Interesting Ways of Learning Maths

Friday Apr 17, 2009

One of the most hated subjects is Maths. Somehow, a large number of people end up hating mathmatics. I guess it has a lot to do with how it is taught. I have always found maths very fascinating. May be it was because, I have had fantastic teachers during my elementary school during my formative years.

I still remember how my teacher got me interested into maths. She told me many interesting stuff which, at that age, I had not thought of and which I found really fascinating.

She told me one day : “Have you ever wondered? You will always get an even number when you add two odd numers”. I promptly added one plus three. I got four. Even number. I added 5 and 7. I got 12. Even number. And so on. Then she told me, “now, the reverse is not true. If you add two even numbers, then again, you will get only even numbers”. That was true. I tried disproving it but failed.

But I was hooked onto odd numbers and even numbers and adding one to the other. I was hooked onto mathematics.
