Algebra, geometry, trigonometry, statistics
— what a 'calculative' site

WELCOME Friends! It's Monday again and also the time for us to share our weekly activities with all friends and plan for the next week. Final exams are drawing near and it is high time that all of us start concentrating on studies.

Cliparti: Hey! I have already started with the revision of my course. What about you Windy?

Windy: Yeah Cliparti, my studies are in full swing and I am working extra hard for my forthcoming exams. Hey look at this guy, why he is so quite today. Hey! What happened to you Fluppy?

Fluppy: Nothing much…

Cliparti: How are your studies going on buddy?

Fluppy: I have not even finished the course.

 


Windy: Ha! Ha! Ha! Hey Fluppy! Don't worry, be happy. Never mind, take your time and finish the course in another 6 months. What's the big issue? You can always appear in your exams next year. After all this is not Kumbh festival that's a 12 year ritual. Ha!Ha!Ha!

Fluppy: Thanks for your advice and take an advice from me also. Do not laugh too much as those who laugh too much at others they cry later.

Cliparti: Hey guys! Stop pulling legs. Come on Windy, let's help Fluppy finish his course early and boost his morale rather than making fun of him.

Windy: But this not the first time and it always happens with him.

Cliparti: Anyways, he is our darling friend and we have got to help him out.

Windy: Yeah you are right, Cliparti. Let's help him. In which all courses, are you lagging behind, Fluppy.

Fluppy: Should I take it seriously?

Cliparti: Of course, Fluppy! We are trying to help you out.

Fluppy: Ok. As usual Math is always my weak point and I am lagging behind in English also.

Cliparti: You log on to the site www.math.com and look for information of your interest and course. This is a comprehensive site on mathematics and covers topics like fractions, decimals, integers, exponents, inequalities, percentage, square roots etc. You can select the subject of your choice and can learn it in details. You can also choose specific subject in Maths like Basic Math, Everyday Math, Pre Algebra, Algebra, Geometry, Trignometry, Statistics, Calculus, etc.

Fluppy: Wow that covers a lot of topics.

Cliparti: On this site you will not only find details on these topics, but can also take up practice exams to test your knowledge of the subject. The practice tests are quite good and give ideas about various dimensions of the subject. If there is anything, which you are not able to follow, then you can take the help of experts in Ask an Expert section. This is a great feature of this site and can be helpful at times.

Fluppy: I am sure that this site is going to help me immensely.

Windy: Hey! There is even more on this site. If you register yourself, which is free, then you get a free software to download, which is very cool. I can say that because I have been using this software for sometime now. And the best part of this site is that if you are tired of studying mathematics and are looking for a change, then you can explore the games section for some fun.

Fluppy: Oh Really! Which all games are there, Windy.

Windy: Hey! You are back to your original state and just forgot that the purpose of this discussion was to help you cover your subjects easily.

Fluppy: Oh Yeah! I forgot by the mere mention of the word game.

Cliparti: That's bad. Anyways, for the English language, you can log on to the site http://homeworkspot.com/middle/english. This is a great site and has huge resource on English like detailed topics on grammar, reading skills, vocabulary and spellings, reading skills etc. There is another site http://school.discovery.com/homeworkhelp/bjpinchbeck/bjenglish.html, that is also a great site on learning English. You can check these sites for enhancing your knowledge of English.

Windy: That's a good discovery Cliparti & I hope Fluppy will also find it equally helpful. So on that note we will sign off for now and see you next week.
