Math in Real Life

Math is everywhere and yet we may not recognize it because it doesn't look like the math we do in the classroom. Math in the world around us sometimes seems invisible, but it is present in our world all the time – in the workplace, in our homes, and in our personal lives. You are using math every time you pay a bill, book a flight, look at the temperature for the day, go grocery shopping, bake something, buy something on sale, calculate your wages, or a tip. In this course, we cover the following skills to better help you in everyday real life situations: addition and subtraction, multiplication and division, order of operations, rounding off, estimation, following formulas, graphing, interest, fractions, decimals, percentages, metric measurement, metric conversions, exponents, and problem solving.
