I teach math. My favorite questions are: "What's this good for?" and "When will I ever use this?" My mind says, "When will I not use this?" Math is not only numbers; it is logic and sequencing.

Example: If I stop buying pop and snacks from the machines each day and put that $2 in the bank each day (250 working days of the year), how much money will I have in the bank after 1 year? $500 + interest. After 10 years? $5,000 + interest. What other possible benefits might I receive? I might be healthier and use less sick days at work, resulting in more pay, more vacation time, more promotions, etc. I might gain less weight and feel good about myself and spend less money on new clothes.

The logic presented in math helps with the logic we should use in time management, in decisions in life, etc. Math is everywhere.
Thank you,
