
Man, I learned even more about the 9 x's table now then back in the day.. I can see your kids friends saying I want your Mom to teach me. Wish I had you as my teacher..I was a a,b,c student in Math and sometimes got d's. I def would of gotten all A's knowing your method as my teacher. God bless you. You're making a huge difference
Your video popped up for me randomly and I was immediately like, "Do I know her from somewhere?" then you referred to yourself as, "Ms. Maze" and I was like OMG! This is, indeed, so random I have been a regular viewer of your sister's RUclips channel for YEARS! How wonderful to see your content popup. You're doing a wonderful job and I hope more people find and utilize your channel. From wha I can see you are a great teacher! I sure they had taught us like this when I was little. Definitely would've helped a lot. haha Keep up the great work. 👍
We don’t have teachers like you in my area I wish we did The teachers around here are really partial, I’ve witness this with my own eyes many times even the principal and vice principal is the same. Thank you for for offering others a chance to learn it makes such a difference we need many more teachers like you!
So glad I made use of this method for a special need homeschooled student and his "regular" sister. Use the spl need methods to teach the regular kid too! Made them both better! They're adults now!! Thriving! Great job!
Wow, this is incredible! An over 40 engineer over here. How I wished you were my teacher all those years back of memorising those times table. That 9x times pattern was just amazing... really great job. Can't wait to show this to my kids ❤.
2:17 While I agree that using the commutative property of multiplication cuts down on the amount of memorization, it's better for exercising working memory at a young age to have students memorize the expressions in both directions and then use the commutative property only as a check. This gives students automaticity when solving problems later on that is very valuable during timed tests, and they will be able to perform mental calculations to double-check their work much more efficiently and accurately as a result of the initial redundancy. For students who go on to study linear algebra and abstract algebra, encounters with noncommutative groups and matrix algebras will also be less jarring, lol.
This is so very good!! Thank you ! I am a homeschooling mom of 6 year old twins and a 5 year old and we are ready to start memorizing our multiplication facts and this is super helpful ! When they learn it they get to pie me and my husband in the face and they are focused lol
I certainly don't know who you are young lady, but GOD BLESS, for what you do ! It is so good to know there are still Teachers like you ! This is fantastic ! Teacher of the Century in my book ! You should be very proud ! Thank you again ! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 👍😉
How refreshing your approach is. What an excellent teacher you are. Wish I had you as my teacher as well. Knowlege gaining combined with fun. Thank you so much
My daughter is in second grade and the way things are taught today is WAY WAY diff from back .. way back😁 I've been dreading multiplication bc she has such a hard time with what we're on now and the way it's taught so I thought I would watch this too see if I can get ahead ..... Thank you!!!!!! This makes it so much easier to teach her! And I have a school size white board here at home so I'm going to copy exactly what you did thank you thank you!!
Yo!!! The 9 is mind blowing!! Why didn't anybody teach this when I was growing up!! It would have saved me sooo much time from memorizing index cards🤦♀️ This is definitely for Gen X now. We in school all over, but with less stress😂 I'm so grateful to you🙏🏽 Praise God 👏🏽
There is a faster one that uses Make10 - which is something we WANT young students to practice. Just count the multiplier back one (K/1st graders have memorized the countback order from 10, so it's not a calc - just recalling a memorized value. You do the 2nd calc on the same multiplier - DO NOT change to the countback result. One digit stays in the brain's 'register' for both calcs - which makes it even faster. Calc the Make10 value in the 2nd step. This is not a calculation either for students expert at Make10 - it's "subitized". For 9 x 4, count back the 4 to 3 for 30...and you Make10 out of the 4 with a 6. Answer: 36. Please share - been trying for 6 years and YT and others still have the finger calc and others. This is the fastest AND it helps build the Make10 skill...which is used for rounding, adding to subtract, making100, making1000,,,

Thank you for the links. I have a question: what would you do if a 3rd or 4th grader is expected to learn their times tables but they are still counting number bonds up to 20 with their fingers, and they cannot fill in a missing number of a number bond of 10 without drawing a number line or drawing an array, circling the known number and counting the rest?! I have been showing my 3rd and 4th grade kids the same flashcards of additions to 20 every single day for 6 weeks but I see little improvement in speed, let alone adding the numbers in their head! Skip counting in 2s is no better, never mind doubling numbers... Regardless, they are soon expected to find a common multiplier for adding unequivalent fractions...
Girl you are awesome!!!!! Forget about my child I learned so much. I wish I knew all this growing up. Now to get my 7 year old to learn their times table. Thanks for the tips and for taking the time to be so detailed. 😊
Thank you for all you do to educate the youth of today. YOU are teaching the future generations to think of math as fun. I wish I had a math teacher like you growing up.
This was basically how I was taught my multiplication tables 50 years ago. However, _after_ we went through this process we were given a sheet with 50 problems on it and we had 3 minutes to answer all the problems. If you answered all the problems in 3 minutes you got to go to recess. If you didn't then stayed inside and practiced. I stayed inside and practiced a lot, but I did eventually learn my times tables. Plus, practicing was just doing another sheet, so you only missed 3 or 4 minutes of recess if you didn't pass it the first time.
I'm teaching elementary for the first time this year after 30 years teaching 7-12th grade. Thanks for this "cheat code!" I'm encouraged that I did have the presence of mind to have my students requiring Tier 3 support to learn the 0-2, 5, 10s an 11s first. I'm NO MATH TEACHER but I understand you. Bless you Akeeba!!
Excellent video! You are a gifted teacher. I just wanted to add a tip that worked with my kids: after they can easily calculate the answers (eg by thinking 4x6 is double 2x6) I focus on pure memorization so that they don’t have to calculate anymore. Using flash cards or just verbal questions when driving around, if they miss one or if they are slow to respond, I make them say it out loud 5 times in a row. “Four times six is twenty four; four times six is twenty four…” and so on. Something about hearing their own voice say it really helps to retain the answer. I’m sharing this video with some other parents! Thanks for taking the time to put it together.
Wow when they said you learn something new everyday it’s really true. I’m an electronics engineer and actually learned so much from the video, thank you and keep up the good work❤
As an adult it finally clicked it’s all addition. I know the easy ones and just add or subtract off the ones I know. More and more now I can easily do it. But this taught me some new skills.
I left teaching after the pandemic and miss it sometimes. Watching this made me remember how much I loved it 🙏💕. I still love my mental health more 😂 Thanks for the trip down memory lane!
As a teaching assistant I teach catch up after school on a 1 to 1 basis, usually to kids with SEN and it is hard trying to find ways to help the children access math. I will use your video as a teaching tool. I usually try and show the children a physical item: pens, sweets, apples because pictures or drawing items is too abstract for them to grasp. I also tell them times is the same as saying groups so 5x3 is 5 groups of 3, which can be shown using everyday items. The same strategy I also use for fractions:1/3 is 1 part of 3, 2/3 is 2 parts of 3 and 3/3 is 3 parts of 3 which makes 1 full portion or the whole part but the word whole can be a difficult word for them to understand.
Thanks for this. I’m a teacher. I do much of this, but not all of it. I really like the idea of writing them all down, so students can see that they know more than they think they know. Thanks again!
Okayyyyy….I wish I had you as a teacher when I was in school! I’m a homeschooling mom of 6 now and the curriculum we are using they are trying to just memorize skip counting….and it’s not working very well. Saved this video! Thank you so much!
Wow, just wow! I cannot for the life of me do math, and I have a 7 years old that I need to get on the math train. She is doing good so far, getting 90’s in her exams, however there’s so much more to learn. My child will become exceptionally gifted in doing math! 🙏🏾 THANK YOU MS MAZE! P.s This breakdown blew my mind!
Yes the flip flop method I called it. I started with factors 4 and 6. Their a pattern many don't catch it. Jump to 7 and 8 9 the sum must equal 9 with added together. 10 count by 10 's 11 the number double until you reach numbers 10-12. Skip count 2 's and 5's Lastly 12 because it's really not many to learn just 12 × 12!
Was thinking about teaching my child times table before the school year begins and coincidentally came across your video. And i think I'm gonna adopt your style. Thanks a lot, much appreciated and keep up the good work 👍♥️🙏💯
Why do I feel my granddaughter teacher failed her. I was using flash cards. I think this will be more helpful to her. Our lessons for the rest of the week. Thanks
😊 Homeschooling mom here! Thanks a million for taking the time to make share this. I am adopting this method to teach multiplication to my Littles. Blessings to you and yours.

9 is a weird number. The sum of 9 answer when multiplied, always simplify back to 9.Examples: 9, 18, 27, 36...378. 3+7+8=18. 18÷2=9
I learned up to 9×10 with the 9s using my hands when I learned multiplication in 3rd grade.
We used flash cards and a multiplication table up to 12×12
For 9s put your hands palms down on table and tuck whichever number you are multiplying
1
Tuck pinky on left hand gets you 9
2
Left ring finger 1 a gap 8 so 18
Continue to the right
10
Right pinky so 9 and nothing after so 90
Anyways, the 10s are easy, just add a zero
@@girlsamurai19Dang beat me to it lol i was gunna comment this cause that is exactly how i was taught to work out the 9s

If I ever have children, it is my desire to homeschool them and your channel will be a tool that I will use.
👦🏻I’m 8 years old, me and my mother were 😮watching this video and we were shocked,🤯 we were mine blonde, I really wish you were my teacher! 🫡Thank you very much for teaching me this lesson I’m very grateful🙏🏻

Can I teach you "mind blown" instead of "mine blonde"? 😊
You are an example of the teacher that should be teaching all our children. ❤God bless you
Thank you for teaching in the way that teachers taught 40 years ago. This gives me joy.
The way I was taught (also 40 years ago) was:
Each kid had to sit on the "table" they were studying for. I sat at the "3" table, a couple of smart kids sat at the "12" table with the teacher. It was 3 or 4 kids per table.
Once a kid felt they were ready to graduate to the next table, they were supposed to ask to be tested by the teacher, and if they passed the test could go and sit at the next table.
We all sat at the same tables, doing nothing for the entire time, a few weeks later the class moved on to something else.
I didn't learn my times tables until I was in the middle of an engineering degree and realised it was causing me major problems (along with the rest of maths)
This is not how I was taught 40 years ago. It was worksheets and just writing the answer over and over and over
I'm in y 40s and was not taught like this. I learnt things I never knew and it will really help me support my children. Thank you so much.
Why as an adult...the 9 times table...completely blown my mind!
Yep I learned something too..
Figured that one out quickly as a kid but was surprised no one ever actually taught it to us. I've been showing it to kids and it's validating to know I'm not the only one.
Did you know that you can tell if any number is divisible by 9 by adding its digits and if the sum is a known multiple of 9 then the original is too.
Eg. 2574 is in the 9s times table because 2+5+7+4=18 and 18 is divisible by 9.
Yes I never noticed that
Omg, it seems so easy. When I was a kid, the teacher just threw the timetable at us and said we had to memorize it. Now my daughter is a second grader, and she just can't grasp the multiplication. I was desperate, not knowing how to help her to learn the multiplication table. So glad I stumbled upon your video. Thank you. I will definitely use it to teach her.
My little boy is starting third grade in a few weeks.This is right on time😊
I'm so proud of you and your sister Alana and your children. I'm a 62 year BF gma living in B'more. You two are so smart and adventurous. You are repping. You are a credit to womanhood and your race.
This video just popped up on my suggested and I watched until the end. If I had you as my teacher in grade school I would’ve done great in math. Math wasn’t my favorite subject because it was my weakness. Just commented to say you are great at what you do. Your students are so blessed to have you as a teacher. 😊
Oh. My. Gosh. Thank you. 50’yrs old and relearning the “easy” way to multiply. Am passing this on to my kids. Soooo grateful!!🎉🎉🎉🎉
This is great! Your students are lucky to have you as their teacher.
I wish I had you as my teacher when I was younger. I hated math all my life because of my teachers (yes with an ‘s’). I never mastered the multiplication table and I’m 47 now 😂. I’m a believer that everything happens for a reason and you appearing on my feed is Divine orchestration. Heck I’ll give this a shot. Thank you, teacher Maze! 🙏🏼
My mom taught me my multiplication table when I was 4 years old., up to 10x10. She and her sisters were amazing and none of them had a degree. So I could actually spell small words and the math was already instilled in me before I entered junior kindergarten . Thanks Mom
Wow! You are amazing...if I was in school.being an adult right now, I will pay you to tutor me! You are blessed!
I will pass this to my children for my grandchildren!
I'm 55 years old and while I know the whole trick for the nines with increasing the 1st number by one and decreasing the second number by one , I never knew, realized or was taught the trick of adding the 2 numbers together equal 9. Kudos to you for pointing that trick out. I am pretty good at math and used to tutor college students in algebra. But you taught me a couple new things today.
I'm 15, and always had trouble with multiplication. Watching this video really brought some clarity and an easier way memorize rather than cramming my timetables. Thank you so much😊❤
I well remember the days of having to do the times tables. I was about 22 years old watching the show Square One with my niece who was in the third grade at the time when I first heart and saw the hack of the nines and wonder why no one ever told me it would have made me life so much easier back then.
Yes I’m glad my mother taught us that trick! It’s allowed me to teach so many third graders 😂
I just found you video because my granddaughter is having problems with multiplication and you have shown me a way to work with her to get her up to par. Your tips and technique is so eye opening and will most defiantly help with working with her to memorize her multiplication tables.
This is ALMOST EXACTLY how I teach multiplication facts! Very cool to see that there are like minds out there. Thank you 😊
This is the best tables teaching I've ever seen, will be using this to help my grandchildren, thank you so much, I'm subscribing to learn more ❤
Akeeba! I love you. Did the English course before summer and am in tears that I am teaching my child how to read English. Thanks for cheering me on. I'd pay for the math class if my children were in the same grade as yours. If you remember me, mum from Finland
I've always struggled with multiplication because of how my mom taught me and worried about teaching my own kids. This makes me so happy because this is so easy! Thanks!!
Love this. I'm an engineer and this was how my brain learned these. My teacher used the table so I could see it and a few of these tips, but wow so many more great tips. And these will help with so many other math skills later on. I also loved the tips of how many times to go over each concept. As an adult, it's rude to repeat things, so it's good to be reminded it's different when teaching. Yeah, so happy parents have your channel as a resource.
I hope you find this message my daughter has autism and you are a God sent i appreciate you greatly thank you 🎉 I subscribe just for this!!
Wow! You are an AMAZING teacher! I needed you back in the 1960s when it was just a bunch of rote learning without pattern recognition! Bravo, Ms. Maze! Your students are blessed to have you as a teacher!
First year homeschooling and my 2nd and 3rd graders are learning multiplication. My 3rd grader is struggling and I didn’t know how to help her. I feel soooo empowered now! THANK YOU!!
In case you are looking for a helpful curriculum, Saxon Math teaches this way. I have used it for all 5 of my children.
😊😊😊😊 That was awesome. I'm 57 years old. I watched your full video.
I’m 46 years old and always was terrible in math. Couldn’t remember my multiplication. Your method was so easy to remember and I loved how your explanation on how find the answers by looking at the other numbers. Your brilliant. Thank you for teaching a 46 year old how to do math so easily.
For 12s I taught by pattern. The first digit in the answer increases by one and the next digit increases by 2 until you get to 8 and then you start back at 0. Just in case anyone has kiddos that really respond to the pattern style learning. Ty and great video!
Aren’t you just adding 12 when you increase the first number by one then the second by 2? That seems harder than just adding 12.
What a mastermind! Thank you ! This is proof you can learn something new everyday! Ingenious yet simple! Good to know this!
I'm in college developmental math relearning the basics and this really helped me! I graduated over 7 years ago and never fully memorized these. They always let me use a calculator but in college they make you memorize the tables. No calculators allowed! This really helped me, my tutor shared this with me. It's kind of embarrassing that I don't know these by heart but nonetheless I will have it down in no time! We live in a generation where computers and AI do the math for us and in a way I feel like it makes people dumber because we rely on computers. Just my input on technology and mental mathematics. But thank you so much for this video it really helps! ✅
As a homeschool mom myself, I’m constantly looking for helpful videos, resources, etc. Your way of explaining and breaking down multiplication is great. Looking forward to watching more of your videos. New subscriber here! 🫶🏽
I teach my kiddos using terms like "groups of". I also LOVE watching school house rocks with my littles. Thank you for sharing as this is super helpful with the other tips.
So im helping my fourth grader learn her multiplication tables and resorted to youtube for hacks n this is grade A. It makes so much sense!! Thank u. Ill be putting our homework learning lesson together NOW eith your help. Im super confident that our troubles are over. Thank you so much😊
Please do one for division as well. Loved everything about this video and will be doing it with my 2nd and 4th graders later today.
Love from 🇿🇦
❤God led me here. Typed in how to teach multiplication to a struggling one..and many videos poppe up. I just started crying...thank u . Now I will be trying to show exactly what u did. How beautiful of a mind...the children u teach are so lucky. Thank you for being God sent**)))) i subscribed❤❤❤❤
Man, I learned even more about the 9 x's table now then back in the day.. I can see your kids friends saying I want your Mom to teach me. Wish I had you as my teacher..I was a a,b,c student in Math and sometimes got d's. I def would of gotten all A's knowing your method as my teacher. God bless you. You're making a huge difference
For that last multiplication fact, I learned that 56=7x8 and the numbers are conservative (5,6,7,8). Thanks for this video!
Did you mean consecutive?😊
awesome thank you ❤❤
Your video popped up for me randomly and I was immediately like, "Do I know her from somewhere?" then you referred to yourself as, "Ms. Maze" and I was like OMG! This is, indeed, so random I have been a regular viewer of your sister's RUclips channel for YEARS! How wonderful to see your content popup. You're doing a wonderful job and I hope more people find and utilize your channel. From wha I can see you are a great teacher! I sure they had taught us like this when I was little. Definitely would've helped a lot. haha Keep up the great work. 👍
We don’t have teachers like you in my area I wish we did The teachers around here are really partial, I’ve witness this with my own eyes many times even the principal and vice principal is the same. Thank you for for offering others a chance to learn it makes such a difference we need many more teachers like you!
So glad I made use of this method for a special need homeschooled student and his "regular" sister. Use the spl need methods to teach the regular kid too! Made them both better! They're adults now!! Thriving! Great job!
Wow, this is incredible! An over 40 engineer over here. How I wished you were my teacher all those years back of memorising those times table. That 9x times pattern was just amazing... really great job. Can't wait to show this to my kids ❤.
I love seeing how this channel has grown slowly and steadily and now it's taking off! ❤
Thanks!
2:17 While I agree that using the commutative property of multiplication cuts down on the amount of memorization, it's better for exercising working memory at a young age to have students memorize the expressions in both directions and then use the commutative property only as a check. This gives students automaticity when solving problems later on that is very valuable during timed tests, and they will be able to perform mental calculations to double-check their work much more efficiently and accurately as a result of the initial redundancy. For students who go on to study linear algebra and abstract algebra, encounters with noncommutative groups and matrix algebras will also be less jarring, lol.
I thank God for you Akeeba! You changed my view of life & confirmed my doubts about the education system! You are a angel and a blessing!!
This is so very good!! Thank you ! I am a homeschooling mom of 6 year old twins and a 5 year old and we are ready to start memorizing our multiplication facts and this is super helpful ! When they learn it they get to pie me and my husband in the face and they are focused lol
I certainly don't know who you are young lady, but GOD BLESS, for what you do !
It is so good to know there are still Teachers like you !
This is fantastic !
Teacher of the Century in my book !
You should be very proud !
Thank you again !
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
👍😉
How refreshing your approach is. What an excellent teacher you are. Wish I had you as my teacher as well. Knowlege gaining combined with fun. Thank you so much
My daughter is in second grade and the way things are taught today is WAY WAY diff from back .. way back😁 I've been dreading multiplication bc she has such a hard time with what we're on now and the way it's taught so I thought I would watch this too see if I can get ahead ..... Thank you!!!!!! This makes it so much easier to teach her! And I have a school size white board here at home so I'm going to copy exactly what you did thank you thank you!!
Yo!!! The 9 is mind blowing!! Why didn't anybody teach this when I was growing up!! It would have saved me sooo much time from memorizing index cards🤦♀️ This is definitely for Gen X now. We in school all over, but with less stress😂 I'm so grateful to you🙏🏽
Praise God 👏🏽
There is a faster one that uses Make10 - which is something we WANT young students to practice. Just count the multiplier back one (K/1st graders have memorized the countback order from 10, so it's not a calc - just recalling a memorized value. You do the 2nd calc on the same multiplier - DO NOT change to the countback result. One digit stays in the brain's 'register' for both calcs - which makes it even faster. Calc the Make10 value in the 2nd step. This is not a calculation either for students expert at Make10 - it's "subitized".
For 9 x 4, count back the 4 to 3 for 30...and you Make10 out of the 4 with a 6. Answer: 36. Please share - been trying for 6 years and YT and others still have the finger calc and others. This is the fastest AND it helps build the Make10 skill...which is used for rounding, adding to subtract, making100, making1000,,,
I will share this information with my granddaughters when they are ready. Currently they are 2 and 5. Thank you!!!
Make sure the child is reviewing each set before you move on. You should give the child DAILY REVIEW of what they've learned the previous day/weeks. *I use math-drills.com to generate specific worksheets (it's free!)*
Average Paced Schedule:
[A child who knows some facts already can master this in 2-3 weeks]
Week 1: Zero Property, Commutative Property, Identity Property
Week 2: 2s, 5s, 10s, Review of commutative/identity/zero property, Start playing 3 is a magic number (3s)
Week 3: 3s, 11s, 9s pattern, Review of commutative
Week 4: 4s pattern, 6s pattern, Review of 9s pattern, Properties review
Week 5: 12s, 8x7, review of everything
Week 6: Increase speed, Review anything the child needs clarification on
Do weekly mixed problems to keep the information fresh!
I have 7 spots in my 3rd Grade Math class and 8 spots in my 4th Grade Math Class. We will be doing Envision, one of the top rated curriculums. I've been teaching Envision for years! You can sign up below. E-mail me with the subject "Math Class" to learn more information or with questions.

Thank you so much!
Thank you for the links.
I have a question: what would you do if a 3rd or 4th grader is expected to learn their times tables but they are still counting number bonds up to 20 with their fingers, and they cannot fill in a missing number of a number bond of 10 without drawing a number line or drawing an array, circling the known number and counting the rest?!
I have been showing my 3rd and 4th grade kids the same flashcards of additions to 20 every single day for 6 weeks but I see little improvement in speed, let alone adding the numbers in their head! Skip counting in 2s is no better, never mind doubling numbers...
Regardless, they are soon expected to find a common multiplier for adding unequivalent fractions...
You seem like a kind teacher who truly cares. Very sweet!
Girl you are awesome!!!!! Forget about my child I learned so much. I wish I knew all this growing up.
Now to get my 7 year old to learn their times table. Thanks for the tips and for taking the time to be so detailed. 😊
Your 9's trick blew my mind!! Thank you!!! Homeschooling mom here. I was weak in math. I will subscribe for more help in the future!!!
👍🏾 great way to teach kids and even adults who sometime cant remember multiplication
Thank you for all you do to educate the youth of today. YOU are teaching the future generations to think of math as fun. I wish I had a math teacher like you growing up.
This was basically how I was taught my multiplication tables 50 years ago. However, _after_ we went through this process we were given a sheet with 50 problems on it and we had 3 minutes to answer all the problems. If you answered all the problems in 3 minutes you got to go to recess. If you didn't then stayed inside and practiced. I stayed inside and practiced a lot, but I did eventually learn my times tables. Plus, practicing was just doing another sheet, so you only missed 3 or 4 minutes of recess if you didn't pass it the first time.
I'm teaching elementary for the first time this year after 30 years teaching 7-12th grade. Thanks for this "cheat code!" I'm encouraged that I did have the presence of mind to have my students requiring Tier 3 support to learn the 0-2, 5, 10s an 11s first. I'm NO MATH TEACHER but I understand you. Bless you Akeeba!!
The 9s learning is 👏 amazing 👏
I’m a mom of a 1 year old, haha preemptively brushing up my own knowledge and learning new methods from you before she’s preschool age
I knew i wasn't being taught correctly back then but those were times when children were seen & not heard.
Excellent video! You are a gifted teacher. I just wanted to add a tip that worked with my kids: after they can easily calculate the answers (eg by thinking 4x6 is double 2x6) I focus on pure memorization so that they don’t have to calculate anymore. Using flash cards or just verbal questions when driving around, if they miss one or if they are slow to respond, I make them say it out loud 5 times in a row. “Four times six is twenty four; four times six is twenty four…” and so on. Something about hearing their own voice say it really helps to retain the answer. I’m sharing this video with some other parents! Thanks for taking the time to put it together.
Very helpful, thank you so much for simplifying multiplication! I’m starting to home school my kids and videos like this are super helpful.
Wow when they said you learn something new everyday it’s really true. I’m an electronics engineer and actually learned so much from the video, thank you and keep up the good work❤
As an adult it finally clicked it’s all addition. I know the easy ones and just add or subtract off the ones I know. More and more now I can easily do it. But this taught me some new skills.
I left teaching after the pandemic and miss it sometimes. Watching this made me remember how much I loved it 🙏💕. I still love my mental health more 😂 Thanks for the trip down memory lane!
This healed my childhood ❤
As a teaching assistant I teach catch up after school on a 1 to 1 basis, usually to kids with SEN and it is hard trying to find ways to help the children access math. I will use your video as a teaching tool. I usually try and show the children a physical item: pens, sweets, apples because pictures or drawing items is too abstract for them to grasp. I also tell them times is the same as saying groups so 5x3 is 5 groups of 3, which can be shown using everyday items. The same strategy I also use for fractions:1/3 is 1 part of 3, 2/3 is 2 parts of 3 and 3/3 is 3 parts of 3 which makes 1 full portion or the whole part but the word whole can be a difficult word for them to understand.
thank you for these lessons. I've used your techniques with my nephew. it works
im Asian but was really bad at math, going against the stereotype 😅
😂😂😂
Thanks for this. I’m a teacher. I do much of this, but not all of it. I really like the idea of writing them all down, so students can see that they know more than they think they know. Thanks again!
Kudos! There is nothing like a good teacher. This lady is a gem.
Okayyyyy….I wish I had you as a teacher when I was in school! I’m a homeschooling mom of 6 now and the curriculum we are using they are trying to just memorize skip counting….and it’s not working very well. Saved this video! Thank you so much!
I wish I had this teacher growing up... 👏
Wow, just wow! I cannot for the life of me do math, and I have a 7 years old that I need to get on the math train. She is doing good so far, getting 90’s in her exams, however there’s so much more to learn. My child will become exceptionally gifted in doing math! 🙏🏾 THANK YOU MS MAZE!
P.s This breakdown blew my mind!
Yes the flip flop method I called it.
I started with factors 4 and 6. Their a pattern many don't catch it.
Jump to 7 and 8
9 the sum must equal 9 with added together.
10 count by 10 's
11 the number double until you reach numbers 10-12.
Skip count 2 's and 5's
Lastly 12 because it's really not many to learn just 12 × 12!
I homeschool and new some of these methods several I didn’t know wow thank you 😊
😊 love this…sent it to my grandson whose entering the 4th grade
Was thinking about teaching my child times table before the school year begins and coincidentally came across your video. And i think I'm gonna adopt your style. Thanks a lot, much appreciated and keep up the good work 👍♥️🙏💯
Why do I feel my granddaughter teacher failed her. I was using flash cards. I think this will be more helpful to her. Our lessons for the rest of the week. Thanks
😊 Homeschooling mom here! Thanks a million for taking the time to make share this. I am adopting this method to teach multiplication to my Littles. Blessings to you and yours.
May God bless you. Thank you.
Thank you so much. I have a fourth grader and a seventh -grader who are both having difficulties with multiplication facts. This video is so hopeful.
Thank you Akeeba Maze. You have solved the Problem.
Excellent!! I taught this way always had success! The students learn so much deeper for all of the concepts of math!!!!
This is wonderfully magical ✨️
