Think about what mathematics and problem-solving you do in your daily life? At work? At home?

When was the last time you used math? Balancing your checkbook? Creating a budget? Measuring for new furniture?

When was the last time you had to solve a problem. List 5 steps you took to come up with a solution? Did any of those steps involve numbers? If not, could numbers have helped with the problem-solving?

Share your problem-solving steps with your child.
