MECHANICS FOR THE MATH PUZZLES AND RIDDLES
Math is not everyone’s favorite, understandably. Hours of math homework and difficult equations can
make anyone sour on the subject. But when math problems are outside of a school setting, there’s no
time limit to do them, and they’ve got a fun, more whimsical concept than just finding x.
Mathematical puzzles or Math riddles aid a learner’s development in such a way that they are prepared
not only for school exams, but also for life. These can assist the child in maintaining their level of
interaction and developing their interest in mathematics.
