Great connections to math in the real world!

How I Use It

I haven't used this site but plan to in the fall. My students are always telling me that they don't understand why they have to do the math we are learning because it doesn't apply to them. This site connects those skills with jobs that actually use them. I love it! I plan on creating this unit by assigning each group a lesson...for example one with look at math in fashion, another will explore math in video games and so on. Then they can create a presentation and show the rest of the class their findings. I really think this will help the students to see how important math is to our everyday lives.
