- Let's say someone walks up to you on the street

and says, "Quick!

"73 plus blank is equal to 57."

What would blank be?

Well, there's a couple of ways to think about it.

Blank is essentially what you have to

add to 57 to get to 73.

It's the difference between 57 and 73.

And so you could think about it as,

"Well, let me start with 57..."

And this is actually how I would do it in my head.

I would start with 57,

and I would add numbers that get me

to nice round numbers until I get to 73.

So I'd start with 57, and I would say, "Let's see.

I could get to 60 pretty easily by adding three."

So that's going to get me to 60.

And from 60 to 73, well, I can imagine I'm gonna add 13.

That's easy for my brain to compute.

Or I could say I'm gonna add 10 to get to 70.

And then I could add another three.

But my brain can say 60 plus 13.

Yeah, that's gonna be 73.

So now this whole thing is 73.

So what did I add to 57 to actually bridge the gap?

I added three plus 13.

So I added 16.

So 16 plus 57 is equal to 73.

Now there's other ways that you could try to tackle it.

You could say, "Look!

This blank is the difference between 73 and 57."

So you could write this as 73 minus 57

is equal to blank.

And this would get you the same value.

It would get you 16.

And there's multiple ways to compute this.

But this is the way that I would

actually try to tackle this in my brain.

Let's do a few more examples.

This is strangely, strangely fun.

So let's say that someone,

another person walks up to you on the street

and says, "Quick!

"94 minus blank

"is equal to 57."

So this is saying, "What do I have to subtract from 94

"to get to 57?"

Well, I could do it in the similar way,

I'm subtracting this time,

where I could keep subtracting numbers

that make the math easy in my head until I get to 57.

And this is actually how I would do it in my head.

I would start at 94.

And then I would subtract four to get to 90.

So that's 90 right over there.

And let's see.

Then I could subtract 20 to get to 60.

I don't want to get lower than 57.

So I'm going to subtract 20, 90 minus 20.

Oh, sorry, I could subtract 30 to get to 60.

So I could subtract 30 now.

So 90 minus 30, this is going to be equal to 60.

And then to go from 60 to 57, pretty straightforward.

I just have to subtract another three.

60 minus three, this is going to be 57.

So how much did I subtract?

I subtracted four, 30, and three.

So let's see.

I subtracted, this is 34, 37.

I subtracted 37, just like that.

Now another way you could have done it,

you could have said, "Look!

"37 is the difference between 94 and 57."

So you could have thought about it.

Well, if I start at 57, what do I have to add

to get to 94?

And you could have tackled it exactly

the way that we did the last problem,

where you could, here I'm gonna add three.

If I add three, I get to 60; then if I add 30, I get to 90.

And then if I add another four, I get to 94.

So I added 37.

Now there are clearly other ways to do this,

especially if you have paper around.

But this is actually how my brain would tackle it

if someone walked up to me in the street

and asked me to solve these problems.

Now let's do one more.

Let's do one more of these.

Let's see where I have a clear space.

So let's say that someone asks,

"You have 36 is equal to blank

"minus 41."

So the way I think about this is,

they're saying that 36 is the difference

between blank and 41.

Or another way to think about it is 36 plus 41

is going to be equal to blank.

You could draw this on a number line.

If these two statements being the same

doesn't make full sense,

you do a number line right over here.

And then they're saying, "OK,

"we're gonna start at some mystery number.

"We're starting at some mystery number.

"That's our blank.

"We're gonna subtract 41.

"We're subtracting 41,

"and we're getting to 36."

So this is the exact same thing as saying,

"If we start at 36, and if we were to add 41,

"we get back to our blank right over here."

So what's 36 plus 41?

Well, let's add our ones first.

So we have six ones plus one one.

That is seven ones.

And then we have three tens plus four tens,

which is seven tens, 77.

So this is 77.

And we're done.

Strategies for adding 2-digit numbers | 2nd grade | Khan Academy - Duration: 3:16.

- So let's do a bunch of examples

from the Khan Academy Exercises

to get comfortable with different ways

of adding numbers.

So this says, select any strategy

that can be used to add 78 plus 9.

Select all that apply.

So this first choice is 77 plus 10.

Well, does that make sense?

So instead of 78 they wrote a number one less

which is 77, and instead of nine

they wrote a number which is one more, that's 10.

So that makes sense.

If you take away one from 78 but add that one to nine,

and you're going to get the same sum.

It's still going to be the same thing as 78 plus nine.

So this is legitimate, this is okay right over here.

And this actually might be a good thing to do

because this is easier to compute

because you now are adding 77 plus a nice, round 10 here.

So you're just going to increase your 10s by one,

so this is going to be 87.

A little bit easier to compute than this, right over here.

Now what do they do here? Add seven and eight.

So why would I add seven 10s plus eight ones?

They're treating the seven like as if it's seven ones,

so this doesn't make sense.

So I would only choose this first choice.

Let's do a few more examples.

Select any strategy that can be used to add 35 plus 15.

Select all that apply.

So here they say add 35 plus five then add 10,

so they've broken up the fifteen into five and 10

which makes sense, 15 is five plus 10.

And this is a decent strategy because this gets us to 40,

which we can do in our head,

and then we add 10, that gets us to 50.

So that one definitely works out.

Now what are they doing over here? 30 plus 20.

So instead of writing 35 they wrote 30,

so this is five less,

and then they increased the second number 15 by five.

So you take away five from 35, you get 30.

You add that five to 15, you get 20.

Yeah, that makes sense too and this is also a good strategy

because 30 plus 20, that's three 10s plus two 10s,

that's going to be five 10s, or 50.

Very easy to compute, and we got that

by taking a five from the 35 and giving it to the 15.

So that makes a lot of sense.

Let's do one more.

Select any strategy that can be used to add 41 to 52.

So, select all that apply.

Add 40 plus 52 then add one.

So let's see, 41 plus 52,

yeah so 40,

we've taken the one out of the 41,

so we're going to have to deal with it later.

52 hasn't changed, so yeah,

41 plus 52 is the same thing

as 40 plus 52, plus one.

We're just adding this one later,

and the reason why that might be easier

is you could just think in terms of the 10's place first,

40 plus 52 is 92, then you add one, is 93.

Now let's think about this one. 43 plus 50.

See, they added two to 41 and they took away two from 50.

Yeah, that makes sense.

You added two here and you took away two here,

so that's going to give us the same value.

It's still going to get us to 93

and this is useful because it makes the,

it turns the 52 into a nice, round number of 50

by taking two away from it and giving it to the 41,

turning it into 43.

- [Voiceover] So I have two numbers here

that I wanna add together.

The first number is 327,

and that means three hundreds,

I have a three in the hundreds place.

You see them right over here.

You see the three hundreds,

each of these big squares have a hundred

little squares in 'em, so three of them

is going to be three hundreds.

And then I have two tens.

Two tens, the two is in the tens place,

so this is the two tens right over here.

And then I have seven ones.

The seven is in the ones place.

Seven is in

the ones place, and you see the seven ones.

Seven ones, right over there.

Now, this is three hundreds, two tens,

and seven ones, or 327.

Now, to that, I wanna add 251,

or another way of thinking about it as

I wanna add two hundreds, because the two

is in the hundreds place, two hundreds.

Two hundreds.

One hundred, two hundred.

50 is the same thing as five tens,

we see a five in the tens place.

Five, let me do that same color.

Five tens, right over here.

One ten, two tens, three tens,

four tens, five tens.

And then finally, I have a one in the ones place,

so that just means one one.

You see that right over there.

This is one.

One one.

Now, pause the video,

and see if you could add these two numbers together.

All right, now let's do it together.

So we have seven ones, and to that we're going

to add one one, so how many ones is that going to be?

Well, seven ones plus one one,

is going to be eight ones.

You see here, seven, and then you have an eighth one.

So eight ones, seven plus one is eight.

Now let's look at the tens.

I had two tens, and I'm gonna add

five more tens, you put 'em all together,

you're going to have seven tens.

Two tens plus five tens, you're going

to have seven tens.

And then, finally,

if you have three hundreds and you add two more hundreds,

how many hundreds are you going to have?

Well, you're going to have five hundreds.

You see these five groups of a hundred right over here.

So you're gonna put a five in the hundreds place.

So 327 plus 251

is 578.

Five hundreds, seven tens,

and eight ones.

Subtracting 1 vs. subtracting 10 | Addition and subtraction within 100 | 2nd grade | Khan Academy - Duration: 2:32.

- What I want you to do is pause the video

and think about what 27 minus one is,

and then think about what 27 minus 10 is.

Alright, you might have found it pretty straightforward,

but I want to think about it in terms of place value.

So let's focus on 27, so 27,

I have two in the 10's place so that two means two 10s

and we seen them here, two groups of 10,

and then we have seven in the one's place

and we see those seven ones right over here.

Now I'm going to subtract one,

I'm subtracting one, one is another way to think about it

because this is in the one's place here,

so I'm going to take away one.

So let's just take away one like that,

and then what am I left with?

Well I still have my two 10s

so I could put a two in the 10's place,

so I still have a two in the 10's place.

And now how many ones do I have?

Well I used to have seven, I took one away

now I have six ones,

so two 10s and six ones, well we call that 26.

Now let's think about 27 minus 10.

So once again this is 27, two 10s and seven ones

and now we're not going to take away any ones,

but we're going to take away one 10.

Let's just remind ourselves, a 10 is literally one 10.

I know that sounds like I'm saying the same thing

over and over again,

but I really want you to appreciate the place value.

This is the 10's place and I have a one there

so I am going to take away one 10 and zero ones.

So let's take away that 10.

So let's take away, maybe I'll take this one away.

I'll do it in a color that's easier to see.

So I could take that away, and then what am I left with?

How many 10s am I left with?

Well now I only have one full group of 10

so I have one 10, so that's the 10's place right over there.

And how many ones do I have?

Well I still have seven ones,

so I still have seven in the one's place.

So 27 minus 10 is one 10 and seven ones, or 17.

And another way that you could think about it,

and this might be the way that you did it

when I first asked you to do it.

Hey, if I'm taking away a one

I'm going to reduce my one's place by one,

so I'm going to go from 27 to 26.

But if I'm taking away a 10,

then my ten's place is going to go down by one

so I go from a two in the ten's place

to a one in the ten's place,

I go from 27 to 17.

The one's place didn't change.

- So we have the number 35, which is 3 tens,

because we have a 3 in the tens place,

so we have 3 tens,

and we have a 5 in the ones place.

So, this is the ones place,

I'll do the ones place in that same purple color.

This is the ones place,

and we see it represented here as 5,

as 5 ones.

So 35 is the same thing as

3 tens and 5 ones.

3 tens and 5 ones.

Now, what we wanna do with this video is subtract 8 from 35,

and I encourage you to pause the video and

try to figure out what 35 minus 8 is.

Alright, so let's think about it.

We have 5 ones, and we wanna take away 8 ones from there.

Well, we don't know how to take 8 ones if we only have 5.

We could take away 5, but then we're all out of ones,

so how do we take away 8?

Well, this is where regrouping is valuable,

because we don't only have 5 squares.

We actually have 35 squares.

We have 3 groups of ten squares,

and then we have the 5 ones.

So what if we were to take one of these groups of ten,

right now it's in the tens place,

and we were to regroup it into the ones place?

So let's say we were to take this group right over here,

if we were to take this group of 10,

and instead of expressing it in the tens place,

let's put it in the ones place.

So let's move it over here,

and in the ones place, it would be,

so 1 ten is the same thing as 10 ones,

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,

7, 8, 9, and 10.

So what just happened there?

I took away one of the tens,

so now I only have 2 tens,

and I took those 10 and put them in the ones place.

So I have the original 5 ones,

and then I have the new 10

that I just took from the tens place.

So 5 plus 10 is going to be 15,

so I now have 15 ones.

And now I can take away 8.

So, if I take away 8 now,

I would take away 1, 2, 3, 4,

5, 6, 7, 8, just to be clear.

I'm taking away 8.

And so what am I going to be left with?

Well, I'm gonna be left with 2 tens,

I'm gonna be left with 2 tens,

and how many ones?

I have 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 ones.

7 ones right over here.

Now how do we do it if I didn't wanna

draw all of these things?

Well, you would've said: Alright, I have

3 tens and 5 ones, this is where we started,

but I took one of those tens,

I took one of those tens away so I only have 2 tens now,

and I took that group of 10 and put it in the ones place,

so it's 10 ones.

So the 5 ones, plus another 10 ones,

give us 15 ones.

15 ones.

And so you can say I have 15 ones minus 8 ones is 7 ones,

which we see over here, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7,

so after doing the subtraction, we have 7 ones,

and then I'll have 2 tens left in the tens place.

So 2 tens, 7 ones. 27.

- I would like you to pause the video

and think about what 64 minus 31 is.

Alright, now let's think about this together.

So what does 64 actually mean?

Well we can use place value to think about that.

The six is in the tens place

and the four is in the ones place.

So the six over here, that means six tens.

It means six groups of ten.

And so, we can visualize that right over here.

Six tens, one, two, three, four, five, six

groups of ten.

Or another way to think about it,

six tens, these are 60 boxes right over here

in groups of ten.

And then we have four ones.

Well this is four ones right over here.

Four ones.

So this is 64.

Six tens, four ones.

Altogether I have 64 boxes.

Sixty of these blue ones

and I have four ones.

Four of these individual ones.

Now I want to take away 31.

Well what is 31?

Thirty-one is three tens and one one.

So let's first take away the one one.

We're going to take this away,

we're subtracting.

We're subtracting three tens

and we're subtracting one one.

So let's take away that one one.

And then how many ones are we left with?

Well now we're left with three ones.

So four ones minus one one

is three ones.

Now let's think about the tens.

So I had six tens.

I'm going to take away three of them.

I'm going to take away three of the tens.

So let's do that.

Let's take away, that's one ten,

two tens and then three tens.

And so what am I going to have left over?

Well I'm going to have left over,

just three tens.

Just these three, these three right over here.

So six tens minus three tens is three tens.

And so 64 minus 31 is 33.

Three tens and three ones.

Three tens, this is a group of ten,

another group of ten, another group of ten.

Three tens and then three ones.

One, two, three.

Addition and subtraction with number lines | 2nd grade | Khan Academy - Duration: 1:57.

- [Voiceover] Which number line shows 47 plus 22?

Let's see, in this first number line we're

starting at 47, then we add 20 to get to 67.

And then we add two to get to 69.

So if you add 20, and then you're adding two,

you're adding 22.

So this one seems right.

So let's see why these choices don't seem right.

So this one, we add two to get to 49

and then two more to get to 51.

Well this isn't adding 22.

This adding two plus two, this is adding four.

To add 22, you have to add 20 and then two.

And this choice right over here,

we are adding 20 and then we're adding two,

but we're not starting at 47, we're starting at 74.

So this is 74 plus 22, so I definitely feel good

about that choice right over there.

Let's do a few more examples.

Which number line shows 93 minus 76?

So let's see, in all of these choices, we're starting at 93.

Here, in this first choice we subtract seven and then six.

But it's subtracting 76, you want to subtract 70.

And then you want to subtract six, not just seven.

So I don't like this first choice.

Here we subtract 60, and then we subtract seven.

But that's subtracting 67, not 76.

We gotta subtract seven tens.

Seven tens, and then six ones.

So here we're subtracting seven tens, we're subtracting 70.

And then we are subtracting six ones.

So that's definitely going to be the right choice.

So let's see, maybe

maybe one more just for fun.

Which number line shows 12 plus 87?

So all of these start off at 12,

and we're gonna want to add 80 and then add 7.

Eight tens and seven ones.

And let's see, this one adds 80

and then we add seven, so yep.

Feel good about that one right over there.

Breaking apart 3-digit addition problems | 2nd grade | Khan Academy - Duration: 3:42.

- Mike isn't sure how to add 189 + 608,

help Mike by choosing an addition problem

that is the same as 189 + 608.

Now let's look at these choices.

Let's just start with this first choice,

actually all of these choices start with having 1 hundred,

they all have 1 hundred, so where do we see 1 hundred here?

Well in 189, we have a 1 in the hundreds place,

so this right over here, that is one 1 hundred,

100, and then all of the choices actually have 6 hundreds,

6 hundreds, 6 hundreds, where are they getting that from?

Well in 608, the 6 is in the hundreds,

so that 6, represents 6 hundreds,

6 hundreds, so that's where they got the 1 hundred,

and the 6 hundreds from, and then all of them have 8 tens,

so they're actually all looking pretty similar,

up to that point, they all have 8 tens, 8 tens, 8 tens,

where do they get that from?

Well in 189, this 8 is in the tens place,

so it represents 8 tens,

8 tens, and then what else do they have?

Well this is where they all start

to be a little bit different, so let's go one by one.

So this next one then has 9 ones,

9 ones, where are they getting that from?

Well in 189, the 9 is in the ones place,

so it's reasonable to write 9 ones,

and then finally, they have 8 ones.

8 ones, where do they get that from?

Well in 608, the 8 is in the ones place,

so it's 8 ones, so this first choice is looking quite good.

Now you might be saying,

'Okay, we took into account, all of these digits,

except for this 0 over here, how come we didn't,

how come there's a 0 here in the tens place?'

Well that would just be 0 tens,

0 tens, which is just zero,

so it's not going to change the value of this,

so this first choice is indeed the same,

as the original addition problem.

If we want to see where the other ones break down,

this one has 8 tens written twice, we only have one,

we have an 8 tens here, but this 8 is in ones,

so this should say 'ones', right over here,

and this choice, we have the 8 ones,

but this 9 right over here, this is ones,

this isn't tens, so this should be 'ones'.

So that's why we wouldn't pick either of those.

Let's do another one of these, or related type of problem.

Which addition problem is the same as

525 + 379?

Let's just break it down.

So we have a 5 in the hundreds place,

so that would be 500,

and then we have a 3 in the hundreds place,

so + 300,

then we have a 2 in the tens place,

so it's two 10, or 20,

and then we have a 7 in the tens place,

so that's + 70, and then last but not least,

we have a 5 in the ones place, so that's just going to be 5,

and then we have a 9 in the ones place,

so that's just going to be equal to 9.

So which of these choices

is the same of what I just wrote over here?

500 + 300, so this first choice has no 500 or 300,

so we can rule that out.

500 + 300 + 20 + 70 + 5 +9,

that's exactly what I wrote down.

This last choice breaks down, they wrote 90 instead of 9,

and then they wrote 5, and then they wrote 7, instead of 70.

That 7 is in the tens place, it's not in the ones place,

we ruled that one out as well.

Addition using groups of 10 and 100 | 2nd grade | Khan Academy - Duration: 3:58.

- [Voiceover] So, let's do some practice problems

on Khan Academy exercises that make us

rewrite an addition problem so that we

can get them to rounder numbers.

Numbers that might be multiples of 10, or multiples of 100.

So, let's see here, I have 63 plus 427,

and that seems kind of hairy, you know,

it feels like I wanna write those things down,

but maybe I could take away from one of them,

and give it to the other one so that they both

become round numbers, and it's clear

that 63, if I were to give three away I would get to 60,

and if I were to give those three to 427,

it would get to 430, and 60 plus 430

is a much simpler problem.

So, let's think about what this question is saying.

Well, it's just taking a step by step through that process.

It's just saying 63 plus 427 is going to be equal

to 60 plus what plus 427?

So, the 60 plus what, this is gonna

to be the same thing as 63, cause we have

427 in both places, so 63 is 60 plus three.

Well, that makes sense.

On this next step, they just change the order.

60 plus three, and then adding 427

is the same thing as doing 60 plus,

and then adding the three to the 427 first.

So, we're just taking this three

and moving it from the 63 to the 427.

Well, three plus 427, that's just 430.

And now this addition problem became a lot simpler.

60 plus 430, we can do that in our head.

We're just adding six 10's to this, right over here,

so it's gonna be 490, and we're done.

Let's do a couple more examples of this.

So, over here, we want to, let's see,

we want to add these two numbers,

and let's maybe see if we can 'em

a little bit a rounder number.

So, over here, we're breaking up

the 275 into 270 and something.

Well, that's gonna be 270 plus five.

Notice, the rest is still the same,

plus 595, plus 595.

Now, why are we doing that?

Well, if we take five from 275 and give it to 595,

which is what we're doing here,

the 595 can get to 600.

It's gonna make the calculation easier.

So, once again, here we're adding

the 270 and the five first, and then we're adding the 595,

but we could change the order in which we do it.

We could add the five to the 595 first,

and then add the 270.

So, this is the same thing as 270 plus,

five plus 595 is 600, that's the whole reason

why we took five from the 275 is so

that we can add it to the 595 and get 600,

and now we can do this in our head.

270 plus six 100's, well we're just gonna increase

our 100's by six, so it's gonna be 870.

Let's do a couple of more examples here.

Fill in the blank.

51 plus 83 is the same thing as blank plus 84.

Well, they increased 83 by one to 84,

so we gotta decrease 51 by one.

So, this is gonna be the same thing as 50 plus 84.

Now, why would anyone care about this?

Why would they do that?

Well, I find this easier to calculate,

because now I just have to say

eight 10's plus four ones, plus another five 10's.

Well, that's gonna be 13 10's and four ones, or 134.

So, I find this a little bit easier,

but the important thing is if we add to one number,

we gotta take away the same amount from the other number

in order to not change the value

of this addition problem, of this expression.

Let's do one more.

138 plus 710 is the same as blank plus 700.

So, we had 710, and it's now 700.

So, we took 10 away from that number,

so we have to give it to the other number.

So, 138, we have to add 10 to that,

so that's gonna be 148.

Now, why was that useful?

Well, 148 plus 700, you can do that in your head.

That's gonna be 848, and that's easier to compute

than what we just had over here.

- [Voiceover] What I want to do in this video

is go over some techniques for doing mental addition.

Now, if I saw something like 355 plus 480,

if you have some paper around, you could

write these numbers down and do your traditional addition,

but you might want to be able to do these in your head,

so how do you do it?

Well, the way to think about it is,

can we add or subtract from these numbers

so that one of these numbers might become

a little bit simpler?

So for example, I have 480 here.

What would I have to do to 480

to, say, get it to 500?

It's almost 500.

Well, I could add 20 to 480, but I can't just add 20.

I would would also have to take away 20,

so what happens if I take away 20 from 355 and add it

to 480?

So what am I talking about?

So this is going to be the same thing as,

so let me take away 20 from this.

So that's going to be 335

and let me add 20 to this,

so 480 plus 20 is 500,

and the whole reason why I took away 20 and I added 20

is I said, well what do I have to add to 480

to get to 500?

And I could have done that in my head.

Okay, I need to add 20.

355 minus 20 is 335.

But now this problem is much, much simpler to compute.

335 plus 500,

well, it's going to be three hundreds plus five hundreds,

it's going to be equal to

800 and then we have 35.

835.

Now, to make it a little bit clearer what we did,

remember, we wanted to take 20 from here

and put it over here,

so we could break up 355,

we could say that it's going to be equal to,

it's going to be equal to,

let's break it up into 335

and 20, and remember,

the whole reason why I picked 20 is because

I'm going to want to add that to 480,

but I'm just doing it step-by-step here,

so plus 480,

and now I can just change the order with which I add,

so I could say, this is going to be equal to

335

plus 20

plus 480,

and instead of adding the 335 and 20 first,

I could add the 20 and 480 first,

so I could add these two characters first,

and so then I'm going to be left with,

this is going to be equal to 335

plus, what's 20 plus 480?

Well, that was the whole point.

I picked 20 so that I can get to 500.

20 plus 480 is going to be 500

and then, now, you can add them.

This is going to be 835.

So this is just a longer way of saying what I did here.

I took 20 from 355,

so I can make the 480 into a 500.

Let's do a couple more examples of this,

and remember, the key is just thinking about

how could I add or take away from one of the numbers

to make them simpler?

So over here, I have 18 plus 704.

So there's a couple ways we could tackle this.

One way, we could try to get the 704 to be equal

to 700.

So, we could say that this is the same thing as

18 plus,

I could write 700 plus 4,

or I could write it as 4

plus 700, like that,

and then I could put the parentheses around this first,

and then I could just switch the order in which I add,

so this is the same thing as 18

plus 4

plus 700,

and now I could add the 18 and the 4 first.

Now what's 18 plus 4?

It's 22, and then I have plus 700,

and now this is pretty easy to compute,

and all of these are going to be equal to each other,

so let me just write it like that.

22 plus 700, I could do that in my head.

That's going to be 722.

Now, I know what you're thinking.

Hey, this is supposed to be a technique for doing something

in my head?

I can't write all this stuff down in my head.

The reason why I'm writing this down this way

is that you see what's really going on.

But you could do it a lot quicker.

You could just say, hey, let me take 4 from the,

I'm closing my eyes right now as I'm talking,

just so I can pretend like I'm doing it in my head.

Okay, let me add 4 to 18 and take away 4 from 700,

well that's going to be the same thing if I add 4 to 18,

this is going to be 22,

and if I take away 4 from 704,

that's going to be plus 700.

22 plus 700 is 722.

Now, there's another way that you could tackle it.

You could say, well, let me actually,

instead of taking away 4, let me add some number,

some value here, so I get to,

I don't know, say 710.

That seems a little less ideal for me,

but you could do it.

Well, let's see, if I added 6 to 704,

I'll get to 710.

So how about I break off 6 from the 18

and add it to the 704?

So I could write it like this.

I could say that 18 is 12 plus 6

and then plus 704

which is the same thing as 12 plus 6

plus 704,

and then I could add these first,

and I could have 12 plus 710

and I might be able to say,

Okay, that's going to be 722,

but this method right over here doesn't seem

anywhere near as intuitive as doing this,

as trying to get the 704 to 700

by taking 4 from here and adding it

over here.

Let's do one more example of this.

So, 275 plus 595.

Well, my gut reaction is,

can we get this 595 to be equal to 600?

So this is going to be equal to,

so if I add 5 to 595, I get 600.

Let me do that in the same color.

So I'm going to add 5 to it to get 600.

I have trouble switching colors.

So, 600,

but I can't just add 5,

I also have to take 5 away from here,

so taking 5 from there, that would be 270,

so this becomes 270 plus 600,

and this is easier for me to compute in my head.

This would be two hundreds plus six hundreds

is equal to eight hundreds.

I have seven 10's plus zero 10's,

so 800, and then I have no one's.

870.

Now, another way that you could have tried to tackle it

is like, let's try to get this 275 to,

let's try to get it to 300.

So, we could say this is the same thing as 300.

We could say this is the same thing as 300.

And to get there, I just added 25,

but if I add 25 from this number, I'm going to have to

take 25 from this number.

So I could subtract 25 from here,

and then I would get 300 plus 95 minus 25

is going to be 70,

so it's going to be 570.

570, and this is also easy to compute.

300 plus 570 is 870.

And there's other ways that you can tackle this

including the traditional way of writing it down on paper

and whatnot.

But hopefully this gives you a little bit of a toolkit

for being able to solve these things maybe in your head.

Adding and subtracting on number line 2 | 2nd grade | Khan Academy - Duration: 2:25.

- Which number line shows 361 + 544?

Let's see, in all of them we're starting at 361,

so now let's add 544.

This one starts with adding 400, and then 50, and then 4,

it's adding 454, not 544.

Now this one adds 500, then 40, and then 4,

so this is adding 544,

to 361, we see that it is 905.

This makes sense, you add 500, you get 861,

you add 40, you get to 901, and then add the 4,

you get 905, so definitely go with that choice.

This one over here, instead of add 500, you add 50,

which doesn't make sense

because we're clearly adding 5 hundreds, 4 tens, or 40,

and then 4 ones, let's do some more examples.

Which expression can be solved

with the following number line?

Let's see, we're starting at 718, and then we're adding 200,

and then we're adding 40 to get to 958.

This is really 718 + 240,

which is this choice right over there.

This is kind of, strangely fun.

Which number line shows 585 - 368?

Let's see, these second two number lines,

both start at 585, we're starting our computation at 585,

this one's starting at 558, so it swapped the numbers,

so this one doesn't make sense,

but let's look at these two choices.

We want to subtract 3 hundreds, 6 tens, and 8 ones.

In both of these, we subtract 3 hundreds,

and then we want to subtract 6 tens,

6 tens, and then 8 ones, that's this one over here.

This one swaps the... instead of having 6 tens and 8 ones,

it has 8 tens and 6 ones, so it swapped...

this is subtracting 386, which isn't the original problem,

so definitely like this third choice.

Let's do one more example.

Which expression has been solved

with the following number line?

We're starting at 935, and then we're going to subtract 400,

and then we're going to subtract 20.

This is 935 - 420.

935 - 420,

that choice right over there.

Subtracting 3-digit numbers (no regrouping) | 2nd grade | Khan Academy - Duration: 2:57.

We have the number 357.

So the three is in the hundreds place.

So that represents three hundreds:

one hundred, two hundred, three hundreds.

Three hundreds right over here,

that's what this three represents,

'cause it's in the hundreds place.

Let me write that. This is the hundreds place.

Then we have a five in the tens place.

So that represents one, two, three, four, five tens.

Five tens.

And then last but not least we have,

in the ones place, we have seven.

So that represents seven ones:

one, two, three, four, five, six, seven. Seven ones.

Now from that, we want to subtract 251;

or, we want to subtract two hundreds,

five tens, and one one.

So pause this video and think about

what that is going to be.

So let's work through this together.

Let's first focus on the ones.

We're starting off with seven ones

in three hundreds, five tens, and seven ones.

357. Seven ones.

And we are going to take away

one one right over here.

Let me do this in a different color.

So we're gonna take away one one.

So let's take away one one.

And then we're gonna be left with six ones.

Now let's go to the tens place.

We start with five tens,

but we're going to take away,

we're going to subtract, five tens.

So let's subtract one ten, two tens,

three tens, four tens, five tens.

We've taken all of the tens away.

So now, we have zero tens.

And then finally, we started with three hundreds

but we want to take away two of them.

We want to take away two of the hundreds.

So let's do that; let's take away

one hundred and two hundred.

And we're just going to be left

with this hundred right over here.

We're going to be left with one hundred.

Three hundreds minus two hundreds

is one hundred.

So hopefully this gives you an appreciation

of what's happening in place value.

You could just say, "Oh, I'll line up the numbers,

"and I'll look at the place values, and then

"over here I have a seven minus one is a six,

"a five minus five is a zero,

a three minus two is a one,"

but I really want you to think about what's going on.

This is seven ones minus one one,

which gives us six ones;

this is five tens minus five tens, so you're

not gonna have any tens left over, so it's zero tens;

and three hundreds, three groups of a hundred,

minus two groups of a hundred is gonna leave us

only one group of a hundred.

So we're gonna be left with 106:

one hundred, zero tens, and six ones.

Игра престолов 6 серия 7 сезон: Обзор промо! - Duration: 6:22.

Valar Morgulis friends!

The next series of Game of Thrones out as much in a week,

and that would in any way facilitate the its expectation and know that

We expect people to make frame by frame analysis of promo

roller to six episodes the seventh season of Game of Thrones.

Before proceeding to an analysis of I want to recommend

dravatar dot com website.

There you can order yourself portrait in one of a plurality

styles, such as Vic Kisimyaku painted in the style of Zatanna.

And you nobody forbids become Dzhonom Snou or

mother of dragons.

The guys are very adequate Prices are provided during operation

sketches can be ordered Art on canvas, all portraits

unique approach both on the avatar and in the present.

The link in the description can be learn about all the details.

Promo starts with frames Because of the wall, we hear the words

Berwick, he says Death - is the enemy, first and last,

He always wins.

And we still have to fight with him.

He most likely has in mind King of the Night, and the eternal

the struggle between the Lords of Light and the Great Other.

Judging by the number allotted time in promo

it can be assumed that the next series in the majority

his will be devoted to outing John detachment in fan circles

already nicknamed squad suicide, on a mission to

the capture of one of the dead to provide it

as evidence the existence of other.

Images from the promo allow amounted to approximately

picture of how will unfold over

Wall.

At the beginning of our heroes leave Oriental Watch and farther

moving on snow-covered zastenya expanse that

we will show at its best.

Some of the party members for the first time are behind the Wall

and we will see their impressions of this beautiful region.

Then at one point it appears the army of the dead, our heroes

probably did not expect that run into a

a large number of Vihti, and it will be nothing left

besides how to run that they did.

As we can see in one of the frames of the trailer to all

season, they will stop on the platform, where they will be

it is more convenient to keep the defense.

With the approach of the Others are and White still small, it mist

wind, snow and frost, and it It will happen in the next

series.

Our so-called detachment suicide will be fine

keep the defense, all the heroes will show the maximum.

John, as the only the owner of the sword of valiriyskoy

steel will fight one from other, as we know it

already have experience in this matter.

Berwick Dondarion will use trick with a flaming sword that

It will look very impressive, especially when it starts

chop them dead.

Dzhendri show your skill possession of a war hammer,

and judging from what we have already We saw he was not so bad,

if Robert was alive then he definitely would have been proud

such a son.

The dog also will not lag behind, and will Troshchiev skull

Dead, with their powerful blows.

The remaining members of the squad as likely to show

the best of their abilities, but these frames, we have not shown

in the promo.

Should pay attention that frame when the dog breaks

skull of a dead man, he does Dzhendri hammer.

This fact is a little disturbing, Dzhendri surely be killed

Dog and take his hammer?

And how can varinant assume that Dzhendri

either injured or help someone is wounded, and Sandor

Kligan temporary uses his weapon.

It will be very sad if the after all this time

Dzhendri returned to the story Only for the sake of order that would

he died in a fight with the dead behind the wall.

Scenes from Trailer all seventh season, supplement

the overall picture of the upcoming fight, one of the scenes

We see John surrounded Wicht, and background can be

fire, seen from above our staff can do

conclusion that John is not detachment kindled, and did not prepare

nor any fires, and it suggests that this

fire is the work of Drogon or one of the other dragons

Deyneris.

In previous episodes, we They showed John and Deyneris

on a little closer, and it is quite logical

if it somehow try to come to their

help.

As a result, at the end of the Battle Rider like Dzhona Snou uskachet

somewhere in the distance, it can be assumed that he will save his uncle

Benji, have rescued Branagh before, because he

have a horse, but no one from the order of John was not

horses.

As to the rest of the squad their fate is unknown,

It may save them Deyneris and all of them will fly on a dragon,

maybe she will just cover them with fire, and they

successfully retreat, or else death awaited them, well,

at least some of them.

On one of the frames promo showed us how someone

through the gate to the East patrol intersecting walls.

John detachment crossed it even in the fifth series, means

it is not for them, plus no one of them did not have a shield, while

one of the people on this frame is.

It can be assumed, that these people are put forward on the

search, or to the aid of our heroes.

John and his companions will meet and his old friend King

Night, though it is not clear whether they come face

to-face, and what it will distance.

The King of the Night as a way always gorgeous, strong,

strong, confident and steadfast, sometimes

even for a few seconds visit thought it would be

Game of Thrones is not ill for the living, and for him.

The promo showed all Only one fragment Deyneris,

and on it heavily to build any guesses.

She Tirion in the room with a painted table, thoughtfully

He looks into the distance.

Most likely Tyrion gives her what that advice, and it

decides to take his or no.

Maybe even in question about whether to fly to the rescue

to John or not.

During frames Vinterfela we hear the voice of Arya, she

He says, "You are afraid, is not it?

What are you afraid of? "

The fifth series showed us as the little finger finally

proved himself, he continues to stick to your

the principle of "Chaos is a ladder" and tries to set up the sisters

against each other, using the fact that they have a child

We never found general language.

Scenes from the promo likely They are a continuation of

this game Pinky, Arya able to follow the Sancy,

and at some point she herself He issued, and Sansa was afraid.

It's also possible they discuss letter that Arya accidentally

found in the little finger, Sanz explained sister was scared,

and I was forced to write all that she dictated.

Do find common language sister Struck see in the next

series, and if you remember Sansa it from the trailer

about that lone wolf winter is dying, and a flock of living,

you can not doubt, that they would find.

What do you expect from the sixth series?

Share your opinion about whether Dzhendri survive

and other interesting you moments in the comments.

thumbs up and subscribe per channel if it is not signed.

I will be glad to see you in a group channel in VKontakte and

How Does Medicare Work? | Steinlage Insurance Agency - Duration: 15:25.

Hello everyone this is Karl Steinlage, teaching you the number one secret on

how to master Medicare. If you're turning 65, retiring soon, this is the video for you.

So what we're going to talk about today is the Medicare world and a lot of

times when you turn 65 you get inundated with information. You have companies

calling you, you have mail out the wazoo, you have all these different plans and

what I'm going to try to do today is simplify that process and give you a

high-level understanding of the Medicare program. So let's go.

Medicare has two beginning components and those are known as Part A and Part B of Medicare.

Part A is free to you and covers hospitalization services and Part B is

premium based and that premium is determined by the government.

For 2017, it's a hundred and thirty four dollars a month. That can change every year in

January and it has at least for the most part no bearing on the insurance plan

that you pick. So if you buy a different supplement from different insurers or a

Medicare advantage plan, that hundred and thirty-four dollars is the same price

and on average what Medicare is going to do, is it's going to pay 80% for

hospitalization and medical services. So if you go to a primary care doctor, you

go in the hospital overnight, you show that red white and blue Medicare card,

they pay about 80% and that leaves a pretty big gap with the 20%. It leaves

nothing for prescriptions because prescription coverage is not included in

the Medicare A and B program and it doesn't do anything for some extras like

dental and vision and SilverSneakers. So that's where all these extra plans that

you get in the mail, your friends have, your parents have, they help supplement

and fill some of these gaps left behind by Medicare. So they'll cover that 20%

depending on the plan you pick. They'll cover your prescriptions, they'll help with

dental and vision as well and some plans will give you a benefit called

SilverSneakers which is a free gym membership.

So we do at the Steinlage Agency is we work with all

of the different carriers that offer you these plans and we help figure out the

right fit for your specific situation. Our services are actually provided to

you at no cost. We receive compensation from the different insurance companies

that operate in the greater St. Louis area. And the best thing of all is that

these plans are the exact same price and benefit, regardless of how you buy the plan.

So that means that our assistance to you, is at no cost. Not a bad deal.

So all of these different plans fall into one of two distinct paths and my advice

to clients is to try to figure out or have at least some understanding of the

pros and cons of each path and kind of make that decision not so much on what

insurance company you want yet, but try to kind of narrow it down to which path

you think is right for your situation.

So the first path that we're going to

talk about is supplementing original Medicare.

So half of those plans that you

see in the mail, online, are Medicare supplement plans and these plans sit

behind Medicare and just pay the balances left behind. So if you go to

your doctor, you show that red white and blue Medicare card, you then buy a

supplemental card or a supplemental plan, which are lettered policies A through N

and the government has standardized all these plans. Most people I find pick

either plan F, plan G or plan N because those give you the best blend of

comprehensiveness and low premiums.

In the greater St. Louis area,

somebody can expect to pay about a hundred and thirty dollars a month for a

plan G which would pick up the full 20% balance. So if you bought this supplement,

paying that premium, you would show your red white and blue Medicare card plus

your secondary plan, to any doctor, any hospital in the country,

no referrals, no networks, no pre authorizations and you would walk out of

there paying very little of anything out of pocket.

Same thing for hospitalization, ambulance, MRIs, physical therapy, all that fun stuff

nobody likes to think about.

Also on this side, you would really need to add

something called a standalone drug plan because Medicare A and B don't cover

prescriptions. Prescription coverage is actually administered by the federal

government so, Medicare CMS is kind of the referee. They enforce the rules, they

create the rules, but then they let these private companies, a lot of them are

similar to who you've had through employer insurance and they let these

private companies figure out how to operate and make a buck within the

Medicare space and these plans are state specific.

For 2017, in Missouri, the range

on Medicare Part D on a low end is $17 a month, on a high end is one hundred and

fifty. And how do you figure out which one of these plans, because there's 23 of

them. As there isn't enough to confuse you, there's 23 stand-alone drug

plans and all those plans signed a one-year contract with the government.

So what we'll do for you now and on an annual basis at no charge

to you is, we will review your specific medications and help you figure out

which one of these 23 plans is right for your situation. We'll look at your

medications, your pharmacy, the premium the plans charge, whether or not they

make you try other drugs first and help you figure this out. We'll also work with

you annually during the annual enrollment period, which is October 15th

through December 7th, to see if there's any reason to change.

And what you might

do during that time frame is either change your standalone drug plan or

decide to jump over into what's called Medicare Advantage, which is the other

side or my handwriting please don't judge me.

Medicare Advantage plans represent the other half of the plans that are filling

up your mailbox and what these plans are touting, many times is low or no plan premiums.

And they range based off of where you live, the insurers, whether it's

an HMO or a PPO, but the concept is the same.

So on this side what you have is

you have two people paying for your claim. You have Original Medicare which

is that red white and blue card and then the Medicare supplement plan that you're

paying an extra premium for. So a hundred dollar claim, $80 is paid here, $20 paid

here, you walk out paying zero. What people really like about this side is

the comprehensiveness, the ability to go anywhere you want and when you first

turn 65 or get on a Medicare Part B, you have a one-time opportunity to purchase

a Medicare supplement plan without answering any health questions.

So if you have pre-existings or you're worried about your health, you have a window to

jump onto one of these plans and they can't ask you any health questions.

What people don't like about this side is that you have to pay additional premiums,

which can change and many times Medicare supplement plans increase occasionally

the benefits can never change but the rate can change. So what makes Medicare

Advantage attractive to a lot of people is that you don't have to pay additional

premiums. So how does it work? Well what happens is the federal government,

Medicare. looks at where you live and it's all done by county, zip code, etc.

where Medicare and a supplement are universal and accepted anywhere in the

country, Medicare Advantage plans are a little more regional. So what happens is

the government looks at where you live and they average the cost of Medicare A and B.

So, example, in the greater St. Louis area, you have thousands of people

on Medicare, people sixty-five, seventy, in nursing homes,

people who never see doctors. Medicare averages all of that 80% and they kind

of know what they spend per year and instead of paying your claim as its

incurred at 80/20 with the supplement, the government subsidizes the private

carrier that you choose and that's where they receive their compensation.

So you still have Medicare, you still have to pay your Part A in your Part B premium,

but you agree to get all of your Medicare benefits including prescription

drug coverage, through the private company and that private company takes

that money from Medicare and a lot of them in our area will charge you no

additional premiums. So what's the catch? Well the catch is that underneath

Medicare Advantage, you agree to follow the rules and stay within the network of

the insurance company that you choose. So these plans look a lot like your

employer plan. They might have ten to forty dollar co-pays at a doctor's, you

might have an ambulance fee or an emergency room fee, so instead of having

80/20, adding up to the hundred percent coverage, you have the private carrier

paying in place of Medicare. So you still pay Medicare, the Part B premium, so your

Part B premium comes out of your Social Security check and if you're not drawing

Social Security then it's just billed to you. Instead of using the red white and

blue Medicare card, you use the private insurance companies card and you show

that card to the doctor and at a doctor you might have a copay.

You might still be responsible for the 20%

charges for things like MRIs or chemo.

You'll have a defined network, which is sometimes a turn-off for people if you travel or if

you place a large premium or emphasis on openness and being able to

see any provider that takes Medicare, that's one of the unique benefits that

attract a lot of people to the Supplemental plans.

So you have a defined network, many times on the HMO plans you'll need to

designate a primary care doctor and get a referral and then there's something

else called pre-authorization, which is a scary long word but basically

pre-authorization means that the private insurance company, being primary, might

have the opportunity to pre-approve or require you or your doctor to go through

a pre-approval process for certain services and each plan is different so

as far as a high low level overview a Medicare Advantage plan might charge you

no additional premium because the government is subsidizing that plan but

then instead of having the 80/20, you pay co-pays as you go you pay 20% charges

for MRIs, for chemotherapy, for hospitalizations, and most of these plans

in fact all of them, will put a maximum exposure financially between three

thousand and sixty seven hundred dollars per year. So if you do get really sick,

this one might be more expensive than this side and that's kind of the risk-

reward is that in a normal or a great year, you might pay as little as zero or

maybe a hundred dollars if you have three or four office visits and some lab

work but if you get really sick, the Medicare Advantage plan may be more

expensive than what the annualized premiums are on the supplement and the

drug plan. So a lot of people like the stability of

knowing what they're going to pay whether they use it or not or if they

have a bad year. Other people might be turned off by these premiums and be more

comfortable paying as they go knowing that if they do have a bad year, they

might end up owing more in that year. If you decide that Medicare Advantage is

right for you, there are 18, in 2017 at least, there are 18 Medicare Advantage

plans that a person can purchase in St. Louis and St. Charles County. Our agency

sells all 18 Medicare Advantage plans. So we can work with you to try to find

which plan has your doctors in network, your preferred hospitals, cover your

prescriptions for the lowest possible cost because Medicare Part D is

typically included in Medicare Advantage. You do not have to pay for the majority

of these plans an additional premium to purchase prescription drug coverage, it's

included in the plan. If you decide to start with Medicare Advantage there's no

underwriting, meaning you don't have to answer any health questions because the

plans are subsidized by the government. But if you decide during that annual

enrollment period, that Medicare Advantage is no longer right for you and

you decide you want to jump paths back to this way, then you have to wait and to

purchase a Medicare supplement plan, your age and your health determine whether or

not you're insurable and what price per month you pay and that sometimes turns

some people off the Medicare Advantage. They think well if I'm healthy now and I

get sick and I have to spend three, four, five, grand out of pocket and that's a

chronic condition, I might not be able to jump back over here later on in life.

In conclusion, Medicare really is boiled down to two distinct paths and I find

looking at this from a bird's eye view really helps people grasp the

differences in the pros and cons between the two distinct paths and what our

agency will do for you is we will help figure out which one of these makes the

most sense for your situation, which one you're most comfortable with and then

we'll work with you year in and year out, to make sure that you're not overpaying

or on an incorrect plan for your situation. Again our expenses are paid

directly by the insurance companies, so our help is at no cost to you and being

an independent agency, we work for you.

What Are The Problems With A FSBO Property? - Duration: 5:48.

Hello, ladies and gentleman.

Thank you for coming to this week's video blog.

Hope you're having a fantastic day.

Robert Rico here with California Realty Training hoping to make you a better realtor and get

your new real estate career off the ground and rocking and rolling.

Listen, today's topic, FSBO's.

Now, what's a FSBO?

That word almost sounds kind of funny, FSBO.

FSBO stands for for sale by owner, for sale by owner.

Now, let's talk about this.

What is a for sale by owner property?

Think about the words there, for sale by owner.

A for sale by owner is an owner of a house.

Let's assume this room is a house ... Is an owner of a house who says, you know what,

I don't want a realtor involved in this transaction.

I don't want a realtor anywhere near me.

I want to handle this myself.

Now, why would somebody do that?

Why would somebody not want the expertise of an experienced professional real estate

agent?

Why would a person not want these abilities of a professional?

Now, typically they don't hire a professional real estate agent because they're trying to

save on commission.

They're trying to save their money that would have been paid to a realtor when they pay

the commission.

They're trying to save some money and do the whole transaction themselves.

Put the house on the market, sell the house, run the contracts, close the deal, open escrow

- they're trying to do all these things that are or can be very complicating

by themselves with no experience.

Why in the heck would somebody want to do that?

Well, some people still do that to save commission, for sale by owner.

Now, why is that not such a good idea?

Now, let's think about this.

Why is that not such a good idea?

Ready, here it goes.

Owner of a house, "Honey, I want to sell the house.

Let's put the house on the market."

"All right, honey.

Let's do it.

Let's do it ourselves, for sale by owner."

"Okay, I'll put a sign in the front yard."

They walk out to the front yard, and they put a big stake and boom, and they put it

down, and they hammer it down.

It says for sale by owner, call me now.

That'll be like you trying to sell your car and putting a sign on the windshield and that

would be it.

Eventually, somebody would come around and make you an offer.

Wouldn't it be better if you advertise your car, I don't know, maybe on Craigslist?

Something that has been proven to be effective when it comes to selling property.

Same thing with for sale by owner, same thing with real estate.

By not having a real estate agent, you are not allowing this house to be promoted on

the MLS.

Are you kidding me?

You are not allowing this house to be listed on the MLS, the multiple listing service where

everybody goes or everybody visits when looking for property for sale.

You are limiting yourself, a for sale by owner person.

They are limiting themselves to the internet and to a sign in the front yard.

They are not allowing themselves to advertise on the most popular effective manner which

is the MLS.

Another reason a for sale by owner might want to consider hiring a real estate agent instead

of doing it themselves is because once you price a property, you might be pricing it

too low.

Most for sale by owner people, they don't know how to run comparables.

They don't know how to price a house.

They might say, "Oh, I think my house is worth $700,000 when it might be worth a million."

Why not hire a professional and allow them to give you their advice?

They know how to run comparables.

They have the equipment.

They have the knowledge.

They have the data.

The data, they have the data to put a comparative market analysis together, a CMA, a comparative

market analysis together on paper, review it, analyze this, and then come up with an

appropriate price for a home.

A for sale by owner doesn't have that ability, at least not the whole information.

Another thing is, let's assume they do get an offer, now we're going to open escrow.

Have you ever seen paperwork at an escrow deal?

Have you ever boughten a house and seen the paperwork involved in a escrow

transaction?

Oh, my god.

It's so overwhelming.

You're talking about the contract itself, the RPA, residential purchase agreement.

You're talking about disclosures.

You're talking about escrow instructions.

You're talking about the grand deed.

You're talking about important stuff, legal documents.

Now with the average person who's never sold a house before, how are they going

to be able to figure it all out?

It's almost impossible, yet they're trying to save themselves a few bucks.

I want to save myself some money, not hire an agent, and do all of this myself.

That's like trying to be your own mechanic.

I can figure this engine out myself.

I've never gone to a mechanic school, but I can figure this out.

Oh, are you kidding me?

Think about that.

Sure, it's a free country.

You can do what you want.

You can sell your house alone.

Sure.

Why would you?

Why not get the best of the best?

Hire a real estate agent to market it properly, to explain the process properly to you, to

defend you and to protect you when it comes to negotiations, to close the deal in a reasonable

amount of time and appropriately without any type of legal actions against you.

Why wouldn't you want it that way?

When it comes to the for sale by owners which we call FSBO's, all of you new agents out

there when you get your license and you see a for sale by owner, do yourself a favor,

better yet do them a favor, let them know the importance.

Let them know the importance of hiring a professional licensed real estate agent to protect them.

Hope this helps you out when it comes to for sale by owners.

Thank you for coming to this week's video blog.

We hope to see you next week.

If you have any concerns or questions or if you want a topic that you want us to discuss,

hey, do us a favor, do yourself a favor, leave it down in the comments section.

We'll see you next week.

Hey, do me a favor.

Have a great day.

See you next week.

It's between the Achilles tendon and the shin bone called Tibia.

This is called Kidney 7 or K7 and it helps to regulate water balance including sweating.

You may be having excessive sweating because of nervousness.

If that's the case, press the following points to calm down and relax.

Draw a line from the base of the ring finger and pinky finger towards the wrist and it's

where it stops on the wrist crease.

It's right next to the big tendon on the inside.

Give me thumbs up.

The next one is where the middle finger is touching the palm.

It's slightly off towards the thumb from the center of the palm.

This is called Pericardium 8 or P8.

Excessive sweating can be a sign of disease.

2017 ASLHC Gala Presentation - Duration: 26:44.

Good evening, everyone. I know you are still eating but we have to keep the night moving or you will be home at midnight.

So for those of you who don't know me, I'm Tammy Litts. I'm the executive director at Albuquerque Speech, Language and Hearing Center. [applause]

That might sound like a big title to a lot of you but those of you who work for a small business who are a non profit know that's really not the case.

It's my job really to work with a group of volunteers that come to our center monthly to donate their time to make sure that we are doing what we are supposed to be doing and treating the patients we are supposed to be treating.

They are a group of volunteers that put this wonderful Gala together for you guys tonight. You guys know our Board of Directors and they volunteer their time so let's give them a great hand.

[applause]

And it's also my job to put together a group of Audiologists and Speech Language Pathologists that come and treat our patients.

These are some of the best in the state. I got a couple here who always say I can't say that but I know that it's true and she is smiling.

And these people could work anywhere. They have worked other places that pay them a lot more but they choose to work for us because of what we do, who we are and the people we help.

And then there is our admin staff.

These people are the front line of the Center. They come in every day. They advocate for our patients.

They make sure they have insurance coverage and if they don't, how are we going to pay for this and how are we going to get a prior authorization and they do all of that.

Okay why? Why do these people do that? I mean, my gosh, that's a lot of work, right?

Let me tell you, it's because of the patients we see and we get our gratification from seeing these patients and interacting with them.

As a matter of fact, this past year a good friend of mine gave me an electronic ...

it's electric fireplace and it was put it in my office and the kids come down the hall way and they love coming in my office.

Even over the goldfish, go figure, fireplace over a goldfish. (audience laughs)

There is this one little boy who hadn't spoke a word since he started at the Center.

And he came into my office today and turned me around and he looked right at that fireplace and he told me, it's your turn, you turn it on.

Clear as a bell from a boy who hadn't said a word when he started with us. That's our gratification.

And it's also meeting this woman who comes into my office and she is this wonderful woman and has such a history with our Center.

She has been there probably since the beginning but not really the beginning. But she has become my friend and I asked her one day,

I said, would you come and speak at our Gala because

people need to hear what you have to say and she said, "yes."

And I would like to introduce Kathleen Myers to you.

[applause]

Thank you Tammy for that wonderful welcome. I really appreciate it.

I have to admit I'm a little nervous standing here seeing a sea of faces. So, if I have a little emotion in my voice, you know why. (audience chuckles)

Can everyone hear me okay?

(Audience-"yes!")

My husband is reminding me to turn on the clicker. Can everyone in the back hear me okay?

(Audience-"yes!")

I wanted to share with you, The Journey. Time has gone by bringing oneself to a full circle.

I often reflect on how my personal journey of language, speech and hearing started. How it created an unexpected path for me, for my future over 50 years ago.

At that time, I entered this silent world, a world of no sound to very young hearing parents. As my dad likes to tell people, we have three children, two who are Deaf and one who will not listen.

(Audience laughter)

My mom wondered, how she is going to raise two Deaf children?

My dad was concerned. Yet, he was undaunted for providing for the family. He knew that he had to provide much needed services for his Deaf children.

My mom became an advocate for her children. Yet, my mom anguished with the thoughts of....... my children are Deaf.....

Would they ever be able to speak... let alone hear? Would they, David and Kathleen ever be able to say verbally say "I love you mom."

Would they ever be able to participate, hear and live and work in the hearing world if they cannot hear or talk?

How will I help my children succeed?

This story actually began before I was born, with my older brother David. My grandmother noticed that David loved to bang on the pots and pans as loudly as he could

and my family noticed that David would not turn his head when his name was called.

So my mom had his hearing tested only to find out that David had a severe hearing loss.

Those questions became the driving force for my mom to find answers before she discovered the Albuquerque Speech, Language and Hearing Center known fondly as The Center.

It was a relatively newly established non profit agency that had opened its doors for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing on October 15th, 1952.

In 1963, The Center became our family's guide post of Hope.

My parents had to face two options. One was to send my brother away to a Deaf school where professionals had told my parents once he graduates perhaps he could train as a baker.

They felt that his potential was limited with just those words.

The second option which in 1960 was very controversial. And that was the Oral approach and therefore, to send him to the preschool program at The Center.

Once David was accepted, my mom was still in disbelief. And could not ... did not even bring him to school.

After all, David was two and a half years old and he would put clocks up next to his cheek to feel the vibration and try to imitate the sounds.

They just couldn't believe it.

So The Center's director Maryann Holpp followed through and she called my mom and told my mom if you want David to succeed, you need to bring him to school NOW.

From that moment on, Maryann Holpp became my mom's trusty mentor because she was a truly a pioneer in believing in the Oral approach and believing that Deaf and Hard of Hearing children could do anything.

As the years passed, it became my turn to follow my brother's foot steps. The little boy in the back, that's my brother. He had been .

(Technical Difficulties) Could someone check the microphone? Can anyone hear me? Audience replies, "no".

Okay, let's see, it seems we have a technical issue.

(feedback from mic) Sorry about that.

Can everyone hear me now? (audience replies, "yes!")

Anyways, as I was saying that's my brother in the back.

So, As the years passed, it became my turn to follow my brother's foot steps. He had been attending The Center for about two years at this point.

By this time my parents knew what to do. After all, David had already paved the way.

Despite my mom's suspicions of my deafness, they still had to follow with the hearing test.

As my mom walked into the hallway carrying me after finding out the result, she was feeling crestfallen and resigned even though she had her premonitions.

Dorothy Formea, the preschool teacher came up to her and asked what the results?

My mom says, Kathleen was diagnosed with a severe hearing loss. Dorthy, she looked at my mom and throws up her arms and goes Hallelujah! (audience chuckles)

And those words made my mom feel at ease because she knew I was in good hands.

Each day my mom would wait for us while we were receiving services at The Center. As she waited, my mom often volunteered in the classroom.

Our classroom was very simple. It consisted of tables, chairs and a few instructional posters.

And an all time favorite item was the wooden kitchen play set that you see right over here.

And that was donated by the Phi... the Gamma Phi Beta sorority at the Center's 10 year anniversary.

They also provided the auditory training equipment and furnished the waiting room at The Center. These tools provided much needed service and support for the clients.

The services were for all ages providing hearing health care, identification of hearing disorders, hearing tests, hearing aids and speech therapy programs.

Although The Center has moved a few times since, that wooden kitchen play set is still a fixture today after 52 years.

In the classroom, Dorthy Formea was truly an outstanding teacher. She went above and beyond the traditional teachings.

She would be on the floor with the children ensuring she was eye level to us and constantly working on words and auditory training.

Day in and day out.

We would look at Mrs. Formea or as we called her Dor -thee.

She would work on our lessons which rarely varied on a typical day, the children sitting in a semi circle and she would say, Today is Mon-----daaay.

Say Mon-----daaay. And we would have to put our fingers on our neck so we could feel the vibration.

We would have to repeat that word Mon-----daaay until she was satisfied.

She would state, "stand up" and asking, "is it sun-nny or cloud--dy outside?

The kids would run to the window and gaze in wonder. And we would have to bring back our answers. We would have to say sun-nny Or cloud--dy

During the lessons, my classmates all with various technology on their ears from behind the ear to the box style to the headset which the teacher's voice would go directly into their ears from the microphone

each of us would fidget, you know how preschoolers do.

Look how young all of us look up there and for those who are curious. I'm the one in the blue dress.

(audience laughs)

Anyhow, sometimes we would sit there quietly absorbing our lessons. Imagine, snack time was not even a break.

It was a continuation of lessons. We had to say juice please. Cracker please.

Play time consisted of playing ..I'm sorry... play time consisted of cooking. And saying water, sink, hot around our kitchen play set that I showed you guys earlier.

Dorthy would exaggerate the word hot. Hot, hot, hot. So we would learn the meaning of hot as well as understanding it verbally and hearing it.

Our lessons went beyond the walls of the classroom. Into our homes and into our lives and into the future to present day.

There was no break as I recall. Looking intently at my mother I would cock my best ear to best hear her and turning her poor little neck to my best vantage point...

and she complains she has neck problems to this day.

(Audience laughter)

Anyways, I would listen every day constantly listening day in and day out.

Paul versus ball. To show the puh and the buh sound.

Paul, ball. Ball..... the ball is red. The ball is round. Roll the ball. Say ball.

Trying to say the word ball at the tender age of one and a half for the next four years.

Those words constantly repeated to train my ears in listening, words repeated to enforce my speech training.

Where is the ball? Bring me the ball. Does Paul have the ball? Ball. Apple. Momma. Da--vad for David. Ball is round. I want. Please.

Until each word was mastered verbally and auditorily. Even using lip reading skills that developed over time.

Every word became a lesson. Every word was to be heard. Repeated and mastered and it continues to this day.

This would be equivalent of placing a hearing child in a soundproof room and teaching them a foreign language.

However, that hearing child had one advantage, that they know the sounds exist.

A hard of hearing child however does not. So it takes time for that hard of hearing child to associate sounds and words.

To mimic and to put together vowels and consonants and merge them into a word. Let alone sentences. They have to utilize lip reading, listening, and saying the word.

In the early 1960s, my brother David was fitted with the latest technology, hearing aid technology. He had a box like device strapped around his chest.

Being younger in 1967 I had the advantage of the newer technology which was behind the ears as you can't even see my hearing aids in the picture.

Technology has truly moved so quickly in such a short period of time.

It was here at The Center where we got our first experience in the sound booth.

It was here where we first heard sound with our hearing aids.

It was here where we received speech and language services.

It was here where I attended preschool with other children like myself.

It was here where we celebrated many birthdays

Because of it being "HERE," the Center became our other home.

The Center believed strongly in social skills and they would invite other hearing children to ummmm I messed up a little bit. backing up.

The Center believed strongly in social skills and they would invite other children for us to interact with so we could practice our emergent skills of communication.

At one of these interactions my hearing sister, you know... the one that won't listen,

(audience laughs)

she tells the teacher Dorthy with her arms crossed, Dorthy, I don't have hearing aids and I can't hear. Can I go to this school.

(audience awws/chuckles)

Without the training I had received from The Center, I would not have been mainstreamed upon entering elementary school.

After all, it was at The Center where I learned the socialization skills required to intermingle. I learned the basic language of words and auditory skills.

no.....it wasn't perfect, I have to admit that.

During elementary age school one morning my dad had jumped into the shower and he forgot to lock the door.

Hearing someone in the bathroom he peaked out behind the shower curtain and he says, Kathleen, do you mind?

And I then responded to what I thought I had heard and said, "yes, daddy. I'm yours."

(audience laughs)

Of course, what I heard my dad had said... or what I thought I heard was, "Kathleen, are you mine?"

(audience laughs)

After an illness in elementary school I was unable to return for the remainder of the year.

However, it was a relief because I had someone on my side, my Aunt. She is a certified teacher and she took over my lessons as well as my speech and language therapy for the remaining of the year. .

She continued the same methods as the Center did in the year's past.

Throughout the years I would return to the Center.

and get new hearing aids. I would get fitted for ear molds.

I would even return during college for speech and language therapy because I had lost my (more) hearing and I wanted to keep up my skills.

and in the early 1980s, I wanted to explore on becoming a teacher for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing.

The Center welcomed me as a volunteer during my high school summer years and this is where I blossomed.

I discovered I wanted a career in working in social services with this population.

I had the privilege of working alongside with Dorthy Formea in the preschool and I got to witness the same ingrained lessons of long ago, still being practiced.

Here the Center I loved being a role model for the children and a resource for their parents.

To share my knowledge and my experiences.

It was at The Center and under the tutelage of the Director, Maryann Holpp and Dorthy Formea

is where I learned a valuable lesson of "paying it forward."

Dorthy was truly incredible. She had a loud booming voice and a never ending enthusiasm.

She had a loving way of making each child feel special.

She certainly was a passionate advocate and a mentor to many children at The Center.

I wanted to carry on her passion to be like her.

I relied heavily on my speech skills, my lip reading skills and my auditory skills and an internal determination that I acquired from the Center and from my parents.

I continued on to get my Bachelor's Degree in Psychology and a Masters in Social Work.

I went on to work for the public schools and at a Deaf Center.

Amazingly, I had many of my former preschoolers from my summer volunteer job.

These preschoolers were now in middle school and high school

And it was such a joy to see how they had progressed, utilizing the same skills and foundation that I got from the Center.

As a social worker, I worked specifically with Deaf and Hard of Hearing... children and adults

providing the bridge of communication, ensuring that they received the support they needed.

Many of my classmates and my former students had moved on......

becoming an electrician, a communications specialist, a pharmacist, a human resource manager, just to name a few.

My brother David who started this journey before I did... continued on ...

getting his Bachelor's degree in Engineering and a Master's in Teaching. Today he teaches ASL, American Sign Language to hearing high school students.

I am a wife of 22 years and a mom of three boys in a hearing household that is loud, chaotic and rowdy. Trust me, it is very chaotic in my house.

(audience laughs)

But I can hear all of this and I can interact with.

As a mom I even found myself utilizing speech and language methods for one of my own children,

a preschooler whose speech was delayed for a short time and I got him caught up with his peers.

Today I volunteer with Cochlear Americas

and with The Center which allows me to continue to pay it forward.

for those with a hearing loss, to help them find hope , support, and resources...

All of which, the Center remains in the forefront in both services and in hearing technology

As I stand here sharing my story that started over 50 years ago

I need to thank each person who has worked at the Center.....

I need to thank each person who has contributed to the Center.....

From the beginnings in the 1950s through the years and it continues to present day.

Because with you, with the Center's passion of helping others,

that Beacon of Hope did become an achievement for my parents, for my brother and myself.

I would love to see this honored tradition of hope continue for others... today, tomorrow and in the future.

Just like it did for my family 53 years ago.

I must end this story. I could talk all night.

(audience laughs)

If you like me to,

but I need to end this story thanking my parents, Richard and Cecilia

sitting over there at our table for successfully raising two

[applause]

I have to thank them for raising two successfully .... successfully raising two severe Deaf and hard of hearing children

and for one hearing child that still won't listen, she is right there

(audience laughs)

And for my Aunt Chia, or Lucille, over here... who provided a never ending support

which all started with Hope at the Albuquerque Speech, Language and Hearing Center.

Thank you for letting me present tonight and it's been an honor. [applause]

(applause...standing ovation)

I don't know if I'm supposed to continue on or wait for someone to come on up. Thank you. [applause]
