Math has to be one of the most disliked subjects in school. This probably because there are so many rules and different ways of solving certain problems. Now, problems are normally representations of values written in confusing ways. For example, 1 x 18 is 18. However, 6+4+2+6 is also 18. And when you start adding hidden values represented by letters, well let’s just say that’s where many of our brains pull the cord to stop the bus.
However, solving math problems is a very good exercise for our brains, making our spongy muscles work hard makes our minds sharper and improves our overall quality of life in the process.
