This book offers high school teachers and students a broad and engaging look at an often-maligned subject -- mathematics. Expanding beyond strictly defined curriculums, Fun Math: Problem Solving Beyond the Classroom explores additional topics that can inspire and motivate students to better appreciate the importance and beauty of mathematics.The first part of the book presents novel examples in four integral areas of the mathematics curriculum, namely arithmetic, logic, algebra, and geometry. The last two sections of the book expose the reader to topics in algebra and geometry that have been neglected at the secondary school level. Throughout the book, the focus is on introducing problem-solving techniques that will be useful beyond mathematics in everyday life. The aim of this book is to enhance the reader's appreciation for the subject by presenting useful and fascinating topics that are rarely addressed in the classroom, and that these can foster a new love for mathematics among students and general readers. In other words, you can have fun with mathematics!
