How math relates to my everyday life and future career By: Megan Rampersad

Next Spring I will be graduating with my Liberal Arts degree and moving onto a Bachelors degree program to become an educator for grades K-12. Being an educator requires a lot of mathematical critical thinking. Grade school teachers as well as college professors use math when they calculate grades, budget cost supplies,estimate time to complete tasks, and especially when they teach it! I use math in my everyday life when I am at work. I work as a science teacher for an after school program Samuel Field Y. I do a lot of experiments with my students and it requires math in almost every lesson. We use it by making measurements and dividing into equal groups according to amount of supplies. Math is a major factor for my future career as well as my everyday life.
