Hey, Glad2teach! You have given me hope that I can understand and operate math. Finding your vids. is perfect timing. At 44 I appreciate the need for maths more than I did in my school days. Please continue your work!
Man i love you, it took me 15 years of scool to learn some math, and you teached me in 3 minutes. I normaly hate everything wat comes with math but you make it so easy to learn, use and understand
In my opinion too, it is important that a student should memorize the times table till 20. To help those students who find it hard to do so , I use these EasyCal techniques to make their job easier and interesting :)
You are an unbelievable teacher. All these people that are complaining about what you should and should not say, would have students that would be lost in math. You on the other had make math fun and enjoyable, with makes learning easier and more exciting. Thank you!
@glad2teach Are you planning on making any more videos they really help me out alot thanks you should feel proud that you are making an impact in others people lives.
9s are easy. 9 times any number from 2 to 9 must equal nine. For example 9x4=36..3+6= 9. Also the first number will be 1 lower than the number multiplied by 9. 9×8 8-1=7 ..7+2 =9. So now you know your 9s.
Agreed !! However if you take Math as an interesting challenge for your mind ( just like we do with Sports and Video Games ) then you would surely 'enjoy' the difficulties Mathematics throws at you. All the Best -- Shahryar Badar Khan ( Glad2teach )
uhm may i ask u sumthing? 1) are u using paint? 2) what program u using for recording your voice 3) when will u make a tutorial for fast multiplication of 1000 and above... yea i know 2/3 of the 3 questions are not related to math but i really need the answer for #3
Dear almallegra, thanks for your kind appreciation. People from world over have found this EasyCal Video useful and have given it a thumbs up ( 480 likes Vs 28 dislikes ). Those 28 people found this technique too basic ( read: childish) and insulting for their Mathematical ego. They already know their table of 9 and think so does everyone else.
They are 9 and 11. We are really behind in math and I'd love to get them caught up. They have had a hard time remembering the math facts, so we have moved really slowly. I've got to get my daughter (11) on long division and my son (9) on multiplication. We spent time in a "brain training" program this past school year that has helped a lot, not we need to begin moving forward. Does this course go over the "Base" concepts you talk about in detail? Would this program be a good fit?
Thanks so much for the trick. Can this trick work with different number? Here you use 9 * X. Will this trick still work if you replace 9 with a different number?
Mathematics is indeed an easy subject if learnt the right way ! You can visit the glad2teach website ( link below this video ) and learn more such tricks ( 3 more EasyCal Videos are there )
I always hated math in school. Wow! It's never too late to learn! Thank you, glad2teach!!! I'm actually having fun with your videos and I'm so suprised by it!
I have tried to buy the download of your program for my kids. But the links aren't working. Do you have a new site where I can buy this? Please advise me how I can purchase this.
Sorry if you take my comment as something negative, but i'm just saying the truth about me, finger folding times table has been taught by my primary school teacher as a general knowledge kind of thing.Your other videos are very helpful, my colleagues were amazed that calculations can actually be simplified by so much! Appreciate your efforts in sharing with us vedic math.
@vangelof I think this is just a trick that only works with numbers multiplied by 9. It's a neat trick. It's just limited. You have to look at some of the other trick lessons for the numbers you mentioned. This is just a cool one that works specifically for problems involving multiplication by 9.
Dear yassigole, I was just pulling your leg. After a long time I got an opportunity to do that. My sincere gratitude for all the good things you have said about me. As far as the issue of 'poor' drawing goes -- Try drawing on your computer with a mouse !! Even Picasso would draw like a 3 year old ... lol
@glad2teach I subscribed to your videos already. I'm majoring in math and I want to perfect these before I move on to higher courses. Thank you so much.
OMG! Why didn't anyone ever teach me this trick when I was a kid?!! I am 40 years old now and have NEVER seen this before. This is amazing! Too bad I already have my 9's table memorized, otherwise, I'd have fun 'cheating' with this method! This is cool! Thank you for sharing.
@glad2teach i find your videos on on math helpful and my moms paypal accounts freezed so i cant buy the video to save on my computer :/ but i was trying to get the videos to learn some of the algebra im doin now so i can hurry up and graduate is their another way to get it or just pay with a card
Skyhighparker, you said it all. So now we know why human fingers or toes are also called digits . Perhaps they were always intended to be used like the calculator . Think about it .....
I learned this as a child and always loved it. I wish I had had learned your other lessons way earlier than today:) Awesome help in your other lessons, I'm looking for your cube root trick... Can't find and need:)LOL Thank you for the posts!
@tybash It's very simple, adding a zero to that number is multiplying it by 10. Multiplying a number by 9 is multiplying it by one less then ten. So... 9a=10a-a=9a
sorry mate, am trying to do 6 x 3 using my hands, but the answer was "27" which is wrong. could you please explain further , bty .... i have five fingers in each hand in case if you wondering. thanks
n = any number for 9: 10 x n - n, same as 9 x n for 5: n/2 x 10, same as 5 x n i dont really know if you can call any math tricks "tricks", all they are is rephrasing the equation into something that processes a bit smoother in your head.
i have another method that i learned myself before wathing this. It is very close to this one. lets take 7x9. first you see what you are multiplycin with. its 7. then you take 1 from it. thats 6. then you know it will be 6- and something else. But the first and second number will be 9, if you set them together. so what you then need is 3. that means that the number is 63. Could you use this?
@judy1445 Label your thumbs on both hands as 6 and index fingers as 7 etc. Now touch your #6 finger with the #7 finger of your hand ther. Your inside fingers count as 10. And your outside fingers you multiply together. You should have 3 outside fingers on one hand and 4 on the other. 3x4=12. Now add that to your 3 inside fingers (the touching fingers count) and that gives us 30+12=42. So our answer for 6 x 7 is 42.
thanks , but if you try 3 times 6, it cames out wrong i tryed to use this methood it works for other once but am have prolems with 3 times 6 can you clear my up thanks
I just checked the paypal and e-junkie download links. They are working well. You may try again. How old are you kids (in which class are they studying ?)Shahryar Badar Khan (Glad2teach)
how would this work with 8x4...you would put down ur fourth finger and have 3 fingers up on one side and six on the other.. 8x4=32 not 36 and for the comment below me adding 0 then subtracting by the number.. what about 18x14?= 18x 14 = 140-14= 126..while 18x14 is actually 252..so if u have to multiply by 2 when and how often is it nessary...
@judy1445 instead u will label ur left pinky to thumb 123 etc,u should do the same pinky finger L &R should be 6 ring finger l&r should be 7 and the rest are just the same then just do the same thing on that video for example:7 x 6=? so pinky (left or right) and ring finger (left or right)you should make it touch each other so it is 2 plus one in its bottom so 3 ,4x3=12 so carry 1 to 3 so its 4 so the final answer is 42...sorry i can't make a video
You have great observation !! However if you look closely you'll realise that palms of the hands are towards you.. thus absolutely normal. By the way, I indeed have two right hands ... as I am ambidextrous and I have two left feet .... as I cannot dance ... lol
Wow, this is great. Even though I consider myself a pretty intelligent guy, I've always had problems memorising the times tables by rote. I wish I'd been taught this, as counting the remaining fingers is instant with only a bit of practice.
actually, i think i have a quicker trick. ex 9 x 7=? so i do 7 x 10=70 70 -7 =63 and it's actually very fast and less "childish" than counting fingers. i appreciated your videos they do help a lot when you get to more complicated thing...
cool way to multiply with 9, however in my head one other way works. every number you multiply with 9 just add 0 behind it and subtract the same number eg. 9x1= 10-1 =9 9x5= 50-5 =45 9x7= 70-7 =63 so, whatever is easier to you works, for me it's easier to subtract in my head cuz sometimes i have a something in my hands and can't take a look ;)
holy crap, i just realized that ive been using the base 10 trick for 9's since fifth grade and i never knew it! whats amazing is that i just found it out by myself
whats that O.o we know thats is a simple multiplication math ,(for some of course) BUT but , the strategy !!! you are amazing sir . i had got those multiplication numbers by heart when i was in school . i will use this technique to educate my children when i get some
I am extremely bad at math now, but back in elementary school, I developed for me by myslef even easier way to multiple one digit numbers by 9, without using fingers or remembering anything. It just goes like that: 8-1 = 7, so the first digit of answer is 7. How many left to ten? Eight plus TWO is ten, so the second digit is 2. The answer = 72.
Nice. Here is another way. Each number multiplied by 9 has two digits. The first digit has 1 subtracted from the number being multiplied and the 2nd digit is the number needed to add to 9. Examples: 9x6= 6-1=5 the second digit is 5+?=9 answer is 4 thus 54. 9x6=54 check by adding 5+4=9. Next 9x1=09, 9x4=36. Easy isn't it?
Before I knew my nines I just subtracted 1 from the number being multiplied by nine, then add another digit to make both add up to 9. Ex: 9(3), 3-1= 2, another digit to add to 2 that makes nine is 7. 9(3)=27
to multiply by 9: ie: 9x7. Number which is not 9 (7) - 1 = 6 < First number. Second number = difference between first number (6) and 9, or in this case, 3. So: 9x7=63
Dear osnai12345 , I did say to memorize the times table of 9 by heart . In this video I have just covered 9s table. The technique of using fingers for multiplication was developed by Russian peasants .
Hey, Glad2teach! You have given me hope that I can understand and operate math. Finding your vids. is perfect timing. At 44 I appreciate the need for maths more than I did in my school days. Please continue your work!
Certainly very useful !! Anyone who is good with subtraction should use your method.
Man i love you, it took me 15 years of scool to learn some math, and you teached me in 3 minutes. I normaly hate everything wat comes with math but you make it so easy to learn, use and understand
In my opinion too, it is important that a student should memorize the times table till 20. To help those students who find it hard to do so , I use these EasyCal techniques to make their job easier and interesting :)

uhm may i ask u sumthing?
1) are u using paint?
2) what program u using for recording your voice
3) when will u make a tutorial for fast multiplication
of 1000 and above...
yea i know 2/3 of the 3 questions are not related to math
but i really need the answer for #3

your 9's are easy to remember here:
9 18 27 36 45 then its like a mirror,45=54 36=63 27=72 18=81 9=90 See the mirroring of the nine X tables?
I have tried to buy the download of your program for my kids. But the links aren't working. Do you have a new site where I can buy this? Please advise me how I can purchase this.
Thanks !! It seems you are the only person out of 632,880 viewers who understood my joke .. lol
@glad2teach sir do you also know stuff about code breaking. and if so can you teach that as well.thankyou
Sorry if you take my comment as something negative, but i'm just saying the truth about me, finger folding times table has been taught by my primary school teacher as a general knowledge kind of thing.Your other videos are very helpful, my colleagues were amazed that calculations can actually be simplified by so much!

How do you develop these tricks?! I am extremely interested in knowing.
Dear yassigole, I was just pulling your leg. After a long time I got an opportunity to do that. My sincere gratitude for all the good things you have said about me.

@Julumkana - more useful than just knowing your times tables?
loved your accent and your shortcuts in maths. Going to teach my son. Thanks
Your Math trick's make a lot of sence, I could not do math that well until I saw your video's
Hi.....how about 7x8 and 8x7 I think it is easy for you..
shanushanu2009 , I think video is self-explanatory. If you fold the 10th finger , 9 fingers would be left on one side and none on the other.
@glad2teach i find your videos on on math helpful and my moms paypal accounts freezed so i cant buy the video to save on my computer :/ but i was trying to get the videos to learn some of the algebra im doin now so i can hurry up and graduate is their another way to get it or just pay with a card
@valentin19ag , I did mention in the video that this EasyCal trick is to learn the times table of 9 by hand
Skyhighparker, you said it all. So now we know why human fingers or toes are also called digits .
Perhaps they were always intended to be used like the calculator . Think about it .....
this means the childhood to me. I like the way you teach math.
Yup can you do somevideo to know which oriented angle(vectors) to solve a problem? please
What program are you using to animate/draw while you teach?
I learned this as a child and always loved it. I wish I had had learned your other lessons way earlier than today:) Awesome help in your other lessons, I'm looking for your cube root trick... Can't find and need:)LOL Thank you for the posts!
Thank you.but what about the 1*1,2*2,3*3,4*4 and so on....by just using also our fingers?
@tybash It's very simple, adding a zero to that number is multiplying it by 10. Multiplying a number by 9 is multiplying it by one less then ten. So... 9a=10a-a=9a
what is your age now. 7 and half.
sorry mate,
am trying to do 6 x 3 using my hands, but the answer was "27" which is wrong.
could you please explain further ,
bty .... i have five fingers in each hand in case if you wondering.
thanks
@amjPeace , my question is can you really fold your toes at will ... : )
If you can then the method should work
you totally blew my mind, this is so usful, dhanyavad.
n = any number
for 9: 10 x n - n, same as 9 x n
for 5: n/2 x 10, same as 5 x n
i dont really know if you can call any math tricks "tricks", all they are is rephrasing the equation into something that processes a bit smoother in your head.
Thank you thank you thank you. No one has ever taught me this
i have another method that i learned myself before wathing this. It is very close to this one.
lets take 7x9. first you see what you are multiplycin with. its 7. then you take 1 from it.
thats 6. then you know it will be 6- and something else. But the first and second number will be 9, if you set them together. so what you then need is 3. that means that the number is
63. Could you use this?
My dad taught me, when I was a little kid that 9X is the same as 10X - X. So 9 * 44 = 440 - 44 = 396. That have helped me a lot to remember.
@judy1445
Label your thumbs on both hands as 6 and index fingers as 7 etc.
Now touch your #6 finger with the #7 finger of your hand ther. Your inside fingers count as 10. And your outside fingers you multiply together. You should have 3 outside fingers on one hand and 4 on the other. 3x4=12. Now add that to your 3 inside fingers (the touching fingers count) and that gives us 30+12=42. So our answer for 6 x 7 is 42.
LMAO> you're so funny and smart professor. I was laughing at 'counting your fingers on your feet' part.
This doesn't work on 6 X 6, or you have another trick for that?
thanks , but if you try 3 times 6, it cames out wrong i tryed to use this methood it works for other once but am have prolems with 3 times 6 can you clear my up thanks
hi , i have done this multiplication with 8 by 2 . but it is giving the wrong answer, its give the ans 18. can u please explain it. thanks
DUDE THAT'S SO USEFUL, THANK YOU
Sometimes I forget the tables so I can use this method
is this only for the 9x tables?
YOUR Brilliant!! Need more teachers like you!
Thank you so much for these wonderful videos!
OMG, I hate maths. But since I saw your video; I became love maths. you are really an Angel. GBU.
I just checked the paypal and e-junkie download links. They are working well. You may try again. How old are you kids (in which class are they studying ?)Shahryar Badar Khan (Glad2teach)
how about another tables? it can be used the same concept?
what should i do if i want to multiply 7 and 7 together
how would this work with 8x4...you would put down ur fourth finger and have 3 fingers up on one side and six on the other.. 8x4=32 not 36 and for the comment below me adding 0 then subtracting by the number.. what about 18x14?= 18x 14 = 140-14= 126..while 18x14 is actually 252..so if u have to multiply by 2 when and how often is it nessary...
what about 8*6,can you show it by the fingers?
This is a really good trick for kids, they will find it very very useful.
which is your first video ?
is this you? or are you taking the videos from their website?
Dear Kidwarped , glad that you found these Easycal videos useful.
Wow amazing...... Maza aa gya
wow.. you draw well too with a mouse. multi talented genious. thanks for sharing this trick with us.
@Julumkana I would think just knowing your times tables would come a lot quicker than it just being in your hands. But that's just me.
this trick is not applicable to some multiplication equation such as 6 x 6, 7 x 7 ?!? how can u show the answer with this equation? i am confused....
@XxShiZzle786xXmk
Doesn't work.
Try 4x9= 90 -9= 81.
On the other hand 9x4 = 40 - 4 which is the correct answer, 36.
Explain please. i don't get it.
I love your videos... Your voice is so soothing.. and I learn AWESOME stuff! :-D Thank you!
@judy1445 instead u will label ur left pinky to thumb 123 etc,u should do the same
pinky finger L &R should be 6 ring finger l&r should be 7 and the rest are just the same then just do the same thing on that video for example:7 x 6=? so pinky (left or right) and ring finger (left or right)you should make it touch each other so it is 2 plus one in its bottom so 3 ,4x3=12 so carry 1 to 3 so its 4 so the final answer is 42...sorry i can't make a video
You have great observation !! However if you look closely you'll realise that palms of the hands are towards you.. thus absolutely normal.

Awesome tricks Sir g
actually, i think i have a quicker trick. ex 9 x 7=? so i do 7 x 10=70 70 -7 =63 and it's actually very fast and less "childish" than counting fingers. i appreciated your videos they do help a lot when you get to more complicated thing...
what proggram is this i really want to know
are you solve using this method success fully???
how to calculate the 8x8 by fingure.....?
cool way to multiply with 9, however in my head one other way works.
every number you multiply with 9 just add 0 behind it and subtract the same number
eg.
9x1= 10-1 =9
9x5= 50-5 =45
9x7= 70-7 =63
so, whatever is easier to you works, for me it's easier to subtract in my head cuz sometimes i have a something in my hands and can't take a look ;)
Glad you liked it !!
"fingers on your feet" was suppose to be a joke [ An educated man's joke ].
Perhaps next time I will try the blonde ones :)
this can do with 9 only right??
this works only with "9" ?? what about 7x7 or4x4 ???
holy crap, i just realized that ive been using the base 10 trick for 9's since fifth grade and i never knew it! whats amazing is that i just found it out by myself
what is answer of 8*8 using your cal....
whats that O.o we know thats is a simple multiplication math ,(for some of course) BUT but , the strategy !!! you are amazing sir . i had got those multiplication numbers by heart when i was in school .
i will use this technique to educate my children when i get some
I have understood it perfectly ,thanks.
got any tips on the 6,7 n 8's?
Can you tell me the
8x8= how can i do it plz thanks sir.
you are genius mate, I like the way you do your videos! :-)
I am extremely bad at math now, but back in elementary school, I developed for me by myslef even easier way to multiple one digit numbers by 9, without using fingers or remembering anything.

How will u solve this?
12x8
A very good maths lesson
Before I knew my nines I just subtracted 1 from the number being multiplied by nine, then add another digit to make both add up to 9.
Ex: 9(3), 3-1= 2, another digit to add to 2 that makes nine is 7.
9(3)=27
How do you explain 270*9?
to multiply by 9:
ie: 9x7. Number which is not 9 (7) - 1 = 6 < First number.
Second number = difference between first number (6) and 9, or in this case, 3.
So: 9x7=63
It cut off. :( i need to find a computer to go to the website. My ipod won't work...
Dear osnai12345 , I did say to memorize the times table of 9 by heart . In this video I have just covered 9s table. The technique of using fingers for multiplication was developed by Russian peasants .
i luv your tricks...
