Times Tables for 4 & 6 with Math Patterns for Multiplication

[Dmt4030]

Man this was a Beautiful way to explain math.

I need more, I love it =^.^= for i am a right brain.

[Spunkee17]

I don't understand the

1 2 2 3 4

4 5 5 6 7

Where did those numbers come from?

[Spunkee17]

@Spunkee17 Or whatever the pattern is...

[Spunkee17]

@Spunkee17 I don't understand why it goes up where it does. The pattern isn't the same for the 6. I don't understand. Why would you have a video trying to teach and you don't explain this?

[MisterNumbers]

The tens go up by 1 each time we go past 0 (creating another 10) One way to see this is to count by 6s & look at the first number & the second number separately. Counting by 6s to 60:

06 12 18 24 30 The ones digit (second number is always 6 2 8 4 0)

36 42 48 54 60 No matter how high we count by 6, the ones digit pattern is 62840.

NOW, LOOK AT THE FIRST NUMBER (tens digits)

the pattern starts at 0 and goes:  same(06), UP, same, UP, UP no matter how high the 6s go. That's what's fun!

Interesting and informative method.

I wanna ask, it is off the subject and I hope YOu would not mind; what software do u use for making the presentations.

Thanks.

I am God smacked

[animalloverabh]

i like this :D

[MrJrCookie]

Thank you! No tears doing homework tonight! I have the hardest time trying to explain math to my child because she thinks so much differently than I do, and teachers just send home drill-and-practice worksheets that are pure torture for us. She totally got these patterns and had FUN doing it!

[michaelbrayan]

for ex: for the 4..

i Know u start at 4 but how do u know the nest number is 8, 2, 6, 0

[MisterNumbers]

Michael, We are counting around the wheel by 4s. We start at 0 and go around clockwise to 4, adding 4 takes us around to 8 (we draw the lines just to show patterns), when we add 4 more we would be at 12. Because the wheel starts over at 0, we are at 2. Going around 4 more takes us to 6, and going clockwise 4 more takes us back to 0. With all the patterns on the wheel we start over at 0 and make the star again at 4-8-2-6-0. These are the ones-digits, the last digit of a number. Does this help?

[michaelbrayan]

How Are u supposed to remember the patterns?? i dont get how u even got the patterns in the first place?? Please help

[MisterNumbers]

You can create the patterns yourself just by counting clockwise by 4s or 6s around the number wheel. Create your own number wheel with a circle with 0 at the top and 5 at the bottom. Fill in the other numbers around the wheel. Count by 4 and get 4-8-2-6-0. Count by 6 and get 6-2-8-4-0. Both keep repeating. You can add the tens in the table below the wheel. Good luck. I hope this helps.

Having the multiplication table memorized means you have the answer to, "What is 7 x 8?" in a millisecond. Knowing about patterns may make math fun, but in the end, it's the guy who has it memorized who gets the answer the quickest.

I don't know what your method is really good for except showing that numbers are fascinating. I'm fascinated by #s but I never memorized the multiplication tables. Who's better off, me or the guy who hates math but knows 7 boxes w/ 8 jars each = 56 jars? He is.

[MisterNumbers]

YES, knowing patterns is fascinating & makes math fun. Seeing the patterns helps MANY kids learn the times tables. Look at the exercise at the end of the video. I hope YOU do it several times a day. You can create the Sixes in 15 seconds (8 repeats takes 2 minutes/day). Say them out loud. These patterns end with 0 and have 2468, each once. The Twos are 24680,Eights are 86420(the opposite), Fours are 48260 & Sixes are 62840(opposite). Speed comes with time & a positive attitude. GOOD LUCK!!

[anythinggoesjoe]

oh god why didn't i learn this in school i would have gotten better grades. I got this within seconds instead of all the bullshit they tried to stuff in my head

[sgtforge21]

man why are we going to school these days? i learn a lot more from youtube these days than i ever learned up to 8th grade

[shaunsaintlove]

hi i am 32 years old and a full time artist ,tattooing ,air brushing,ex i only have a grad 7 eg and i always wondered why i did math by grouping. I was told to DO MATH THE PROPER WAY / it did not help but your video's have thank you

[EyonDreams]

encouraging speed....why?

[MisterNumbers]

You can go slow or fast, whatever helps you learn the patterns. Sometimes hearing the tens out loud locks in the rhythm pattern of the Sixes: same, UP, same, UP, UP:

01123, 34456, 67789. (Say them out loud). Put this in front of repeated 62840 and you are at 15 X6. It is fun and sounds like a song and can go to a hundred or more. Try it.

[LarrySDonald]

Interesting. Not a pattern I've noticed before. I only teach my own kids (in addition to the schools, but what do they know of math) so it's always good to have more in the arsinal.

[MisterNumbers]

I am presenting to math teachers again at the California Math Council Convention in November. Teachers are learning this fun approach. Glad to have parents sharing it with their kids.

[LarrySDonald]

I've introduced my daughter to it and it certainly looks more positive then other ways of trying to introduce her to patterns/actual math. She is a lot like me and struggles a lot with "regular" math in the sense of "memorize this and apply it" while excelling in "hey, look - there's a pattern to this! In context, it makes sense!" so this will help me a great deal. Thanks and keep up the good work.

[MathSpace]

This is amazing I can't wait to share this strategy with my class. I am purchasing the book can't wait to read it.

[harithian2009]

good work....thanks

[MisterNumbers]

I hear you appreciate this video. I spent a lot of time making my videos as clear, graphic and fun as I can. My other videos are on the right under MORE FROM MISTERNUMBERS.
