MATH
MINUTE! is an online program aimed at ALL math-oriented people regardless of
age & ability. It is designed to intrigue, challenge, and delight all.
The
Puzzles will be of varying difficulties and on various mathematical subjects,
so if you have trouble with the Puzzle on one week, do not despair –
check out the Puzzle for next week, or check out the Hints/Responses of the
part of the Puzzle you did not understand (it does not hurt to learn something
new!). Keep thinking about the Puzzle during the week, it may come to you! The
mind works in mysterious ways.
Each
Monday a short puzzle will be given at this location, just click on the puzzle
name to see it. On the following Monday a follow-up discussion of the responses
received, hints & (some) solutions will be given here online, so stay
tuned!
Send
your comments, questions, ideas and solutions to the email address below
anytime before the following Monday!
