Math is always used outside of school. One reason how I use math is whenever I need to count my money when shopping. When I shop I need to find out how much tax is and how much money I have. I also would have to figure out if I have enough money to purchase the items I want. Another way I use math is when I am cooking. To cook you need to find out if you can cut a certain amount of a ingredient. How to do this is why using your math skills to chop your recipe in half or double it! Finally, the last reason why I use math in real life is with telling time. To tell time I need to see how much time I need for studying, homework, etc.. So math plays a big part in that. At the end of the day I use math everyday to solve my daily problems and needs.
