Have you ever wondered what the point of math was? Why you had to spend so much time memorizing and studying?

Susan Gaidos wrote the article "Math and our Number Sense" about math in our world and how much we use it and learn it every day!

The first paragraph in her article says "Not all math skills are learned in the classroom. Some of them come naturally. Consider the split-second calculations you make when you estimate the number of empty seats on the school bus or gauge the number of cookies in a cookie jar."

I see math around me all the time! Do you? Check out her article, by clicking on the following link, and sound off here!
