Mathematics in Everyday Life

With this project we will hopefully help our students realise that Mathematics is not just a subject on their time-table but a tool they use in their everyday life!

Percentages
Math is everywhere and yet, we may not recognize it because it doesn't look like the math we did in school. Math in the world around us sometimes seems invisible. But math is present in our world all the time--in the workplace, in our homes, and in life in general. When you buy a car, follow a recipe, or decorate your home, you're using math principles.
Percentages are used in our everyday life and
we may not even realize it !!
This presentation was prepared by the Class of Form 3A and by the Class 1Ga.
