Math Can Be So Much Fun
Do you think that math is fun? Most people don’t. It’s a well-known statistic today that math skills of most people are worse than at any other point in time. This is caused by the fact that all the work is done by computers for us.
You don’t even have to track your grocery expenses, because the cashier and her computer do the work instead. And what person is willing to do it by himself, if he will later experience his results are wrong and a computer can do it in a much shorter time?
Even when controlling our income and expenses at home or at work we use a spreadsheet, just because it is so conveneint. It seems there is simply no need to add numbers in our head anymore. However, technology has one pitfall: we as a nation hardly have a feel for numbers at all anymore.
For instance, consider the current financial crisis - if people were able to understand and comprehend what those everyday numbers meant, the situation would not be as dire as they are now. It is time to learn math again or at least teach our children so that they will be able to deal with an economic environment that will likely be very different than ours.
There are many cool math games you can play with your kids. This way they learn to deal with numbers instead of being afraid of them. A guide that can help you is the vedic math e-book that can be downloaded online. It is getting more popular every day as people like you and me start having fun with math again.
