  • You're videos were by far my favorite while researching for my new iPad app "Finger Math" - these are the CUTEST kids! So smart! thank you!!!

  • choochoochooseyou shut up

    

  • This is totally meaningless if you don't explain what the child is doing. He might have memorised the answers for all we know.

  • i have taught this method to children for the last 31 years and they just love it. Unfortunately my fellow teachers seem afaid to get involved even after attending workshops that I do witrh them which they evaluate at a 5 (1-5) and five being high.

  • wow amazing!!!!

  • My kids just started a class that teaches this method and after just half of the first class I saw a difference! Even my 1st grader with special needs picked it up so quickly, he came home and did his homework alone for the first time! They both asked "why don't they teach this in school, it's so much easier".

  • @lnjwoods

    Hi there

    would you please forward me this method teaching site address or any link?

    thanks

  • thank you mr.5 yr old :D

    i learned a way to calculate fast

  • fabulous way to calculate!

  • Incredible. As a child I often devised my own systems for dealing with mathematics not unlike this and the vedic maths systems in general, but my teacher would criticise me despite getting it right. It's so sad that anything other than standardised western maths practices should be condemned - especially when it clearly works!

  • Very nice - thanks for posting!

  • you can figure it out if you watch close enough...on the right hand(ones place) the thumb is five. On the left hand(tens place) the thumb is 5 tens or fifty. I picked it up and taught it to my youth and they grasped it fairly quickly. You can also carry during addition and borrow or cancel during subtraction using this method as well.. It is very cool!!!!

  • @setboyz738 Figured it out with your description thankz!!!

  • Holy Crap!!! He's five and can add and subtract faster than i can on a calculator! Why didn't my teachers ever show me that???

  • please tell us........how??

  • Adorable lil guy! I want to teach this to my kids.

  • how do you teach this method? Is there an online tutorial?

  • There's a book on how to do it. You can also ask your teacher.
