Using Numbers

2009-11-16

Familiarize your students with the many ways we use numbers.

• Quantity: There are usually 8 slices in a pizza.
• Distance: Yesterday our boy scout troop hiked 15 miles.
• Height: The ceiling in my living room is 9 feet high.
• Weight: I am now able to lift 120 pounds.
• Cost: I had to pay $1.50 for this can of soda.
• Position: I was pleased that I finished first in the competition.

The more ways in which your students learn how numbers are used in our lives, the more comfortable they will become with math.
