Learn mathematics and map reading

Hello kids and welcome to another journey to the cyberworld.

This is perfect kids software. Looking for some help in some subject and at some grade level? Come here and help yourself. Get your young ones introduced to letters of the alphabets with graphics and sounds. For the older one you can teach basics of map reading or teach him to identify the animal by its silhouette. For a still older one introduce astronomy, talk about stars, solar system, planets, satellites, eclipses, and meteors etc. You can also teach him borrowing, no, not borrowing money but borrowing whole numbers while subtracting. You can also take 2 boys to a camping trip where they learn mathematics and map, yes, map reading in a more adventurous way. All this is yours at symatico.

You always thought mathematics is a man’s play and not your cup of tea. For women is arts and music! Wake up! times have changed. In fact, you’ll find loads and loads of women mathematicians. What’s more, I can even quote some of the first Ph. Ds in mathematics by women before 1930. You will have to see to believe how many prizes, awards and honours women have received for mathematics. Find their names, photo credits and read their biographies. Read them and get inspired, for you can also aim to be one in the list. Now that one mentions it, don’t you think it is quite natural for women to excel in maths. Well, aren’t they more logical and level-headed than men?

Hey, mister why are you making a face??

Maths, Maths everywhere. Play games and keep a score. Want to know time, count money, bake a cake, find a radio station — everywhere maths is there. God, how I hate maths.
