  • I am an adult who came from a rough background and I often missed a lot of school. While I was adverage to high with reading my Maths has always been abominable. Throughout my adult life I have experienced a lot of anxiety when Maths crops up in my everyday life. Now I have a child who's started schoool and I am determined to help them excel in everey subject, particuarly maths since this was my downfall. I found you video today, for the first time in my life I'm multiplying with ease. Thank you

  • @blackonyx2727 Hi - thanks for your comment - it made my day and I'm pleased you found the video helpful. Mathswrap.co.uk might also be useful for some of your childs homework Thanks again and all best. S

  • i have one question ! im in grade 6 and what if i want to ther 6x3 or 7x3 befor u write a response no i am not lazy im just curious :) thank you very much for the tipe/trick this wil be very usefull

  • @kaienteri Hi thanks for your question - The trick only works with times tables over 6 x 6 so with x 3 you'll need to find a different way. If you are happy to add then 6 x 3 is the same as 6+6+6, it might take a bit of working out but you could do it this way. Or you could learn them by repeating (a lot!). Maybe try using fingers to work out 6 x 6 and then halving. 6 x 6 = 36 half of this is 6 x 3 = 18 (half of 36). There's lots of different ways but the main thing is to keep trying. Good luck!

see all

  • Not only can you use this to find a sum but you can also use your fingers to find a reverse of any numbers... Convert 0, 1 and 2. Keep up the great work!
