I’m helping my niece with school and when she needed help with fractions I panicked lol so I came to the youtubes and found this guy. He taught me in 5 minutes what many teachers back in the day tried to teach me, and failed miserably, in whole school years lol. Oh I’ll be back I promise

You literally posted this when I needed help on it.

I always found math difficult but as I grew older I wanted to learn how. You have made what seemed hard for me to understand refreshingly simple. Thank you.

This method is still essentially the same as what I was taught at school with lowest common denominators (LCM) . In the first example, 12 *is* the LCM of 3 and 4. In the second, 15 *is* the LCM of 3 and 5. So I don't really see much difference here. It just bypasses finding the *lowest* common denominator and replaces it with the *easiest* one.

This approach could then give you difficulty with for example adding sixths and thirds, the LCM of which is 6, but we would end up with a denominator of 18 and the result would need reducing.

This is how I have always thought of doing fraction addition but you gave me such a good template to help out my family who are now homeschooling their children. A super concise and plain explanation of something I could hardly put into words. Thank you so much!

its amazing how you can come back after years of dreading maths in school to actually enjoying it and learning a great deal. I remember being a teen in high school and hating going to math class, now after watching your vids and many others, I am fascinated with maths and wish to learn more and more!

When I saw this come up on my feeds I remembered being scared of maths as a kid, consequently being ridiculed by my mum and dad and teachers couldn't help as I was so scared to learn!
I'm 45 now, and although I don't have to use much of this in my daily life, I'm going to try to teach myself again, and enjoy the practicals rather than be ruled by fear. Hope it helps the kids out there!

guys, im smiling so hard right now, i had a rollercoaster of emotions while studying, i decided to search this, and i literally did the maths, and this method is effective, REALLY effective

[powerofroses]

oh my god. i love fractions. especially the metaphor with the pizza between sharing it before ppl. i will be watching this and sharing it on my own. have a great start of the week.

[lampter]

You've helped me so much with my fractions over the past month. I'm so glad I found you.

[felicialewis]

What sorcery is this? I was taught a super long, hard way when I was in...not even going to call it school anymore.

[lucychristian]

So glad I found your channel. My son hated maths in school so am now homeschooling. With your video's im certain he will now be ahead of those actually in the school system!! Thank you!

[Mr_pimpdaddy]

I am in 6 th grade and I had no idea how to do this until this guy

[fidsta]

Thank you ! If only I had you as My maths teacher all those years ago ? I wouldn’t have been such a maths failure! Love you maths lessons! My 10 year old isn’t that keen on maths but actually enjoys your lessons 👍

This is Philippines and this is teaching for my homework thanks :)

[hannahnelson]

Thanks you’ve really helped me with adding fractions! 😊

[SharonDrummond-ulnj]

It’s a blessing to find this page. Why do you make it so easy. Never in my life, I was about to give up, so thank you such

[nadrahimchannel]

Thank you for this video. It really helped me in adding fractions. It's a very easy technic.:3 thx

[rachelfields]

I have a test on adding fractions this really helps thank you

Your dynamic math shortcuts are genius. The only thing I've seen that even approaches your insights was some "Vedic" math in a book called "The Daring Book for Girls." I wish I'd had your tutorials when I was going to school, 1959 - '71.
