Math Is...

To me, math is something that you use everyday. For example, suppose you want to buy a shirt at Target that costs $40.00 and is 10% off. To find the price of the shirt you need to use percent decrease. Another way that we all use math everyday is in cooking. One way we use math in cooking is when we add fractions together to get the right amount of a certain ingredient. There are so many other examples of how we can use math everyday. Too many to write. Math is clearly an important part of our lives and it would be hard to live without it.
