In this video, we learn how to borrow and regroup in math. First, look at the top numbers of the subtraction equation. Look to see if it's smaller than the bottom number. If not, look at the numbers to the left of each one on the top to see if you can borrow from them. If you can, then you will have to lower than number by one each time you are borrowing a number. Once you do this, you will be able to subtract the number at the top from the number at the bottom, even when the individual numbe...

Learn how to add or subtract fractions with math in simple steps. First convert any story line you have into a fraction. Now you have to convert the denominators so that both the fractions have the same. To do so multiply both the numerators and denominators with the same number. Now when you have the same denominators add the numerators to get the answer. Reduce the fractions to a lower value if you wish. Try this out with some other examples.

Most of the time, when I’m bored during math class, I play with my calculator to satisfy my boredom. Recently, I've discovered that when multiplying any number by 11, 111, or any number similar to it, that it has a pattern (though I guess everything in math has a pattern). I don't know if this technique is original, because I didn't read anything about this. It's just mere observation. If it’s a tried and true technique, let me know.
