I'm in my College Algebra class about to graduate with an associate's degree and now is when I'm finally learning how to do this without a calculator. :D
When people are sarcastic deep inside their heart is an egocentric spirit ...they should be happy and thankful for this teacher/uploader is helping many.
Excellent point. Mathematics is not about getting answers quickly or making true statements, it is about getting the correct answer and following the rules. (Of course the previous was all sarcasm.) Unfortunately, you are only encouraging this by saying that the answer only matters. The fact is that you can divide the numerators and denominators when dividing fractions (though it is not always easy to do so). I'll try to stick with making true statements (when I can).
im in 5th grade and this helped me cause right now im in vacation and i wanna b redy for when they teach me so in other words i will b getting exxxtra practice + studying during vaca i love school and i am a nerd i shall embrase my nerdness!
The video is incorrect. You can divide across when dividing fractions. 3 ÷ 1 = 3 and 4 ÷ 2 = 2 so 3/4 ÷ 1/4 is 3/2. Mathematical ignorance rules the day in the U.S.!
Thank you I'm in the 6th grade and I forgot how to mutiply fractions and i'm in a advanced lerning class for math and my teacher would of got pissed of if I forgot so thank you. you explaned it better then all the other videos
omg what a shame.. l just got into college. n since my major is liberal studies l'm stuck with fractions and decimals . the thing is that my teacher doesn't wana us 2 solve using Algorithm, but pattern blocks.. l just can't get it.
this is very helpful because i go to lawrence jhs and my accelerated math teacher miss donnely gave us a math pretest on this so i looked ahead and saw dividing fractions so i needed help thanks joshrandall
there's an easer way to make an improper fraction to a mixed number. subtract numerator by denumerator. add a oune to the side. ( kepp doing this if the numerator is bigger than the denumerator).
i learned that you see how many times the denomiater in the numerater so 4 can go in 1 time without going over so it would be 1 whole and 2/4 but the last part i dont know how to do
I am 50 years old and use calculators exclusively. I forgot all this stuff. I have a grandson whom I want to avoid the generational gap with. So I watch and relearn.
Seriously. Kids can be straight up brats when someone is sharing knowledge. This guy seems like he would be a cool teacher, too.
I have to admit, though I'm 23 years old and I'm watching this to refresh my memory.. I havent used this kind of math in so many years, so I've forgotten haha.
ok so how am i a nerd exactly, if i know something that somebody else doesnt know i think i'd tell them to make it easier so just because im smart doesnt make me a nerd, btw i like your cat
This is a good lesson, but could be better. "Flip and Dip" is just a meaningless algorithm. It doesn't truly help students understand why we multiply by the reciprocal. Watch MathTV's lesson on this to get a better idea. Also, manipulatives like pattern blocks can be very useful with this topic. Phrases like, "This is how we divide fractions," represent showing how to divide fractions rather than teaching why we divide fractions.(I have a degree in Elem. Educ. with a minor in math.)
no offence but i hate it when teachers or mentors use like "flip and dio" or somthing else to try to remember the thing that were trying to learn. just get straight to the point.
Little phrases like that may sound corny, but they are powerful mnemonic devices for kids and adults alike. The majority of learners don't learn optimally by simply remembering steps by rote.
i know right its like we aren't 5 ya know. my 4th grade teacher told us that when ever we multiplied and brought the zero down to draw a smiley face in the zero. and when we brought like decimals over she said the little loops looked like her sons butt!and she was like that'll help you remember. and i was like aww dude i am trying to forget!
dude it's the teachers job to make the student understand so if i am retarded its because the teachers aren't teaching me the right way. everyone learns differently and i don't appreciate being called a retard neither.and i watched this like 10 times i never got it. not my fault thats not the way i learn. mybe he just sux at teaching some kids. but i dont care teachers need to know how to teach ALL kids.they shouldn't be tryin to teach every kid the same.so shut up,i got a right to be pissed.
The fraction that you used as an example I think it was not a good one for showing how to divide fractions, since the way we divide fractions is exactly the same as multiplication. We can divide numerator by numerator and then divide both denominators, we need to flip over ONLY if this does not work.
Maybe you already know this, but I think you should not say to the students that you CANNOT do it this way.
