✅ Thanks so much for watching!
✅ More square root videos in the description.
✅ Remember, perfect squares (also known as square numbers) are products of integers multiplied by themselves. For example 9 and 36 are perfect squares. 9 is the product of 3x3 and 36 is the product of 6x6. A counter example would be 15. 15 is NOT a perfect square. We can not multiple an integer by itself and get 15.
✅ The first twelve perfect squares are: 1x1=1, 2x2=4, 3x3=9, 4x4=16, 5x5=25, 6x6=36, 7x7=49, 8x8=64, 9x9=81, 10x10=100, 11x11=121, 12x12=144.
✅ Remember, when you multiply a number by a square root, you can put the number next to the square root like in the video. A number next to a square root means to multiply.

I am a 24 year old going back to college and wanting to brush up on stuff I’ve forgotten. Math was always my worst subject. Your videos have helped me more than anything ever has. I’m finally understanding what I spent years misunderstanding. Thank you so much!

I swear this dude makes everything so much easier I’ve watched every video about simplifying square roots and this is the first time I understood it.

Math has plagued me, specifically fractions, square roots, and decimals since the 3rd grade. I'm several decades past 3rd grade and FINALLY got it. I can now confidently help my daughter with her math homework thanks to you!! Thank you so very much Mr. J!! A great teacher makes a world of difference! 🙂

It’s sad that this man is trying to help people but his videos aren’t getting a lot of views

[jonathancobb]

if my teacher assigns me a math video to watch at home i ignore the video and see if mr.j has what i need. you're a great teacher mr.j keep it up

[EVETHAFIRSTLADY]

Thank you I’m a returning college student. And I hated math because I could not understand it. I’m now giving it another try after many years I ran across your page and I’m thankful. You have been helping me big time .

Thank you for your clear videos. As I help my daughter with her algebra there are often topics that she struggles with. Jumping online to watch your short videos often helps her "get it." And also reinforce the methods I was already trying to show her. ;)

Thank you mr.j because I learned this in 2 minutes and 3 seconds

[rainsounds]

[bpashupalak]

Thank you for helping me prepare for sixth grade I would not have gone to seventh grade without you helping me prepare prior

[freshvybe]

Thank You so much. You explained it better with 4 problems, than my teacher did with 30 problems. Thanks again you've earned a sub ❤

[avahlackey]

[kennyberry]

Anyone else hear the Chalkboard in the back ground that makes this video so much better

This videos help us to clear all the concepts we should wall all these videos to understand the basic concepts of maths like square roots I hope that many views should come in this video and he should deserve it truly

[nikkitytom]

Another lesson gem from this superb teacher. The alternate answer to the second example is pure math magic as it resolves into the same final answer.
I’m becoming addicted to math … and Mr. J 🙏🏼
