  1. I have scoured the internet for Crewton's videos. Not proud to admit: I need more explanation.  I don't understand the WHY when it comes to multi-digit multiplication, or his algebraic equations. His five year old clearly gets it, I don't. The videos I have found have (not to be dramatic) revolutionized the way my boys view math. They HATED it before.   What's interesting is, we were doing Math U see. They are, in theory, the same approach, but MAN- what a difference it made to find Crewton's videos.  Was I just making it boring? Is it the way he presents it? I don't know, I just know Crewton made me realize I don't have to keep saying to my younger son, "No, don't try to do multiplication yet, you'll get confused." 

      Having said all that, the only videos I see regarding mutli-digit multiplication, and algebra, assume the viewer understands the model. I asked for a bit of clarification, and hopefully he will respond. I'm going to pay for a password and see if he lists those videos there. I can't afford Mortensen math. Not after all I have spent on curricula.
