Magic of Numbers

Numbers aren’t just for counting—they hold secrets!

1. Zero: Invented in India, it made modern mathematics possible. Without zero, computers wouldn’t exist!

2. Infinity: A number that never ends. Imagine counting forever—you’ll never stop.

3. Prime Numbers: Numbers like 2, 3, 5, 7… divisible only by 1 and themselves. They’re the “building blocks” of math.

Did you know? The largest known prime has millions of digits—too big to write in this magazine! 

Math in Nature

Math is everywhere around us!

1. Symmetry: A butterfly’s wings are mirror images.

2. Spirals: Shells and sunflowers follow the Fibonacci sequence (1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8…).

1. Shapes: Honeybees build hexagons because they fit perfectly together and save wax.

Did you know? The petals of many flowers follow mathematical patterns. A daisy often has 34 or 55 petals! 

Quick Tricks

Math can be fast and fun with shortcuts!

1. Multiplying by 9: Use your fingers! For 9 × 7, fold the 7th finger. You’ll see 6 fingers before it and 3 after → 63.
2. Squaring numbers ending in 5: Example:
3. 352. Multiply 3 × (3+1) = 12, then add 25 → 1225.
4. Divisibility check
5. : A number is divisible by 3 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 3.
6. Did you know? Ancient traders used tricks like these to calculate quickly without paper. 

 Math in Sports

Sports are full of numbers and angles!

1. Cricket: The angle of the bat decides where the ball flies.

2. Football: Players use geometry to pass the ball in triangles.

3. Basketball: Probability helps predict free‑throw success.

Did you know? A cricket pitch is exactly 22 yards long—mathematicians love that neat number! 

 History of Zero :

Zero is small but mighty!

1. Invented in India, it gave birth to modern mathematics.

2. Without zero, we couldn’t write numbers like 100 or 1000.

3. Computers use millions of zeros and ones to work.

Did you know? The word “zero” comes from the Sanskrit word śūnya, meaning “empty.” 

 Math & Art

Artists and mathematicians share a love for patterns!

1. Symmetry: Folding paper to make identical designs.
2. Tessellations: Repeating shapes like tiles on a floor.
3. Golden Ratio: A special proportion found in famous paintings and even the Taj Mahal.

Did you know? Leonardo da Vinci used math to plan his artworks. 

Math in Astronomy

The universe is full of numbers!

1. Distances: Light travels 300,000 km every second. That’s how we measure stars.

2. Orbits: Planets follow elliptical paths—geometry at work in space.

3. Eclipses: Predicting solar and lunar eclipses is pure mathematics.

Did you know? The Earth is about 150 million km from the Sun—a “perfect distance” for life. 

Probability in Life

Chance plays a role in everyday decisions!

1. Coins: Tossing a coin gives a 50% chance of heads.

2. Weather: Forecasts use probability to predict rain.

3. Games: Rolling a dice—each number has a 1 in 6 chance.

Did you know? Insurance companies use probability to plan policies. 

Mathematics & Money

Money management is all about math!

1. Addition & Subtraction: Counting savings and spending.

2. Interest: Banks pay extra money when you save.

3. Budgeting: Planning monthly expenses is a math skill.

Did you know? If you save ₹100 every month, in a year you’ll have ₹1200!
