Here's a fun book I was given in high school for winning a school-wide math contest by my math teacher.

This book (How to Cut a Cake: And other mathematical conundrums) has this covered. It also covers how to split something with more than two people. A must for anyone planning a party where a cake will be shared.

I just started high school, and only recently discovered the beauty in math. I'm half-studying for the AMC 12 test tomorrow and half being distracted by reddit, but I want to say that it is never too late to discover how truly amazing math is. I understand this may sound annoying or stupid coming from someone who is exactly a third of your age, but I picked up a book called How To Cut A Cake by Ian Stewart this summer. Before this, I was just an ordinary kid who I guess liked math puzzles, and thought it was pretty fun when a teacher gives a cool problem, but I never really knew that I actually really liked math. Now I'm not telling you to read this, but this book really reminded me that math isn't something you just do in school, but rather a universal language spoken by everyone in this world, and used almost every moment of your life. This book helped me want to find opportunities to find math in stuff normal people won't. This was sort of my moment of realization. I don't know if this book will help you achieve that realization, but I believe it is definitely a good read for anyone. TL;DR rather than taking an old-school "sit down, study, and read" type of approach, I feel that it is a much better and more efficient learning experience to realize that math really is fun, and try to find opportunities to do math where normal people would simply ignore. This isn't something I can explain in words off the bat, but you will definitely, 100% know what I mean when you realize that you're actually doing math in the most unexpected situation.
