Lord I wish I had teachers like you. So in my 20s I tried to go through college I had lots of hopes and dreams.Howeverof my inability to get math down correctly I failed my 99 algebra twice causing me to have to withdraw from college. I thought I wasn't smart in math so I was pretty much like most Americans it's the labor force for me. After 20 years in the labor force my back couldn't take it anymore. My kids were grown so I decided to go back to college to see if I could finally achieve my dream of at least an associate degree. Once again I am in that dreaded math class, and I come upon my worst fear fractions and integers. I excelled at everything else. I stumble across your video and you just unlocked like my biggest stumbling block. So sir when I graduate I sincerely have you to thank. Now I am going to binge watch all your videos and turn my greatest fears of math into my greatest achievement. If I had had teachers like you 20 years ago I could have been living my best life so long ago, without the injured back.❤❤❤❤

Good Luck! You can do it.

Professor let me just start by saying I was crying before I found your video. I was so overwhelmed and stressed out! You made it so easy and the fact that you incorporated MONEY... It's like you unlock something in my brain. I'm so grateful to you I hope you live for at least 500 years so, you can keep teaching us ,we really need you!! Love THE STUDENT ❤️

​@ivi122 amazing how just a simple technique can make things so clear....especially if you were taught the rules but still just didn't get it. The money rule will be taught to my stepdaughter!

This may be a help to students . There are two simple rules to remember: When you multiply a negative number by a positive number then the product is always negative. When you multiply two negative numbers or two positive numbers then the product is always positive.

How abt in subtracting

Thank you so much, 14 min of your youtube video teaches better than 1 hour of pain in math class, you just earned yourself a subscriber!

Thank you so much! I have decided to go back to school at 48, and I have forgotten so much! I'm getting ready for a college math entrance test, and I know what I'm doing, but I keep getting the wrong answer because I can't keep my positives and negatives straight. It's been so frustrating because I only have 4 days to get ready for this test, so thank God I found your video, this has saved me! YAY!

Hello John, I was looking at different videos on KZread (of course) & came across yours. I am out of college now but I SO WISH I saw these videos when I had to take math courses because I STRUGGLED, STRUGGLED in math especially when it went beyond simple addition, subtraction, multiplication & division!!!! Watching your videos makes math easy & I find myself WANTING to tackle math equations. Thank you SO MUCH for your patience, caring & your easy methods of handling math!!!!! Now when I need to handle math issues, I have your videos to assist me in conquering them! Again, THANK YOU SO MUCH, God bless you!!!!! :-)

Ikr i thought i was gonna fail my exam! Cuz tomorrow my exam but after seeing this video! I felt more confident bcz its easier now. Wish me luck for tmrw❤

The thing that helps me keep pos and neg numbers clear in addition and subtraction is to visualize a number line, each sign telling me the direction to move on the line.

I finally get this now. Thank you !!!

Thanks man this really helped 😊👍😉❤️

Ooh my god you are really legend because how many videos I saw that I don't know but your best skill of teaching way that was amazing

Life saver !!!!!!! Thanks !

Another simple way to handle negative numbers is as follows: 1) When adding a negative, move left on the number line. 2) When subtracting a negative, move right on the number line. This method provides an easy visual example for the student and aids in understanding an otherwise confusing lesson.

Yes, that is what I said about adding and subtracting; use the number line. I can remember the rule about the multiplication and subtraction, but I'm not seeing the logic.

Thank you for educating me.

Soooooo, what are the five concepts math students struggle with? This would be a great help to beginning teacher! Thank you!

thank you so much for this!

Preciate it was getting confused in class alot but I understand now

Thank you I needed this

Some people have trouble because + and - serve a dual function: 1) as numeral signs; and 2) as operational indicators. Perhaps a signless number should always be thought of as an absolute value.

Thanks so much using the $ sign was really helpful

This is the only video that has made any sense to me, thinking of it as money made the light bulb go on haha. Going to share with my class. thank you :)

Thank You very much professor

thank you,this was very helpful!

Great intro to signs 😊. But beware, a few years later you may encounter a+/- (no division, just write + on top of minus) = b-/+, (write - over +), realize this simple notation results in 4 equations to look at . Might even be worth a separate vid on this 🎉

Thank u so much

thanks this going to help

i finally understand tysm

i love him he is tooo good

Bro just saved my life

It's easier to think of the number line when adding and subtracting positives and negatives. I have to think about why it is different for multiplication and division. ( The answer is probably logical but I have to walk it through my brain) Your lessons are really helping me, but could you explain the logic regarding the rule in the multiplication and division?

I wish I knew this earlier! 😌

im a college student and this helped me so much

Thanks you that help me in gr 8 ty

You're really good at this! Thanks so much! But, what do I learn after negative numbers? I'm trying to teach myself math and I'm stuck.

Hallaaa thank youuu sir, now I know!!!

Great video! I'm in 8th grade and trying to memorize this.

I had an exam and I was still not clear with this topic. This video helped me pass my exam. THANK YOU!
