  • 1:08 deviding between simon and lewis (from the yogscast).

  • Thats weird,I look just like that! this khan guy knows everything. =P

  • Lol Tetris Math

  • your bell peppers and raspberries look the same

  • your awsom at drawing people

  • Thanks sal that was absolutey fantastic! I am old enough to be bald! I still learnt about divsion! I am not bald but great 2 second drawing btw!

    Hey if your a 2 nd grader and your having dificulty with division congrats you can fail it and you will still get good it! And bonus comfort here your learning it first time round!

    I am an old fart and i am still learning it!

  • wow u draw really good

  • I'm in College right now, and am actually learning things watching a guy do simple single digit division. There is something wrong with our education system. Too impersonal, and too focused on the teachers instead of the student.

  • Nice. I like how you drew the people

  • I LOVE HOW YOU SAY GROUPS AND AWESOME VIDEO YOU ARE A REALLY GOOD EXPLAINER AND A REALLY REALLY GOOD DRAWER KEEP UP THE GOOD VIDEO KHAN!!!!!! I LOVE YOU!!! :)

  • This guy is amazing. I never thought of doing division like he teaches on the 2nd part by putting them in groups. I wish this was around when I was a kid. This guy is so brilliant that Bill Gates is backing him. That says it all right there.

  • I'm in engineering calculus 2 in college now, and never learned how to do long division properly, or just the method around 15:24

  • "That's my rendition of George Washington on the quarters" rofl

  • I was trying to teach my 7 year old division .I just couldnt explain it to her. Last night we went through your video and I UNDERSTOOD how to teach in a simple fashion.

    Thank you very much!

  • khan u rock!!!

  • i usu be a divison wizz in 5th grade and then thru 6-8 it was unecisary and last year t0 NOW IN TENTH I TOTALY FORGOT LOL THANKS ALOT!!

  • I've been using your videos / website as refreshers for college to try to ween myself off of calculators.

    After being allowed to use them from elementary - high school I found myself in a very dicey situation when the math instructor said there was a no calculator policy. But now that is not the problem! Thank you very much Khan!

  • awesome drawing

  • big nose, sideburns and a beard, eh? He's JEWISH!!!

  • Khan ur my hero

  • his voice really charming i can sleep listening while he explain things uhh so comfortble.....

  • Wonderful presentation and unbelievable vision to create this academy.

    My only concern is that a promoted video that popped up on the screen next to your video was not the kind of advertising that you want your young students to be seeing. I don't know if you have any control over what is advertised on YouTube, but I did want you to know what is appearing. Thank you for your commitment to education. You are correct that your ability to make a difference lies in this endeavor.

    betteralma

  • I swear, teaching math to me, was like speaking in a foreign language. You make it so simple. I'm 23, and I'm just getting refreshers, from your lessons, for college. Thanks for making knowledge free, and available to all. Keep up the work.

  • you discribe video's in a way people understand and unlike teachers you dont yell at kids

  • do you care if i take your vids for free? i do't whant to pay .99

  • Hey! How do you get to know that I am bold and old?

  • @karevkarev because He is a genius.He know everything and everyone in this world..BTW he said bald not bold...

  • your trying to teach something differently than intented. your not dividing four into groups of people. counting systems are designed to make a map of your inventory to do away with oral memorization. your dividing four into multiples of two and simply showing how may times you can multiply (repeatedly add) two to make four or how many multiples of two four divides into.. hope that helps make division a bit clearer.

  • Comment removed

  • just remember gang division is basic multiplication not the inverse. your simply asking how close can you multiply the number your dividing by and reach the number your dividing.

  • thats when a whole number answer. i believe whomever came up with the . decimal system did not recognize that correctly.

  • if your going to do the problem as repeated subtraction 4/2=? how many times can you subtract 2 from 4 till you reach zero. 4-2=2-2=0, you can subtract 2 twice from 4. this becomes inane at even small large number amounts and multiplication est. is a better way to come up with the answer.

  • any easy way of looking at it is 6/2=? is asking 2 x __ =6 6/2=3 because two will add repeatedly to make six three times 2+2+2=6 and because six objects will divide into multiples of two three times OOOOOO/OO= OO+OO+OO

  • whenever the answer is a whole number answer (the blank), that is the multiplier. such as 6/2=? asking six objects divided into two repeated amounts, how many repeated amounts are found in six objects? OOOOOO will divide into two repeated amounts of two OOO OOO

  • you can do division as repeated subtraction, however i believe that is an error and it is not what was intended simply because if you do a small number problem like 2,000,000/2=? your going to have to subtract 2 one million times to get the answer. so you can see thats inane.

  • division is basic multiplication, not repeated subtraction. your simply asking how many times will 2 multiply to make 4 and what is the multiplier (or how close if the number your dividing is not a multiple, low end without going over).

  • why are you saying two of us? your simply dividing four objects into multiple of two (repeated amounts of 2). your simply asking 2 x __=4 , its four objects divided into two objects or four divides into multiples of two how many times? your not dividing the amount by two people, your dividing it into even objects.

  • the fill in the blank is the second part of a multiplication answer when correct.your simply asking how many times do you multiply 2 to make 4 when you divide 4/2=? this is not the inverse of addition, its dividing into multiples.

  • lol to the cartoons

  • This is such a great thing!

  • Wow u have a lot of vids. i watch these every day!

  • Love these videos

  • You are good at drawing people.

  • erm is this meant for little kids? If yeah, why is the bold guy supposed to be them ... hmm

  • @KrutoyPostowoy Cuz it's funny as shit.

    You're pretty good at drawing people. You doing that with a mouse or tablet? Regardless, you still draw better than I do.

  • @Noodle497 He uses a tablet.. you can see videos of him doing it on his website I think
