The way the great philosophers discovered time was through math.
Chefs, bakers and home cooks use math to prepare food.
Architects use math to do construction and designs.
The Man (Eratosthenes) who measure the earth used math ( interesting fact:
2000 years later with modern technology they
figured out that Eratosthenes was only 16% off,
This is pretty good if you think about it he
was the first one to measure the earth., check out my post about him. http://love-4-science.blogspot.de/2013/05/the-man-who-measured-earth.html)And yes even the genius who created the ipad used math!
Okay so hopefully your getting the big picture. Now that your horizons have been widened, in what ways do you think you use math EVERYDAY? How much has math helped you in your life? You would be suprised to see how much you really do use math everyday! So yes give yourself a pat on the back, you really are using those simple yet complex skills!
