Practical Application Math/Math at Work/Life Skills/Distance Traveled/Elapsed Time/Measurement

The practical application of math helps students understand the importance of mastering basic math skills. Math can be found in all parts of our lives, including at work. Students will discover how Delivery Truck Drivers, Chefs, and Carpenters use math skills as part of their jobs.

 This book focuses on skills that often don’t get much attention in the classroom. 

• Understanding “Elapsed Time” can be a challenge for students growing up in 

 a digital world. 

• Calculating “Distance Traveled” generally isn’t practiced enough for students

 to be adept at figuring how many miles have been traveled between point A to 

 point B. 

• Different forms of “Measurement” can be confusing. How many ounces ARE 

 there in a gallon or a pound? How do you figure square feet?

 Including these skills in everyday work situations, helps students see their 

 connection to the real world.
