Math Foundations – Basic Math Skills every Adult should know

Literally didn't teach anything! 😡

You can literally see the confidence click when it’s explained like this !

I want to come here in six months as a maths guru currently i am struggling with basic maths after espacing but i realise everything is maths in our world today.
I wish i knew and settled math in my teens

Four minutes in he still hasn’t started

any tips for the wonderlic basic skill test

You talk more than you actually explain and show math

I'm 48, in college, realizing math is kinda interesting but I don't remember anything from grade school. Thanks so much!

I have no choice so let's get started... 😢

I’m mathematically illiterate

Aw just reading these comments make my heart smile. I've always struggled with math as a child, and I always felt defeated when teachers would try their hardest to get me to understand. But the truth is none of us are dumb or weak it just means we learn and understand differently than others. It took me becoming a 24-yr old adult to finally come to this conclusion that I just have a different way of understanding information and that my brain understands through simple approaches. Also figure out what kind of learner you are, I feel like I tend to ask more questions even if it's a million questions, I ask the most literal ones because that's how MY brain understands! You can't be worried about ppl judging you bc what's most important is understanding so that you are successful. Now that they have Chat GPT I honestly feel like that's the closest thing to breaking down information for me because I can ask it a million questions as many times as I want without any judgement. As for an actual human being they would prob feel overwhelmed and defeated. All those years as a child I struggled and felt sadness because I wanted to so badly learn and felt like my brain was broken. To have to be around other kids who were way more intelligent than me and for me to feel so dumb because I also had parents, but they were not working with me at home. To now being on my own and deciding to enroll back in school for nursing because I have a passion for helping people in medicine and I want a career. I can't allow my fears from my past trauma to stop me from becoming something great when I can set an example and be motivation for someone else out there like me.

21yrs me trying to begin again.i hope not to give along the way 🤲🏻😩

Im 26 no thanks to tiktok and my bf on my ass about my basic math skills I definitely need to relearn all of it, thank you

Video starts 2:30

I wish I could tell my younger self to listen in class instead of watching vine videos during class

I'm 67 and I'm just figuring it all out. (And kind of excited to "get it").

18 years old and I’ve always struggled with basic math and math in general. Still do. Hoping to get better fr

Dallas Community College in Dallas, made me reapply as a new student cause I haven't taken a class in 7 years. Well I looked at the ACCUPLACER pre math test and just knew by the 3rd question I would not pass it and be placed in remedial math. I am a CPhT and I know my math. Rusty on a lot of things like geometry but the fundamentals are still swirling around in my head. So I am going to binge watch you're video's. I don't mind learning. I don't want to cheat myself and am 100% committed to passing this college math quiz and willing to put in the work. Basic stuff like order of Operations, fractions, decimals, etc... Thanks by the way.

Which class would you recommend for me on you're website. I'm thinking remedial math refresher for older adults. I am clueless because there are so many choices. Integers, fractions, really basic to build up my foundation. I have the time and effort

I used to know all of this back in grade school. And then it went the way of my High School Spanish.

school has filled my brain with so much algebra and bs variables, that I completely forgot how to do basic math.... i cant even do long division...

Awesome.. I am a senior . This is good with keeping one alert .Keeps your mind sharp. Thank you.

This is hard man just give me the bricks and cement and tell me how high why tf do I need this

im 30 i just decided to finish high school and realized that my math is at below a middleschool level. Thank you for your help friend this was quite helpful.

Im 500 years old and this helps

I was a loser both inside the classroom and out. Now over 10 years after graduating school (continuation school) I have the urge that I only felt in sprites throughout my formal school years now I have as adult to learn and grow. Feels like a baby trying to catch up to track stars

This told me a lot and nothing at the same time. It was too convoluted to me. I just wanted to solve the problems you presented at the beginning. 😂
Different approach!

I've learned it all and passed and forgot

I’m 29 and I’m going back to school for Radiology. I remember I was not so great in this subject as a whole after algebra. To give my brain a refresh I decided to start from the ground up. The foundation is important.

Never give up and it’s never too late.

John, my second question is I am very weak in basic division, where I can start from? Thanks.

Hi John, hope you are doing well. Why do we have to do things like keeping strategies inside our minds, while we solve even a simple adding or subtracting? thanks.

I am almost 50, and needed this (I’m one class away from transferring) I left school alone because I wasn’t getting math but this video has made me understand it…I’m ready to take my class next semester! Thank you

everyone here is 20+. i am 15 terrified of my future, i dropped out of school in may 2024. praying for myself ❤

Hi, where can i find sequence videos

I am 32 years old. I was a child of 2 immagrints from Mexico. My father would get drunk off of several glasses of wine every night and my mom was never available emotionally for me and my brother cause she worked and went to school. I couldnt speak english or spanish in Elementary school. I struggled alot with focus in class. The only thing I understand in school was Math. And I was really good at math.

I am refreshing myself from the start and long to work myself up to Algebra and Caculus.

I am self teaching myself. I worked many different jobs despite the language barrier.

And journaling also helps. I journaled my trauma, insecurities and fears to get past it all. It took alot of tears and anger. But it helps.


It is never too late to change. It is never to late to try something new. And it is never a bad thing to refresh yourself from the beginning. Never give up and keep moving forward.

Gran ayuda amigo

41 years old I have struggled to provide for my family due to a lack of education that makes me feel like I can't do anything other than hard labor. But this is my start... pray for me and mine plz

37yrs old and going back to school to get certified in trade work to open my own businesses. I was never good at math. Thanks for the video.

Thank you

Im 54 and still want to study and learn maths

Questions that get me...example 1/2 or 1/3. I would think 1/2 is a bigger peice and that 1/3 would be less?

I have mental retardation I don't understand math very well at all.

we're not going to talk about how I just graduated and I tried to take a simple test outside of school that kind of recaps every year ( without using a calculator this time) and realized i forgot how to multiply and divide some long equations by using what I learned in 2nd grade? let alone other simple things I actually am going to need in life. now I'm fixing to take the asvab and realized highschool screwed me over because they taught me things im never going to need and in the meantime dumbed me down to not even needing to remember basic math till I looked at the asvab.

Save your time. Talks too much without saying Anything

F! I couldn’t listen to this guy’s voice for more than two minutes and had to drop out.
