We already know math, as much as number haters want to hate, can make for some memorable movie story lines. Looking beyond cinematic glory, have you ever noticed the occurrences of geometry and algebra in the works of art that make up museums and count among the wonders of the world? From the pyramids of Egypt to the bracelet adorning your wrist today, prepare to have your mind blown by the way Read more
Calculus isn't every student's forte, but even those who are more grammar nerds than number whizzes can appreciate the inspiring talent of people that can answer complicated equations without scribbling on scratch paper or counting off on fingers and toes. We have a soft spot for movies that delve into the complicated head of math geniuses. With trademarks like frantic chalkboard formula solving Read more
Other than some kind of push to get people interested in math, I don't know we need a National Π Day, but we have it. And, at least, the day is well chosen: March 14 (or 3/14) for the 3.14 the Greek letter represents in math.

The Ohio State graduate, however, could not do basic math. I'm no mathlete either, but this is one of the most excruciating episodes of this show I've ever watched. She positively luxuriates in her refusal to figure out a Read more
Children can learn how to count at an early age by doing mundane tasks. Next time mom brings the tot her meal or tosses the lil one in the bathtub, she can introduce a lesson in math. Check out the slideshow to see how you can get your wee one involved in adding things up! Read more
Differences in math performance among girls and boys has little to do with the natural abilities of the sexes; it's all about culture. While this finding isn't shocking to a girl who's felt just as smart as her male classmates (or a girl who's struggled alongside some boys for that matter), a new study officially debunks the myth that boys are innately better at math. The study looked at various Read more
The coins tossed in your kiddo's ceramic bank certainly add up! My tots have been filling up their piggy banks with spare change for quite some time so it was no surprise when my five-year-old could no longer lift hers off the bookshelf. On a recent rainy afternoon, we decided to break it open and count coins. My two-year-old son practiced his sorting skills picking out all of the copper Read more
March 14th is Pi Day, since 3/14 is the closest you'll get to the mathematical constant π (roughly 3.14). I think I'll celebrate with a piece of pie at 1:59 p.m. — Pi Minute— as π reduced to five decimal places becomes 3.14159. Do you know your Pi trivia? Find out! Source Take the Quiz Read more
