The THREES IN 3 SECONDS (1 MINUTE VIDEO),
The Terrific Threes video will start in a few seconds
In this
video, Mister Numbers (author Tom Biesanz) shows you how to create a Tic-Tac-Toe square with the numbers 1-9, and then create the Threes Times Table in three seconds.
After you watch it you can click PLAY to watch it again or click play on the SEVENS video below to see the SEVENS are created with the same Tic-Tac-Toe Square and the numbers 1-9 again. These videos are pretty Amazing! See the EZ Times Table book for instructions to continue the THREES to 100 times 3, and also fun patterns for the Ones, Twos, Fours, Sixes, Sevens, Eights, Nines, and even creating the whole times table by playing with patterns on one page. See directions in the EZ Times Table book for all the patterns.

Threes, Sixes, and Nines on Tic-Tac-Toe Squares
This is a quick, fun and powerful animated video to expand the Tic-Tac-Toe method to include the Threes, the Sixes, and the Nines.
With 3 tic-tac-toe squares and simple patterns, kids have suddenly created the Threes, the Sixes, and the Nines. They also see how the Threes, Sixes, and Nines are connected.
Suddenly numbers are friendlier and math is not scary, it is even fun!
Play the SEVENS video below! (2 min)
Now we will tame the Savage SEVENS, which are the hardest for many kids to learn.
This video will quickly repeat the THREES (to show how much they are the same), then WOW you with the SEVENS on the same Tic-Tac-Toe Square. All in two minutes. Click start to watch this awesome video about how to create the Sevens. Then YOU make the Tic-Tac-Toe Square on paper a couple times and the Sevens will soon be old friends.
Kids, parents, and even teachers are amazed to see that the Threes and Sevens are related and use the same patterns, but are just reversed.
MisterNumbers gives an overview of the power and fun of Right Brain Math
This is 5 minutes from a 1 hour session where 5-year-old Oscar creates the whole times table from fun patterns and sees how the patterns relate. By the end of the hour, he uses it to multiply and understand multiplication.
This video is using the EZ Times Table, which is awesome. After creating the EZ Times Table over 2 years ago, and seeing the excitement of kids learning math from fun patterns, I quit my teaching job with the encouragement of other teachers and the principal to share it with the world. All kids needs to create the whole times table is to count to ten, know the even numbers, and count by 5's. Watch how excited Oscar gets as he sees the patterns and creates the times tables.
This video uses a number wheel to skip count around the ones-digits by Fours and then by Sixes. You will see that they both create the same 5 pointed STAR pattern, but in reversed direction. Like the 3's and 7's on the Tic-Tac-Toe Squares, the "Rule of Tens" makes if fun and easy. The table adds a great structure for finding the pattern of the tens-digits that also repeats in a fun way to create the Fours and Sevens as high as you want.
Here is the Twos and Eights on a Number Wheel making a Pentagon.
An amazing pentagon with the Twos and the Eights. The Number Wheel shows clearly my "Rule of Tens": Numbers that add up to 10 (like 2 and 8) create the same pattern, but backwards. Starting anywhere on this wheel, going forward 2 always takes you to the same number as going back 8.
And going forward 8, always take you to the same number as going back 2. Both patterns create the same pentagon (but create it backwards). For the Fours and Sixes, both patterns create the same 5 pointed star. For the Threes and Sevens, both patterns create the same 10 pointed star. And the Ones and Nines both create the same 10 sided decagon (again backwards).
Here is the Threes and Sevens animated video on a Number Wheel
This video shows how both the Threes and Sevens create the same fancy star on the number wheel! On a number wheel with ten numbers, does going forward three or back seven take you to the same number? YES! WOW! Does going forward 7 or back 3 take you to the same number? YES! So starting at 0, they create the same pattern in opposite directions. Again and Again? YES! Watch the 369, 258,147,0 patterns repeat for the Threes and the same pattern repeats backwards for the Sevens. Look at when it goes past 0, and see how and where the tens go up.
Now look at the tic-tac-toe square video, and see the same 369,258,147,0 pattern for Threes and backwards 741, 852,963,0 for the Sevens. Numbers are fun and friendly!
Focus on the Number Wheel. Here is another Twos and Eights Number Wheel that shows how a Number Wheel works.
This video uses the Twos (and Eights) to show what a number wheel is, how it works, and that we find number wheels in our home and car. We start to understand digits better as we play with just the ones-digits and then add the tens-digits to get off the wheel. The table is used with the number wheel to create the Twos and Eights. It is like putting a puzzle together. Number wheels can be used for 0-9 with tables to show the patterns. Of course Zero doesn't get anywhere, and Five just bounces up and down between 0 and 5. I hope you have lots of fun making your own number wheels for all the numbers.
This animated video shows what digits are so we can play with them.
This video plays with the meaning of digits, what they are, and what we mean by ones-digits, tens-digits, and hundreds digits. The animation is great for kids to understand how to use digits on the number wheel, tic-tac-toe squares and in the EZ Times Table. The visual look at digits is a great help to understand this basic math concept.
