Algebra Maths wiki Project Based learning online classroom: Logic Inc is a fictitious consulting company created by Mrs. Norfar, a mathematics instructor. The company was created to enable students to develop real-world skills while learning Algebra I, Algebra II, Algebra III, Statistics and Geometry principals. This site is designed to keep parents and students up to date on what is occurring in the classroom. 

From the abstract: "this study investigated how the perspectives of the non-computer science educators changed after learning game-programming and how it could be fitted into the K-12 curriculum. Fourteen non-computer science educators and/or administrators in the K - 16 educational systems who made up a cohort at Sam Houston State University, Master of Education/Instructional Technology Program participated in this study. The participants were required to learn two free Web 2.0 game-programming applications and reflect on an article related to reviving interest in math and science as part of their program. Qualitative data consisted of online reflections, and peer-review processes through Facebook. A quantitative component was added to the analysis. The findings indicated that: (a) the perspectives of the participants changed from negative to positive as they reflected on their own game-programming learning experiences; (b) participants came to understand how game programming could build up students' logical concepts and critical thinking skills improving performances in math, science, and other subjects; and (c) due to the benefits of logical concepts and critical thinking skills game programming could have immense benefits if built into the K-12 curriculum."

by David Berlinski, published January 2013. "In The King of Infinite Space, renowned mathematics writer David Berlinski provides a concise homage to this elusive mathematician and his staggering achievements. Berlinski shows that, for centuries, scientists and thinkers from Copernicus to Newton to Einstein have relied on Euclid's axiomatic system, a method of proof still taught in classrooms around the world. Euclid's use of elemental logic-and the mathematical statements he and others built from it-have dramatically expanded the frontiers of human knowledge. The King of Infinite Space presents a rich, accessible treatment of Euclid and his beautifully simple geometric system, which continues to shape the way we see the world."

Great ideas for bellringers, or just a fun way to kill personal time!

These puzzles are simple enough for anyone to try, but need some thinking to see how they work. They are based on logical thought rather than knowledge or memory or skill or arithmetic. They are also counter-intuitive (another way of saying that they're tricky!) Even if you can't work them out for yourself, once you know the trick, you can fool other people.

Subtitled "A Place for Elegant Solutions." From the author's description: "This blog is a presentation of the interesting solutions I come across, and an exploration of the deeper mathematical ideas therein. Most often this means exploring the mathematical structure of a problem to lubricate the cogs of algorithm design. In seldom cases, this involves using programs to reason about mathematical theory."

Largest database of question and answers on Aptitude and Reasoning covering Non Verbal Reasoning, Verbal Reasoning Logical Deduction, Verbal Reasoning Mental Ability, Quantitative Aptitude Arithmetic Ability, Quantitative Aptitude Data Interpretation.

"Our studio was created to help parents who want to give their children a better education than is provided by the majority of schools.....Our program is based on more than 30 years of teaching experience during which time we have synthesized the best of Russian, American, and European logical and thinking developmental programs."

We specialize in Mathematics Assignments that are complex enough, such as the Law of Probability or Differential and Integral Calculus, Science, Algebra, Geometry and topology, Combinatorics, Logic, Number theory etc Question Can a linear equation and a non linear inequality be solved in the same way? Explain Why. What makes them different?

A geological statistician from Toronto uses the same logic he applies to geological problems to demonstrate that the apparent randomness of the lottery is not true.
