Introduction
how many times as a student have you been sitting in math class and thought to yourself, 'when am I ever going to use this?' the teacher is spitting out facts and formula at you and you cannot see how any of it will apply to you later in life. you may say that your future career has nothing to do with math because you want to be a police officer, chef. professional athletes, etc.
in actuality no matter what your future career or life situation is you will have to use mathematics in your life.
Task

Either individually or in groups of two you need to gather information about real-life situations in which math is used in some fashion.
