Glad to realize I was not going crazy when I noticed a minor error and thought I was wrong at first on #2. Don’t sweat the small stuff making mistakes. We all make them and if you don’t make mistakes, you aren’t doing anything. Thanks for the video.

    I am 71 years old and loving every minute of your exercises. I am impressed at how much I remember. I was above average in maths at school, but not good enough to successfully pass my maths "O" level as it was called at the time. I think you must be a good teacher because I feel really motivated and can follow. I did notice you made a small mistake in number 2 but please take your mistake as a compliment because I was following you so closely with TOTAL enjoyment. Also, I have a question. When I went on line I found a chart with BIDMAS/BODMAS and "your" PEMDAS but I noticed that with the BIDMAS & the BODMAS the division comes before the multiplication. Why ? I thought the order of execution was universal? Again, please take this as a compliment because I am enjoying every moment of your exercises. I have even bought myself an exercise book and have subscribed. And guess what ? I am an ex-teacher (but not maths LOL).

      @@barbarajoycemartin-dowell3138 This is a big part of the problem. We don't understand and the teacher gets irritated (not all of them of course) and maybe makes a remark or whatever and that subject becomes a source of stress for us and then becomes a stress fixation and is virtually "finished" for us. I don't know what the solution is.

    • @firstinthedance
      @firstinthedance 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      The important thing in the order of operations is to remember that first you address whatever is in parenthesis, then you address any exponents. Then you think of division and multiplication as a single step, meaning that you work the equation from left to right, doing any multiplication or division as you come to it in the equation. You do whichever of the two comes first in the equation. After you do the multiplication and/or division, you do the addition and/or subtraction as a single step, again working from left to right, doing whichever comes first.

It should have been 3 1/3. (2) You had 3 1/2 ÷ 2 1/3 = 7/2 ÷ 7/2 but it should have been 7/2 ÷ 7/3. I just felt the urge to bring it to your attention. Keep up the good work!!

  • @peterduffy5388
    @peterduffy5388 3 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    When simplifying proper fractions I always taught my students to find the highest common number that would go into both the numerator and the denominator. That way you could arrive at a fraction in its lowest terms

    • @user-iq6fn5cm7q
      @user-iq6fn5cm7q 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      HOW TO SIMPLIFY FRACTIONS THE EASIEST WAY:
      If the difference between the numerator and denominator is 1, the fraction cannot be simplified.
      A. Ask: does the numerator go into the denominator evenly (i.e. without any remainder)?
      If yes, proceed to B.
      If not, proceed to C.
      B. Great! The simplest fraction is 1 over the number of times the numerator fits in the denominator. (e.g. 20/60, 20 fits evenly 3 times, hence 1/3.)
      C. Write the remainder, (e.g. 20/46, (20 fits 2 times in 46, with a remainder of) 6.) to the right of the fraction, and ask: does the remainder go evenly into the numerator?
      If yes, proceed to D.
      If not, proceed to E.
      D. Great! The "remainder" is the Greatest Common Factor. Divide both the numerator and denominator by the GCF/remainder to have the simplest fraction.
      E. Write the "new remainder" (using the last example, 20/46, 6 fits into 20 with a "new remainder" of 2) to the right of the previous "remainder", and ask: does the "new remainder" fit evenly into the previous "remainder" (2 into 6)?
      If yes, proceed to D.
      If not, proceed to E.

      High good luck years needed algebra to graduate from college. I took remedial math, got my confidence and love of math. Found a great instructor for algebra and passed. Good luck.

    An incoming college students and just a really clear understanding of this lesson. I finally grasped the concept and it sounds funny but I am thankful.

    I don't know how I went on from algebra to advanced placement calculus in high school. My algebra was so poorly understood (I was very good with geometry). I think I just hung out with smart nerds, who let me cheat off of them. It scarred my psyche. I had recurrent nightmares for years where I would be back in 12th grade high school having to take a math exam that would allow me to graduate. Going through your videos is like seeing a therapist. And it is so much fun. Thank you.
