    I find it hilarious that when your students go "Oohh" and "Aahh" because they realize how to solve it; I find myself doing the same behind my computer screen. Excellent video! Thank you so much :D

    hey @shortfilmz123 ! So glad to hear from you and thank you for your kind words. I'm definitely doing what I can to visit schools and in fact, I'll be doing a little bit of that in April when I'm visiting Chicago. Where is your school located? Do you think your teacher/administration would also be interested in having me come by? Please let me know via email at Robert@yaymath.org I'm very excited to get the ball rolling on this! YayYOU!

    Thank you so much for sharing your love for teaching! I am actually trying to prepare for Praxis I and math is not my best side. lol I have pretty much tried everything that the world wide web has to offer, Your videos are my pick for the simple fact that you explain each step along with answering questions the class may ask. OF course your humor is always appreciated!! Thanks so much! I will rock it out with Kindergarten one day!

    The videos are great and its amazing how excited youre students seem to learn math. However, I think one step you could explain to make nth root equations easier is to show that the nth root of a number X, is the same as X to the power of (1/n). To me it is easier to understand that the cubed root of X^6 = X^(6/3) or X^2 rather than thinking "what" x "what" x "what" = X^6. Not only does it explain the actual math behind nth root problems but once learned can lead to quicker answers. Good Luck
