1. Telling Time
There are a lot of math concepts you need to understand in order to know how to tell time. You need to know that there are 24 hours in a day, that we split those days into two equal-sized 12-hour halves, that each hour is 60 minutes, and that each minute is 60 seconds. We have to have a general understanding of how long a “second” is. And we have to understand fractions. Yes, fractions. It’s built into our language. When you tell someone it’s “a quarter-to four,” you’re telling them that a quarter of an hour remains until it becomes four o’clock. In order to understand what that means, you also have to know that “a quarter,” or “one fourth,” is the same as “15 minutes.” 15 is one-fourth of 60, which is the number of minutes in an hour. So a “quarter-to” or “quarter-past” an hour is an extremely mathematical sentence that is so commonplace, many people don’t even know they’re doing math when they say it.
2. Working Any Job
How much do you make an hour? That’s a rhetorical question, obviously. But… is it a good amount? A bad amount? How do you even know? How many hours do you need to work in a week in order to make enough money to pay your bills? It’s fairly basic math, but you need to know how to work with multiplication, variables, and time in order to know how much money you’re making. If you just work and work and hope that you have enough money in your paycheck to cover your life… things aren’t going to be easy. Especially once you’re working on a budget, it becomes necessary to know how much money you need to make in a day, or in a week, or in an hour to support your lifestyle.
3. Shopping
How much is this shirt or blouse going to cost once the 40% sale is applied? What about once the 8% tax is added? What if it’s advertised as “half-off,” or “20% off the sale price”? Are you going to gather your things, head up to the cashier, and hope for the best? Or would you rather know ahead of time whether you’re able to afford the clothes you’d like without breaking the bank? That takes math knowledge, and at least a basic understanding of how percentages work.
4. Cooking
The recipe calls for “2 tablespoons” of sugar. You only have a teaspoon, or a soup spoon. The recipe calls for “3/4 cup,” but you only have a quarter cup measuring tool and a half cup measuring tool. How much adds up to “3/4”? You may know the answer. But that’s because you understand math, fractions, and conversions. Changing teaspoons to tablespoons is one thing, changing pounds to kilograms is another. You’ll rarely need the larger conversions in cooking… unless you’re planning on taking a trip to another country. There, you’ll either need to adjust by buying new cooking tools, or you’ll bring your own and hope you know how to convert ounces to grams.
6. Driving
Operating a car or motorcycle is ultimately nothing but a series of calculations. How many miles to the destination? How much gas in the car? How many miles per hour am I able to drive? How many miles per gallon does my car get? Oh no, I’ve hit a traffic jam, and now my pace has slowed, am I still going to make it to work on time? All of these questions are extremely easily answered with basic math skills. Otherwise, you’re sitting there hoping that things magically work out. But it’s possible to account for it on your own. This of course also brings into consideration “time management,” which we’ve already talked about in #1 above.
