Math Number Wheel Circle to learn multiplication & Place Value

[davetaylorff]

the "onesies" made my son giggle so much that he had to comment. What he didn't say is how you "blew his mind" with all the tricks you teach. Thanks for posting the lessons. I had never been taught with the number wheel or tic-tac-toe format; I think these may just be the right tools for him to get over the hump of "memorizing" his multiplication tables.

onesies 1:07 :0 lol

I very intentionally give the Ones-Digits a nickname of the Onesies, and the Tens-Digits a nickname of the Tensies.

They are simple concepts with formal names. I choose to be friends with these cool ideas that show us so many fun patterns. I hope it catches on and helps kids learn!

I may be a student at Georgia Tech, but I still find this amazing. Hope my little cousins enjoy multiplication with this!

Glad it helps!

I'm not a kid but I LOVE THIS SOOOO MUCH ^__^

This video is my best one about how Number Circles are just a number line bent into a circle. Glad you love how fun this is.

Thanks MisterNumbers. I hope my kid can see something here that she can't in her regular classroom.

My intention is to make learning math fun for kids. I hope my videos help your daughter (and many more kids). I just put up a revised Threes video and have 2 more videos almost ready.

I am a visual learner and this method makes multiplication so easy. As MisterNumbers demonstrates on the circle, the 8's are 8,6,4,2,0. What is 8*8=64. 8,6,4. For me so many different ways to learn. I also love the use of color and the rhythm of the presentation.

MisterNumbers makes multiplication so easy. Why isn't this taught along with rote memorization?  It makes so much sense and students can construct these circles in minutes.

And I think you have already uploaded this video.

So, by 'right brain', are you referring to the visual aspect of your teaching method? Is there any other aspect of your method which appeals to the right brain?

[MisterNumbers]

RIGHT BRAIN learning looks at visual patterns that are built in to numbers. Right Brain Math also looks at overviews, and has kids create each factor set from fun patterns. It shows how families of numbers like the Threes and Sevens relate. Right Brain Math also uses color, relationships of numbers, and rhythms that fit the patterns. It looks at the big picture and plays with parts like place value. The most common response by kids and adults is WOW!
