Math: A Love-Hate Relationship

A recent article on CNN discussed the results of a poll that showed 40% of adults hated math during school (particularly women). However, about 25% said they loved the subject.

One person who hated math said, "It was cold and calculating. There was no gray, it was black and white."

I know I fit in to the 25% category, since I loved math and science as a student (and still do). I hope the Gizmos that we create will bring some color to the black and white view of math that so many seem to have!

Earlier this month an article popped up in the Kansas City Star (registration may be required) which discussed using Gizmos to keep your mind in shape for the school year. "Just because you’re on summer vacation doesn’t mean your brain has to rot. Take advantage of the extended break to sharpen your math and science skills with the lessons at the ExploreLearning Web site."
