I just watched this now out of bordem during a study break because it came up in my suggestions - I used to watch your videos a long time ago Mario and you helped me a lot, its 4 years on and I'm now in my final year of a degree in Mathematics and I don't think I would have gotten where I am if I didn't have the strong foundations you teach! Keep up the good work! :)

My teacher is the best he thought me all of thissss

I remember my teacher from 5th grade taught me this method to multiply since I was having trouble with the usual multiplication method. *(Which I still don't know how to do and I'm a freshman)*
