Math in Real Life (Homework Sept. 30th)

Talk with your family about how you and your family needed math today.  You didn’t just do math this morning on your activity list.  Maybe you needed math at lunch.  Maybe your mom needed math when she wrote a check.  Maybe you needed math to share cookies with your brother!

Give one or two examples of math in everyday life.  Do NOT write things like, “I needed it for my math homework.”

I know some of you will come up with really interesting ideas!  If you think of more later, go ahead and add them!
