Free mathematics e-book for high school students.

Who can tolerate the banal syllabus of high school mathematics? Even Einstein would have admired our present day school students for their endurance power.

I have always wished to find something interesting and new to teach my math students. That should be something that is not included in their curriculum but still, the subject should stimulate their overall math solving ability.

Today, I came across an e-book that has several interesting topics not covered in the standard high school curriculum of most countries. It is for 14 to 18 year olds who are interested in mathematics in general.

It is free and is available at http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikibooks/en/a/ae/High_School_Mathematics.pdf

How to excel in algebra?

In my 12 years of experience, I have never seen such fantastic batch of students as the present batch. They seem to produce excellent work that is evident from the marks they have obtained so far in all the tests that I have conducted.

They especially have shown great improvement in algebra. Even students that I expected to be dull have surprised me with their brilliant performance.

Unable to hide her pride, one girl confided in me the reason for her better marks. She has purchased a CD named “Algebrator” that seems to teach Algebra better than me!

This girl student then recommended the algebrator to her friends and the entire lot has purchased as they are impressed with the marks of the girl who was actually marked as dull student by me.

I have visited the site algebra-cheat.com and was quite impressed with what they offer. It is a big boon really for math students.
