Cool Math Games Can Help Bring Out the Scientist in You...

Math is one of my favorite subjects...Cool Math looks like a nice website for kids to use for playing and learning...Cool Math Games is a spin-off site from the Coolmath.com website because its creators established that it would be better if the math games had their own site... Coolmath-games.com doesn't just have math games...It also has science, geography, reading and spelling games...Although Coolmath-games.com is the number one educational website in the U.S. , I really like khanacademy.org for it's "how to" video tutorials, math drills and progress tracking all for FREE...And for multiplication or times tables we usually use multiplication.com ...

Playing a few math games online is not necessarily going to single-handedly save the planet or put a man on the moon, but I believe it could foster a love of learning which all kids need throughout their lives...A scientist's ability to hypothesize, theorize and then experiment to prove theories are mostly grounded in math...Just recently a group of scientists may have debunked Einstein's 1905 Theory of Special Relativity which states that nothing in the universe can travel faster than the speed of light... Well, they have recorded sub-atomic particles travelling faster than light...That's just crazy fast... Although not everyone has the innate ability to be a rocket scientist, math is an integral part of our daily lives and it is important to know whether you are going to the market or the moon...
