Dreamm Mathematics
Why is math important? I believe math is fairly important when it comes to everyday life. Without math we would probably be far less technologically advanced. Much of the items we use today involve math. The programs that allow you to use a computer are made by math. |
Pros:
-
used frequently
-
technological advancement
-
time consuming
Mental Math:
I consider this skill highly valuable. If you have the ability to do mental math and are accurate aswell, then keep practicing. If you don't keep up with mental math you will lose this great ability. If you are able to do mental math it will save you time, it might just save a tree, and save other natural resrouces for a different project. I do think there is one major problem in doing mental math though. This problem is if you are wrong, it requires much time to figure out where you went wrong depending on the math your doing. If you solved it out and had your work written down, it would be much easier for most people to find their mistakes. They would not have to back track where they messed up inside their heads.
Basic Math:
Basic math is pretty hard not to use in everyday life. We need basic math for accomplishing tasks such as buying items from a store. Without basic math you wouldn't be able to tell if you had enough money to buy the items you wish to have.
Algebra:
We need algebra because algebra is the fundamentals of solving equations. Equations that have variables. Variables play a role in our everyday life. They are used to find an unkown value.
Geometry:
Geometry is a highly used skill. We use some form of geometry every day in our minds. To me, Geometry is the use of shapes and the propeties of that shape. Such as a square, has four right angles.
