This video was so helpful. I had to learn this to help my daughter with her homework. Other videos did not help, we kept getting wrong answers....we got 8/8!!! Thank you!

I gotta say, even though I already basically understood what the long multiplication was doing, and basically do the same thing whenever I do mental multiplication, seeing it laid out like this gives me renewed respect for it. It's really an ingenious little algorithm for quickly computing a product by hand.

That's pretty amazing. I wish we would have learned math this way when I was a kid, I know I would've picked up math more intuitively.

Thank you it worked for homework for face to face school⚡️

[dixeannhutchinson]

thanks! it was really helpful for me to understand 2 digit by 2 digit!!!

[gracenjenga]

this is a very helpful video that helps for studying

I’m doing this for school work but it’s covid 19 anyone else

Anyone make a "multiplication with the area model" t-shirt? I think the visual of connecting this to the standard algorithm is super compelling, especially with color coding for each of the partial products. I'd be stoked to wear that on my back!

My math cllub teach uses your videvs for math

The graph paper explanation is a good tool to understand what a number represents as far as One's, Ten's, Hundred's, etc however, this should of already been taught when teach basic Addition and Subtraction.  Once again educators are trying to put the cart before the horse.

all other videos about this say that this for 3rd and 4th graders, i'm struggling with this and i graduated high school last week

[vnnyboy]

Excellent... Crystal clear concepts :D

[kphilipps]

I do it a little different so can u try 2 do other ways The good thing that you are the only one I trust with my homework!!

[mrsouthpaw]

...and that just added two extra steps to the math problem.

Who are seeing this video in lock down time give one like

[toixicclan]

This getting 400, 000 views cause of COVID 19😅😂

[blossomaaron]
