"Why do we have to learn this stuff?" This is a question I hear every day from my beloved students. As a teacher, we often struggle to make real-world connections to our subject. "Math is the universal language." I tell them. "Whether you know it or not, it  makes the world go 'round." In this blog, I will strive to provide real-world examples of how math is used to shape and enhance our everyday lives.

    I LOVE the blog you have created! I also teach math and so many of my students have asked me that same question. I try to use real life examples to help my students see the connection. I teach a lower math class and I think they would enjoy this we are working on story problems now so after spring break we may take a look at your page.
