Excellent video.I had the same problems with my son.He is now in the 6th grade ,he wants to be a fighter pilot and he hates math because it was made so complicated by these stupid methods.I have tried to help him but he must "follow the rules" or be penalized by his math teacher. We have to stop this insanity NOW!

@Deeptunester because they don't learn standard math...they learn this crap instead

so, looking at the comments i can say that soon will be times, when it is not a shame to not know the multiplication table and use calculator for 4x6...GOOD LUCK with your reasoning methods when trying to build anything at all. All this is happening just because of those people, who didn't get maths at school and thought that it's useless...

I think kids should know there multiplication by the end of 5th grade. I am a Geomertry Teacher in Texas. I used to teach Algebra, and i taught my students algorithms. I dont know why the teachers in washington dont like teaching algorithms. I think they r wasteing there money on those textbooks and workbooks.
