Who is responsible for creating MATHSPHOBIA
in the child’s mind?
MOTHER ?
TEACHER ?
Dull teaching causes most people to shy away from maths. Understanding how children learn best is an important step towards improving maths learning.By providing conducive atmosphere.

7. “I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.”
Lack of practice?
MATHS IS LEARNT ONLY BY DOING.
DOING DEVELOPES UNDERSTANDING
SUCH A BEAUTIFUL LOGIC, NO MUGGING
FIND SO EASY, FOR EVER RECALLING.
“I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.”
1. Recognize you have an aversion to math, whether it's full-blown math phobia or just a few math blocks here and there.
2. Make a conscious decision to do something about it.
3. Give yourself a regular math workout, however small to start with.
You'll find it all gets easier, and you'll soon enjoy math once again.

8. INDIAN GENIUS 1729? Who was Srinivasa Ramanujan?
WHY GO SO FAR? STORY OF THE SON OF OUR OWN SOIL SIR RAMANUJAN
Who was Srinivasa Ramanujan?
A famous Indian mathematician who lived from 1887 to The theory of numbers brought worldwide fame to Ramanujan.
Some of us here know Sir Ramanujan worked at Cambridge University with the great mathematician, G.H. Hardy.His birth centenary was celebrated in1987.
1729?

9. Story time
Once the inspector visited the school. He entered the 4th std. class where his favorite subject was being tought.He posed a small question to the children. He asked them the sum of first 100 counting numbers.. All the children got busy to find the answer. Some started writing in the notebook,some started counting fingers. One little boy on the last bench was sitting very quietly watching the rest of the children. Inspectors always have a bad habit of catching the back benchers as during inspection teachers make the dull children sit at the back. So he asked the child ,”sweetheart, why don’t you want to give It a try?” Pat came the reply, sir, it's not a big deal. Answer is Inspector was very impressed with the child & asked him to explain. Child confidently replied ,sir ,if one adds two numbers at the extreme, every time one gets a total of 101.
(as 100+1;99+2, ) One gets 50 such pairs. Hence the answer is 101x50=5050. Inspector knew that one day this child prodigy is going to be a high achiever in life. Yes, his prophecy was true. Till the date we know him as Sir Ramanujan.

10. Of course, mathematical prodigies are born, not made
Of course, mathematical prodigies are born, not made. But it does beg the question:
"If somebody who can't even read or write is able to perform these kinds of breathtaking calculations, what stops other people from doing even simple sums?"
Clearly, something went wrong along the way.
Young children naturally enjoy numbers. And even people who now have an intense dislike for math often say they once enjoyed it.
What has happened to them is generally an unfortunate event in their past.
Perhaps they were ridiculed for a mistake they made with numbers, in front of the entire class.
Maybe they missed some crucial math lessons and never really caught up.
perhaps they were taught to handle numbers mechanically - when what they really needed was some explanation of why the numbers work the way they do.
Whatever the specific reason, bad experiences with numbers left an emotional scar, which developed into a phobia to keep the sufferer safe from further harm.
So let us try to analyse this so called ‘MATHPHOBIA’

11. Internet blogs

12. From a strictly mathematical viewpoint: What Equals 100%?
What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?
If: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z Is represented as: If: H-A-R-D-W-O-R- K = 98% And: K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E = 96% But: A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E = 100%
L-O-V-E -O-F- G-O-D / FAITH = 101%
Therefore, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that: While Hard Work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there,
It's the Love of God /Faith that will put you over the top!

27. FATHER OF ALGEBRA Linear equations
The riddle begins, “Diophantus ” youth lasted 1/6 of his life.
He grew a beard after 1/12 more
5 years later he had a son
after 1/7 more of his life he married
ALGEBRA SOLVES A RIDDLE
Little is known about the life of Diophantus the Greek father of algebra, except his age at death, which has been preserved in the famous 1,500-year-old riddle shown here. If we assume ‘x’ as his age at the time of death then we get the equation
x = x/6 + x/12 + x/ x/2 + 4, which reduces to 3x/28 = 9 telling us Diophantus was 84 years old when he died.
The son lived exactly ½ as long as his father. And Diophantus died just 4 years after his son.
All this adds up to the years Diophantus lived

In each of the square if you put a quarter circle then it represents the pattern which we see in some seashell B
The ratio AG:AB represent the golden ratio and is donated by
This rectangle is the most harmonious & pleasing to the eye hence we have sheets of paper, book of pages, standard photo frame, monitor, credit cards, windows and so on in the shape of rectangle.

33. RELATION & FUNCTION

34. (using a shrinking ruler to measure the unmeasurable)
A fundamental concept of calculus is ‘convergence of limit’. The idea that an unknown value can be measured by ”closing in “through approximations that are made finer & finer until they are refined, in effect to a precise value.1) the tracks converging on the horizon appear to join at a particular point, though they actually never meet.2)Images of a boy holding a mirror photographed in another mirror, although actually never shrink, but they appear to be converging on such a small area that it is considered to be a point.3)The lines AE,AD,AC &AB show average growth rates for successively smaller periods of time. But for the instant A ,the growth rate is shown by the tangent at A.

37. The great Galileo & Isac newton : Gravitational force g=32ft/sec
A parachuter in free fall drops faster every monent.Calculus finds his rate at any instant by in effect, measuring shorter & shorter time segments.In the first bracketed period he falls at an average speed of 88ft/sec for half a sec.In the next equal period 104 feet.In two shorter periods he drops 94.4 ft per sec & 97.6 ft.The ever narrowing range finally converge to 96 ft/sec at exactly 3 sec.
Timing an object as it falls from a given height is the most straight forward method of gauging the efects of gravity.It was this technique which Galileo used about 1585 to arrive at his free fall eqn.y=16t2 ;y representing the distance fallen in ft. and t the elapsed time I sec. after the first fall.
Newton further proved that it is law of nature that every free falling object falls to earth with a constant acceleration of 32ft /sec every sec.

1729? As I told you earlier at schol Ramanujan was a studnt star in Maths.He went beyond what was tought in class.Fascination for the beauties in maths overpowered him.1729 is the famous taxi no.which is often mentioned in narrating his love for nos.While in the U.K. Prof. Hardy visited him in the hospital as Ramanujan was lying ill.Hardy mentioned the no.of the taxi in which he came.At once Ramanujan gave out the property of 1729 as the smallest no.that can be expressed as a sum of two cubes in two different ways.This theory later helped immensly in solving indeterminate eqns.
