Why is Math important in our lives? My daughter ask me this question because she's not very good in math.

I used to ask the same thing..oddly enough I felt as if though we only need math for like scientific jobs or accounting. Then I grew up and realized that math is every where. We need those skills to cook, budgeting and much more. Now i will tell you that I am diffently not the sharpest tool in the shed when it comes to math. I had to take special ed courses to help me with math, history and science. It seemed to me that englidh was the only thing that I was really good at. But math is something that Im still struggling with. You can ask your daughter what she thinks math is for? What are some of the reasons why we need math? And see what she says, then sit her down and explain to her that math is very important and that we use it all the time. If she is having some hard time in math then sit with her and help her with her homework or enroll her into the sylvan learning center or a tutor to help her out in her weakest area which would be math.
