Thank you so much for your videos, I left school almost 10 years ago and have recently found myself having to try and re teach myself math again for a math exam for work, I have completely forgotten everything it seems from division to fractions to decimals etc. Your videos the last 2 days have literally helped me so much. Thank you!!

Thank you so much for showing the short/ simple version of this without all the messy calculations! I´m starting a maths teaching job and just can´t get to grips with the drop down method, then after watching this video I remembered that the short method is how I was taught in school and makes total sense! I don´t know why more people don´t just use this method, you have saved me lots of time bashing my head against a wall thank you !

Hi! My 5th grade teacher Mr Beaton taught us: Do My Sums Better! He was a tops teacher, I have remembered that since 1979, and now I'm teaching my own child these things! You make helpful videos, thanks✌🙂

Excellent Josh!! The way you showed the steps as they were being applied toward the long division method and how you apply those steps to each number respectively was just so simply helpful. I was familiar with the short cut way but not the long way showing all workings out as you go. Great explanation of both for my 9 year old Son as we get ready for his SAT’s 👍🏽

I love your videos. I am grateful for you. You have taught me 5 years of mathematics in 6 months. Please do a video on scale factoring.

[leonieone]

Wow! Great way of breaking it down compared to so many other videos! Thank you!. 😊

[listairgin]

Brilliant teaching! I missed this during school. Thank you so very much indeed. 🌠🌌🌅🕊👌

division is a challenge to many students, if they just practice these steps it would be a lot easier for them, thanks for sharing

[Quandale.dingle]

thank you sir, you have really helped me!

I also learned that you can tell real quick if a number is divisible by your first example, you had 762 divided by 3. We the way to check of it IS divisible by three is this: take the 762 and add all three digits together, if the sum is a product of three, then you are good. So 7+6+2=15 and 3×5 is 15 so you are good to go! Also, after you subtract, the remaining number MUST be smaller the the number of times you are dividing. So in the first example, if you used 1 and subtracted 3 from 7, you would be left with 4 and 4 is bigger than 3, so you are wrong.

Thanks! I was able to do this in 5th grade, but since it's been 24 years since then, I really needed the refreshment, cause I don't want to always rely on calculators, I wanna be able to do it in my mind (I'm on a diet, so calories counting involves A LOT of math lol)

Exactly Diving to multiplay to subtract to bring down yes we do that

[sugarstea]

Superb math teachings aside, your videos are great to watch because of your voice. It reminds me of the human version of Arona Dahl, a character in a computer game called Startopia.

Thank your sir!! It makes me ynderstand better

Use square paper when teaching children. Reason; you can’t deviate off line. It works wonders when doing decimals. Kids get it quicker & fully understand better. Put the decimal point in first. When subtracting, put a line under the two numbers being subtracted. It’s a simple pattern in their mind after a few practices. Hope this helps. Also, it looks much neater for the teacher marking it.
