Just when I thought I'd seen some outstanding and creative ideas to link math with the arts, along comes this one! Number One teaches Zero an important lesson about his value. My hat is off to the Alexmeister for this creative idea! A great assignment to enage your students and perhaps just hook them into learning! If you have a great idea to share, be sure to add it in comments.

I'm sure this great little math game has been around for some time. However, if you haven't tried it with your students or kids at home, you're missing some great fun. You need a deck of math concept cards consisting of at least one card for everyone playing the game. The cards get handed out and anyone can start. The first person states what is on the card: 'I have 18, who has 6 less', the next person states: 'I have 12, who has this times 2? And so it goes. The beauty about this game is that everyone engages and does the math! You can make cards up to suit your concept or use the ready mades found here.

Enjoy, and remember, the possibilities for these games are endless!

March 14th is Pi Day! 3.14 are the first 3 digits of March, hence Pi Day. Pi is greek and has been around for over 2000 years! An unofficial holiday, unfortunately. Celebrate with π which is the symbol for the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter which when calculated to 3 digits, is 3.14. And π is 270 years old today! Once you've decided how to celebrate π Day, find out all about Pi and deepen your understanding of the concept. The circumference of a circle is the actual length around the circle which is equal to 360°. Pi is the number needed to compute the circumference of the circle and is equal to 3.14

Here is a quick synopsis for using L Hopital's Rule which is used in Calculus on limits. It is a method of evaluation of limits of the form 0/0. It is also referred to as Bernoulli's Rule as it is believed that Bernoulli was the first to discover it. And, if it's all greek to you, check out the You Tube videos on indeterminate products, powers and differences where math can be seen and heard.
