5 yr old Oscar Learns Multiplication in an Hour©

[aaliyahSCS]

Multiplication's easy. Last time, I always fail my mad math minute. Everytime I get wrong, I check the wrong ones in the back of my notebook. Then, I memorize the ones I don't know and passed my Mad Math Minute. I did this because I want to go to the Mad Math Minute Festival. Hope it works.

man i wish i had a great teacher like you wen i was young......no wonder why the kid understands everything

[eskamojack1]

god, when i was in first grade we learned this. now a 5year old is learning it in 1 hour.....i feel stupid.

i struggled all the way through school with maths because of my dyscalculia and using this system i've amazed myself at what i can learn. I hope all schools catch up and start using this stuff so more kids can benefit :)

i'm so happy to find new strategies to make numbers fun and familiar. thank you so much Mr.Numbers, i am truly inspired....

OMG! I love how happy Oscar is about learning this math and how great you are with him. I am so scared for my 5 yr old grandson who can't seem to concentrate on much for any length of time. I hate that we will have to send him to a neighborhood public school where there won't be teachers like this. I plan to get this book. Wish us luck!

I love how you let the boy be a boy and fidget a bit in his seat and not throw him on Ritalin to be still. My son learns this way too and if I stay on him to be still he is so concentrated on trying to be still that he can't focus on the work. If I let him fidget, let him bring his books to the bed, or the table etc he does perfectly.

Oscar is adorable and very bright. Lucky to have someone like you to work with him.

Oh, and were to move on if we learn multiplying? I think I will go in this way: 1. multiplying. 2. Powering. 3. logarithming (Can we say that? :) English is not my native). Or maybe I should eplain than a little of geometry?

[longhorn4500]

That video inspires me. I will excercise with my little cousing in this way, But before I should understand is it that neccessary to show numbers as dots? A few month ago I gave the real numbers but before I explained what are they stand for and explained what multiplying realy means (I said him that it's just shortening for adding (which he cleary understands) as it is not cool to make addings 20 times in a row). Now I'm in another city and I scare that he will forget everything I explained :)

I have such a hard time with this!I remebered it but then I forgot it...I know it up to my fives.I study every single efin day(almost).My mom wants to get a tutor and I need lots of help!

[1234righton]

Smart ass little kid man. You should be proud.

[mariakhan97]

Oscar is really intellegent and cute!

[spckk]

if i had a genius tutor like you, i wouldn't be failing algebra right now. A+.

[dudemannelson]

wow this kid is goos h knows more then me and im in grade 6+ =)

[xXstarheartsXx]

I truggled through school for years and i'm so scared of maths but i just learnt my 3 times tables in a few seconds on your website.

[MisterNumbers]

I am glad it helped you! Maybe you are not so scared of math now. There is also a video on a fun way to learn the Sevens on the Right Brain Math website (click on the link on the right of the above video). There are also EZ ways to learn the Ones, Twos, Threes, Fours, Sixes, Eights, and Nines in the book, EZ Times table.

Ya rock!!!!!!!!!

[periwink]

AN hour? hmmm. How many doses of Ritalin's did it take? :P. Just teasing/...cuz my ADD won't let me spend that much time on math like that. i'm jealous! hehe. This kid has learned to love math and will probably do great in math for the rest of his life.

[easenflo]

What a wonderful system you have created. How wonderful to see his confidence building!

[riddyzarzoff]

Enthusiasm is more than half the battle.

Well done, even though you're making quite a few assumptions.

Oscar isn't your average everyday 5 yr old either, a lot still can't recognise numbers more than ten at that age!

[TravelWithYoga]

Kids love fun patterns. Fun patterns create lots of excitement. A huge benefit of EZ Times Table is that kids create a positive attitude toward math. Also learning to recognize patterns is important in all learning. Kids need to be able to count to Ten, know even and odd numbers and count by 5's to create the EZ Times Table. Kids create larger numbers here with patterns. It is fun learning!

[janbreathe]

It's so fun to see Oscar so engaged and excited while learning, and Tom so engaged and excited while teaching. It's obvious that Tom has created a kid-friendly, easy and fun way to learn the times table.

[MisterNumbers]

Anybody can teach this system at school or at home. My book, EZ Times Table has 25 full page tables showing each step in creating a Table. You can see how interesting the patterns are to kids. Click the link on the right of the video to go to my web site. You can click the link there to order the book for 9.95 or click the link to order it from Amazon.

@janbreathe I had an awesome 6th grade nun who taught me my nine times tables this way. They were the onely numbers I was ever sure of.

[tschum217]

Oscar is amazing to watch as he creates his times table! He is so interested at only 5 years old He just gets more animated as time goes on!
