Hey. "Its a Monday, I got nothing going on. I'm chalk free. I'm scotch... tape, I'm so clear of anything" (Olan Rogers) ... Just had to throw that out there. Now I don't know about any of you, but I have a secret math life. Heh JK lolz. No, but seriously, have you ever thought about how often you use math outside of math class?
Let's start with a normal day...
Ok so you just woke up, it's 5:55am. You have to shower, get ready for school, eat breakfast, feed the dogs, drive to school, finish last minute homework and be in class ready to go by 8. Let's break it down farther... How did you come up with this wake up time? I'll tell you... MATH!! Ok so it take about 5min to get out of bed and for the shower to warm up. Then you shower for about 15min, 5 min to dry off and get back to your room. Ok now it's 6:20. Let's keep going 10min to pick out your clothes, get dressed, and pack your backpack. Down stairs by 6:30. 10min to feed the dogs, 5min breakfast prep, 10 min to eat, 5min to brush your teeth and get out to the car. It's 7:00. 30min to drive across town, 5 min to get inside and put your stuff in your locker. It's 7:35... you have 20min to chill before you have to go to class.
Well now you might say "wait, what that not math, math is hard" well believe it or not that was math. You have to solve a word problem. Example: Sally needs to be at school by 7:30. If it takes Sally 25min to shower, 40min to get ready, and 30min to drive to school, how early does Sally need to get up? Answer: 5:55 am.
