From the Fall Blog Challenge by Melanie Holtsman, this week’s topic is about Mathematics.
Challenge: When you're not at school are you still a mathematician? How do you use math to solve problems in your daily life? How did you use it today?
I did find a wonderful site called WolframAlpha that is a lot of fun to explore because the whole site involves mathematics. There are so many examples there that show you how it can be used.
How do you use math today? Please share.

Thank you for posting the picture of the calculator. I had one of those! And, it is fun to be reminded of it. :)
Living in New York leads to my eating out a lot with colleagues after we knock off for the day. Splitting a check and adding tip appropriately so everyone pays a fair amount takes some solid basic math skills.
I had one of those calculators too! In my post, I wrote about my evenings with math helping my daughter with homework...but I also am spending a lot of time adding and subtracting as I watch my carbs and calories :)
