Back in September, I thought math was the simple computation of numbers and variables to find an answer. That bit, of course has not changed; we still have endless equations and expressions, and we still have to find an answer. However, math has become more than simply just finding a value of a variable, an interest rate- more than just an answer. It's become a way of life, a way to find solutions to daily problems without having to always refer back to a calculator, or an elder. These daily problems, we realized this year incorporate many of the math skills we have learned and reviewed this past year. Math is also shaping our modern world in every aspect thought possible-aviation, space travel, technology, medical science, etc. For sure, this year's math curriculum has definitely been one of the most productive years, teaching me skills I will use for years to come, and skills that will affect not only my life, but of our future generation.
