  1. One way math is used outside of school is when you need to find out how much carpet you need for a room. Math is being used by createing a formula to calculate the area. It is important to use math in my example. Why... you do not want to pay to much and have some leftover or pay to little and not have enough. LFB2

  6. One way to use math outside of school is when you are making a TV stand you need to know how big to make the frame.Math is being used in this by measuring the frame.But you also need to make sure that you don't make the frame so small so it won't fit.

  9. JJ, come in during flex tomorrow and I will be more than hapy to help you out with the bottom part of that homework. Did you try asking a friend to explain it?

    lnw, you say everybody uses math for their jobs or in activities, can you tell me more specific ways that Math is found or you can see it? I would like to hear more about what you are thinking.

    BSC, I am hoping that my husband will use great Math skills when he tries to figure out how to hang our flat screen television on the wall. If he doesn't use his great Math skills then I think he will have to end up fixing the wall and pay for a new television. I am keeping my fingers crossed.

    I like how many of you equate using Math when counting money or working in a restaurant. Alot of you have the same thoughts or ideas.

  10. one way you can find math outside of school is by making foods that have a recipe like 7 pounds of sugar.
