Math - Understanding Measurement, Time And Money
Of all the types of mathematics, this section is the most useful to everyday life, as well as addition, subtraction, division and multiplication.
We need to know measurements to figure out how tall or short, heavy or light, distances, or for ingredients. Measurements are a part of daily life.
Time includes not only the clock, but calendar time as well. Time is important as it helps you get to places at the right time, helps you set appointments and keep them, lets you make plans for your life, gives you warning when bills are due.
Money helps you pay the bills, know how to save it, know how to balance money owed, money due, and change.
