Every year on December 22nd, India celebrates National Mathematics Day. This day has become an opportunity for schools across the country to spark curiosity, reduce fear, and make math an enjoyable subject for students.

To help boys succeed in school they need to feel connected.

I'm an author of math books, which may sound like a dry job, but that’s exactly why I do it. It’s my goal to show kids that math can be fun (and funny!)

Disciplinary problems were high, student achievement was low, and so was my patience. I knew I couldn’t do this again the following year, so I decided to change my approach.

It's nice to think of the Internet as a wonderful invention that has made our lives both richer and more efficient. It's a nice notion and it's an accurate one—the Internet has changed our lives for the better. We can now communicate with people from all four corners of the globe. We can share, swap, and gain as much knowledge as we could ever want or need. There are no negatives associated with instant knowledge—or are there?

Students want to read stories that matter to them and, most of all, they want to see themselves reflected within the pages of their beloved comics.

While Bradbury’s novel was originally written over seventy years ago, its themes are more pertinent than ever—especially in the classroom.
