Math is fun!

Treat mathematical concepts like your favourite stories and you will start liking it! Of course, every math problem has a begining and an end like a story. The steps in between. are the statements you read in the story. Visualise the concepts as you visualise the hero/heroine of the story... and that is it! Math is fun!

Maths Riddle

On a table are 20 identical coins.
Six of the coins are showing Heads, the rest Tails.

You are blindfolded.
You cannot tell Heads from Tails by touch.

Separate the coins into 2 sets so that there is the same number of Heads in each set.

website I came across recently

I really enjoyed this website. It gives lot of notes for all chapters required for higher level maths classes. It is helpful both for teachers as well as students.
