Multiplication by drawing and mathsisfun.com listed on yahoo!

This is a nifty trick that involves multiplication by drawing:

Below the add for the video there is a link to a list of math websites and mathsisfun is listed!  The link is on yahoo's homepage right now. Hopefully this will boost the sites popularity.

http://kids.yahoo.com/directory/School-Bell/Math

What does annoy me, though, the site is advertised as a math site for kids. There is plenty to be had here for children, but also for A level math students! I wonder if there's a way the mainpage could be made to look less kiddy, but still appealing to children as well. Hmmm...

A logarithm is just a misspelled algorithm.

Hmmm... interesting how they keep finding new ways to do these things. It would be too time-consuming to use in my studies, but it is pretty cool nevertheless.

Cool trick. But 897 × 798 could be hard.

I have been thinking of a mild re-design of the front page. I just don't have any ideas yet.

And I told Yahoo that it should be listed in the main math sites over a year ago ... but no response. I think they get millions of requests for inclusion and just ignore them.

If you want some input from the users, you could make post in the suggestions forum. I guess you must have some things you "want it (not) to be", and if you wrote that down, people could make suggestions, post examples, etc.
