Math is fun!
How do we know this term where in the two sides are separated by an equal!

The most basic and common algebraic equations in math consist of one or more variables. As you solve these problems just keep one thing in mind: the left-hand side has to be equal to the right-hand side.

That’s not true!
Not everything you read on the Internet is true. Learn how to spot the fake from the real.
Here’s how you can identify fake news
Identify the source: Is the news from a website you are familiar with or trust? The URL of fake news sites may end with .com.co, .lo or .infonet instead of .com or .in
Be critical: Fake news spreads easily because of its shock value or seems genuine. So before you share any news or information, stop and ask yourself: who wrote the article? Are they trying to convince me of a certain idea? Is it trying to get me to click?
Other reports: Are other news sites also sharing this news? Search the Internet for more articles on the same topic. If you cannot find it, it’s probably fake.
Examine the sources: A genuine news article will include quotes from experts, cite research articles, mention real data and statistics. If these are missing, you definitely need to doubt it.
Photos can lie: With modern editing software that are also available for free, a photo used in a story could be edited or even be from another place or date.
Listen to yourself: If a news item doesn’t sound right or is too good to be true, maybe it isn’t. Trust your instinct.
Fake news is a global problem. It can range from harmless misrepresented news articles to those fabricated to cause harm, incite violence or promote prejudice against a section of people. Now take a look at these news snippets that are not true.
Eat your ABCs
A, B, C, D, E and K — do you know what each vitamin does? Find out with this interactive task.
Vitamins are substances found in the food we eat. They are essential for our bodies to function properly. Different foods contain different vitamins, so it is important that you eat a variety of food so that your body can get enough of everything.
Every vitamin has a separate role to play. For instance, Vitamin A is important for eyesight. B Vitamins help you get energy from the food you eat. Vitamin C helps repair your body tissues. Vitamin D helps maintain healthy bones and teeth. Vitamin E protects your cells from damage. Vitamin K helps your blood clot.
Here is a fun exercise for you. Drag and drop the boxes to match the food item with the vitamin correctly.

Don’t be a bully!
When an online interaction starts becoming uncomfortable, stop and think! Are you a victim of cyberbullying? Or are you the bully?
According to UNICEF, cyberbullying is bullying with the use of digital technologies. It can take place on social media, messaging, and gaming platforms and mobile phones. It involves repeated behaviour, aimed at scaring, angering or shaming those who are targeted.
Types of cyberbullying
Harassment: Sending offensive, rude, and insulting messages/photos deliberately to mentally abuse, humiliate and threaten the victim.
Denigration: Sharing information/photos about another person that is untrue and embarrassing, for the purpose of spreading rumours and gossip.
Flaming: Deliberately using extreme and offensive language with the knowledge that it is causing distress to the victim. Similarly, getting into online arguments and fights to provoke the victim.
Impersonation: Using a person’s online identity without his/her knowledge to get him/her into trouble by posting untrue/embarrassing information.
Trickery: Tricking people into revealing their secrets and private information, and outing them by sharing it with others without their consent.
Cyber Stalking: Closely monitoring the victim’s online activities and bombarding them with messages of threats and intimidation across platforms and time. The harasser keeps track of the victim online and sometimes, offline too (using information available to them), thus making the victim fear for their safety.
Exclusion: The victim is intentionally left out of digital groups and interactions like group messages, social media communities, gaming sites, and other forms of online engagement.
