First time blogging!!!

This morning when I told my students I am going to start a blog Let's learn Maths. They laughed their head off. They could not believe their ICT unsavvy maths teacher is doing something so "cool"!.

So...here I am starting my very first blog to show them that I can teach maths through blogging.

As this is my first post, I have decided to be short and precise. All I have to say is......my maths blog will definitely be a fun blog!

Just stick around to find out what I have in store for you!!!
