Students, sometimes it’s interesting to learn the origin of things. Did you know “Algebra” comes from the Arabic words “Al Jabr”? That’s right, it was developed in the Middle East. And how did Chess get started? A Persian general wanted a method to teach his soldiers basic strategy, so he invented the game of Chess. The Rubik’s Cube was originally developed as a learning tool for architecture students. Delving into the origin of everyday things that we take for granted can be fascinating.
