A popular question amongst school aged kids is, "Why do I need to know this?" Many things we learn in school are considered to be standard skills that we will need in our lives. Mathematics is one of those skills that everyone needs to know. Although this subject is complex, having a good foundation and basic understanding of it is essential. The subject of business is also important to understand. You'll find that when you grow up, not only will math be part of your everyday life, but so will money. Essentially, business is money and money management. You can't have one without the other and you can't have either without math.
Math is everywhere. We use it for counting, calculating, building, measuring, quantifying, theorizing and so much more. Without math there would be no structures, no roads, no medicines, no flying into outer space, no traveling across the country to see your family, no delicious meals or baked goods, and no shopping.
Our world today has made it nearly impossible to live without money and business. Therefore, it's in our best interest to learn as much as we can about these things. The best way to learn something is through practice and repetition. Throw in a little fun, and you have the best recipe for success.
