Make learning Math more fun with these magical Math Printables for Kids! Whether it’s addition, skip counting or place values, we got you!

Sometimes we ask ourselves why we learned certain things in school. Like, what good are integrals and differentials in our daily life? Why did we have to study those tough mathematical concepts?

Well, if it wasn’t for Math, we probably wouldn’t have the screens you’re reading this on! Or computers, or any of the modern technology we enjoy today. And that’s exactly why we have a day to remind us of the importance of Math in technology – Math 2.0 Day!

Math 2.0 Day falls on 8th July and was created by the Math Interest Group in 2009 to promote the use of Math online and to celebrate the union of Math and technology. Here’s a quick look at many major discoveries that are based on math.

Important Discoveries that Used Math

• The Pythagorean Theorem is an important mathematical concept that helps us study planets
• Johannes Kepler used math to calculate the movement of comets and planetary orbits
• Isaac Newton used mathematical calculations to prove the theory of gravitational attraction
• James Clerk Maxwell used 4 equations to create the Dynamical Theory of the Electromagnetic Field
• Edward Norton Lorenz created a mathematical formula that helped forecast the weather
• Ada Lovelace was a mathematics whiz and used her talent to become the world’s first programmer

Now that we know how crucial Math is in our daily life, let’s have some fun with it, by downloading these magical Math printables for kids!
