Recently I had to do an assignment on why math is important and why we teach it to students. At first I didn’t put any thought into it other than we use math to count. But really we use math in almost everything we do. Every aspect of our day to day life contains us doing some type of math whether we know it or not.
In the kitchen baking and cooking requires some mathematical skill as well. Every ingredient has to be measured and sometimes you need to multiply or divide to get the exact amount you need.
Every outing you plan needs your math skill. You will plan your way there and you will use your time wisely, math is your guide that will assist you and help you. When driving you need fuel, oil and water, without it your car will break down. All of these require math.

I recently had to do an assignment such as that one too. I came to the same conclusion that math helps us function on a daily basis..Sometimes we fail to see how much Math we use every day.
ReplyDeleteFiguring out how much time you need to get ready in the morning (or, for kids, how much time is left on a video game) is all math, too.
ReplyDeleteMath is all around us. This will be one of my favorite subjects to teach. For some reason math has always come easier to me than other subjects.
