                                    Welcome! 

                  You are at MATH MINUTE!

                         - as heard on Car Talk

 

            MATH MINUTE! is an online program aimed at ALL math-oriented people regardless of age or ability. It is designed to intrigue, challenge, and delight all.

            Keep thinking about the Puzzle during the week- if you do not see it at first.

            It may come to you, the mind works in mysterious ways!

            Above all - have fun!!


         I will make two puzzles each week.

         Part A will be at a more beginning level, and Part B will be a little more advanced.

         Work on both parts, even when one seems too easy - or too difficult!
