We can use this to develop visualization, logical reasoning and algorithmic sense in students by performing various operations with the Turtle. This can help in the building of computational thinking and you can also introduce some geometry through this.

{{Color-box|11|Interesting news|If mathematics is a language, then how does it seem to describe all the observed things in the universe from helical DNA structures to black holes.  Mathematicians and scientists have talked about the unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics.  So is mathematics inherent in the universe or is it part of the way the human brain is wired?  This question is being studied and some recent research can be accessed [http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/07/130715070138.htm here].

Your Phone number will reveal your actual Age. It will take about 15 seconds,read and do it at the same time so that you will not lose the fun.
 +
#Take a look at your last digit of your cell phone number
 +
#Use this figure and multiply by 2
 +
#Then add 5
 +
#And then multiply by 50
 +
#And then add the number 1765
 +
#The last step; with this number, subtract your birth year.
