What's a good fun math major in college that makes good money?
Q. I'm a senior in high school and I still haven't decided on a major. I like to solve things and I am good in math. I've always been good in math and I think I want to major in something that deals with math. I don't want to be a mathematician or someone that does math ALL day but something that deals with math. What are some fun math majors that make good money after college?

What are some fun math games for 2nd graders?
Q. I'm teaching a 2nd grade math class and I'm wondering if anyone has any easy and fun math games that the children might enjoy which would also help their math skills? I'm looking for anything I can do in the classroom with them - not computer or internet games. A detailed explanation or links to resources would be really helpful. Thanks in advance!

A. Turn any lesson into a game simply by grouping students and have them compete against each other. Ask a math question and the first to respond gets the point. Another game students like is math bingo.

Asked by helpfulgrliee - Mon Sep 29 15:21:58 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The best way to study for (not very exciting) math tests is to study with a friend. You can give each other problems to do and help each other when each of you gets stuck. If you are taking a lower-level class involving addition and subtraction, use candy. If you get the answer correct, you can eat it! However, if you are taking upper-level math classes, the best way to stay concentrated on and interested in what you are doing is to study in groups. Hope this helps!

A. A first-grader probably thinks of math as just boring workbooks with numbers in them. I'd suggest the best way to get her interested in math would be to subvert her. Ask her to help out with things while shopping or cooking. How much money does it take to buy these two things? Do we have enough? How much change should we get back? If this meal takes 35 minutes to prepare, what time will it be done? How many cups make a quart? How many glasses of milk can we get from a half-gallon? You might also try introducing math through arts and crafts... sorting, counting, and adding beads... symmetry and shapes in painting or coloring... and while you're sitting at your computer, there are plenty of games online, such as the Math Arcade at… [cont.]

A. He's probably ready to play cards. We played poker with our kids at about that age, as did one of the other families at the same nursery school. Both the boys are in college, studying math-heavy fields (physics for one, astronomy for the other). Did we give them a leg up? Hope so. Fractions are tough for some kids. If you start baking or cooking with him and use fractions, letting him measure (on the dishwasher's open door is the easiest clean-up for questionable pouring skills), he'll understand fractions years ahead of his peers. Once he's got them down, go metric.

A. Get him started doing math puzzles. Buy a puzzle book or make some up for him. Be sure you make the first ones easy enough for him to do so he begins with some success. He will tell you if they are too easy, so err on that side to begin with. Give him logic problems, riddles, arithmetic problems and puzzles; anything that will challenge his logical thinking. Once he finds out he can solve some of the problems, he will start enjoying it.

Fun math questions for pub quiz?
Q. What are some easy, but mind testing math questions that would entertain for a pub quiz? My audience isn't really math oriented (perhaps only a handful are). I'm looking for the kind of questions that will bring back memories of grade 8 and 9 math and test some people's memories. Or perhaps some obvious questions that make people second-guess.

How do you teach a high school math term to 5th graders in a fun and creative way?
Q. For my algebra class, I need to come up with a way to teach the term "expression" as in (algebraic expression), to 5th graders..I was thinking of opening to the class by comparing mathematical expressions to facial expressions, by putting up posters with these images: =) =( =O . Then i would say the biggest difference is that these facial expressions have equal signs and mathematical expressions don't. How do i continue the lesson by making it fun and creative yet still understandable and to the point??? thanks.

A. There's a section for learning expressions for fifth graders here: You can also say the parentheses are like rooms, like in a game where you go on a journey. You start out in the innermost room, and look what's in the room. To get out of the room, everything in the room has to work together, or, you have to solve the little bit of math in room to get out. And then once you're down to one number, that room "opens" (you can get rid of that set of parentheses) and now you're in the next room, with new things in the room, and you have to work together with the new things in the room, or, you have to solve the new piece of math presented, to get out. And so on, until all the parentheses are gone, and you are "free". Sorry that's kind of… [cont.]
