I wish I had math teachers / Instructors throughout my education where I had to take math, that they actually took the time and explained things just like you do. I can't tell you that was one of the biggest challenges I had with math instructors. Thank GOD I came across your channel! You are AMAZING!! Thank you👍😃

I am a parent and I just want to say thank you!!! Your videos have helped him son so much.They are a lifesaver.Even his math teacher uses your in class.cant thank you enough 🙏

Im taking my math placement test tomorrow for 7th grade and was scrambling for a video to help me understand it more, this literally explained more in 8 minutes than my teacher did in 3 weeks worth! Thanks mr J!

You have been the ONLY person to help me understand math; my biggest fear since 7th grade! I am now 69 years old. You have no idea just how much this means to me. I wish you had books where I could practice what you teach. Thank you so very much. I have cried many tears trying to learn algebra. I knew I needed to go back to a certain grade to learn the instrumental lessons, but never could figure out where to start. My daddy, Bless his heart, would be so proud of me. If you ever make books to follow, I would love to buy them. Again, you have mo idea how much this is helping me with feeling ignorant.

For over thirty years I have struggled with this, but with your video it all became so crystal clear for me. How surreal is that? Finally, a teacher who does not slur in an expeditious manner just trying to crank out the problems. You took your time, spoke clear and concise, and still managed to turn this into a brief but effective video. Thank you.

I’m sitting here trying to get my business license and ran into some Pemdas equations. I never thought I’d understand until I saw this video. Thank you!

Brother, you are doing such great work. Having not done any real math in a time (35 years), this is such a HUGE HELP!
Thank You, Thank You, Thank YOU!

Love doing these . Im 59yrs old and never got it at school 30plus years ago. Now in my Autumn years, im an expert thanks to Mr J.😊😊

[michaelgonzalez]

Thank you, Mr. J! These videos are so helpful for my students when working at home on assignments.

My comment is not a critique of Mr. J but of the system of education that fails students in math. The order of operations is a simple notion that a big portion of our graduating seniors do not understand--I am speaking from experience. Acronyms like PEMDAS, FOIL, and alike are obscuring the mathematical reasoning where learning what the letters in an acronym mean is time spent wastefully if not harmfully. In my opinion the order of operations should be presented as follows. If there was no agreement on the relative priority of operations parentheses would have to be used for grouping. But that could cause a lot of clutter. Therefore mathematicians agreed that operations of higher complexity should have higher priority. The simplest operations are addition and subtraction therefore they should have the lowest priority. Next come multiplication and division and powers have the highest complexity. Knowing this, the order of operations can be explained simply as follows. The higher the complexity of operation the higher the priority, parentheses trump the priority. Saying it this way one can also see the reason for this convention. If in doubt, use parentheses.

Thank you for making this video! I'm going into the 8th grade soon and I skipped a lot of 7th grade so I'm using your videos to catch up on math!

I am an Adult, really glued to your Vedios.You are an amazing teacher, I like the way you explain everything

[giovannicardona]

Im in the 5th grade and the teachers at school are way different than what this guy teaches one day we are learning the basics and the next we are on to decimals and fractions in pemdas i cant say that this video is getting me through the semester but it did help me out so thank you mr. j

[latoyahodges]

Thank you soo much! I have been struggling with this

[xfxjodm]

i wish all maths teachers explained and took their time like you do!

[ALFE_]
