It’s always good to have a little knowledge of mathematics on hand. It can come in handy for solving problems that arise in your everyday life, and it just might impress your friends enough for them to want to study math too!  

1) If you’re cooking, measure the ingredients with cups or spoons. You’ll be able to tell if something is too salty or not spicy enough by using ratios from arithmetic. This way, you’ll make sure you get the exact flavours that you want in your food.

 2) If you need help finding a solution because both sides of an equation look-alike it, remember that “anything times anything equals anything.” This means that if one side has a plus sign and the other doesn’t, the answer will also have a plus sign. 

3) Help your kids with their homework! Parents can check if their children are adding the right numbers when they come up with a sum. Or, parents might want to get involved in the problem-solving process themselves by writing out an equation. Helping your child get started on doing math at home is very important. 

4) Check expiration dates on medicine to ensure that you’re taking it while it’s still effective. You’ll need to use division skills for this one. Just multiply the number of days left by the dosage per day and make sure it works out correctly according to the instructions on the bottle or box. 

5) Forgot how many hours are in a half-day? Good thing you took that math class years ago. You can figure it out by multiplying the number of hours in a day by the fractional number of days you’re looking for. 

6) Help your kids practice their time’s tables! Helping your children learn and memorize times tables is one of the most important things you can do to help them with mathematics and school success. 

7) Scientists, engineers, and doctors all use math every day; we wouldn’t have cars or medicines without them! If these professionals need to provide an estimate on something they might not be able to count exactly like when looking at stars or living cells under a microscope, they’ll still want to use as much math as possible even if those aren’t perfectly accurate.  

8) Help your kids practice their fractions with baking! Learning about fractions is an extremely important mathematical concept that most students struggle with. Help them learn by cooking or baking together! 

9) Help your kids find the right path to take when trying to decide what direction they’d like to go in their lives. Ask them how many different ways they can think of using their chosen subject once they graduate college? Helping children narrow down a life path is an essential part of being a parent/advisor. 

10) Help protect yourself from getting ripped off when shopping for higher-price items at the store! If something costs over $100, you probably want to check out several stores before buying what you are looking for. This is a good way to make sure you’re getting the best deal possible before buying something. 

Mathematics is an important part of our everyday life. It’s difficult to imagine a day without math calculations for things like driving, cooking, and doing the laundry. However, some people may not realize that they use mathematical knowledge all the time in their daily lives even if it’s just basic arithmetic. As you can see from this list we compiled of top 10 ways you can put your mathematics skills into practice every day, there are many different avenues where we could apply these principles so let us know what other examples you have! We would love to hear them and share them with everyone else who reads this blog post as well! What do you think? Do you agree or disagree with any of these ideas?
