MATHS IS HARD
MATHS IS BORING
MATHS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH
REAL LIFE
ALL MATHEMATICIANS ARE MAD!
BUT I CAN SHOW YOU THAT MATHS IS IMPORTANT IN EVERY
DAY LIFE EVEN IN CRIME DETECTION, MEDICINE !!!!!!!!!
4. 4
Mathematics is defined as the science which deals
with logic of shape, quantity and arrangement.
During ancient times , the Egyptians used maths and
complex mathematic equations like geometry and
algebra.
Math is a part of our lives, whether we clean the
house, make supper or mow the lawn.
Wherever you go, whatever you do, you are using
math daily without even realizing it. It just comes
naturally.
Maths is a universal language in that it is a language
understood in all countries
5. 5
Math is one of the most crucial subjects for students. Almost
every student studies math during their academic life.
But most of the students usually ask about the importance of
mathematics.
It offers a way that is quite helpful for the students to
understand the complex information. Even you can also find
the importance of mathematics in our daily life.
Every single moment of our life requires knowledge of math.
But most of the students are not taking math seriously in their
high schools.
The reason is they don’t find mathematics quite interesting.
Besides, teenage students find it annoying, as well as stressful.
But math is crucial for them to get high paying jobs.
Let’s get started on the importance of mathematics in our life.
6. 6
Points of Discussion
1. Math is good for the brain
2. Math helps you with your finances
3. Math makes you a better cook
4. Better problem-solving skills
5. Every career uses math
6 Great career options
7 Math for Fitness
8. Helps you understand the world
better
9. Solving Crime
10. Medicine
7. 7
A study done by Dr. Tanya Evans at Stanford
University proved that the students who solve math
problems in their daily life have higher logical
skills than those students who don’t solve the
problems.
Apart from that, the students also solve math
problems for their brain exercise. To make our
bodies stay fit, we do exercise. In the same way, to
stay our brain healthy and active, we need to do
brain exercise.
8. 8
Math is also helpful with your finance. With the help of
math, you can easily make your financial budget.
You can calculate how much money you have and how you
can spend your money.
Almost every single human in the world uses math for their
finance.
The salaried person uses math to calculate their expenses
and salaries.
On the other hand, the businessman uses math to calculate
their profit and loss.
They also use it to calculate their loans and many more.
It emerges the importance of business mathematics.
9. 9
Math is quite useful for the cook. Because in almost
every recipe, there is a need to put the ingredients.
Such as one teaspoon turmeric, a tablespoon of garlic
powder. As well as the half-cup of flour is the same
thing as eight tablespoons of flour.
Therefore to make anything delicious, the cook needs
to know the perfect measurements of the ingredients.
Apart from that, if the cook needs to cook food for
many people. Then they need to know how much
ingredients are required to cook food for those number
of people.

Finding distance and length
(Practical knowledge of Trigonometry)
Maths concepts are used to find or calculate:-
height of towers, mountains and tides in oceans
distance of the shore from a point in the sea and
between celestial bodies
structural load, roof slopes, ground surfaces and many
other aspects, including sun shading and light angles
11. Sports
(Practical knowledge of Probability, Mensuration and Statistics)
The mathematical concept can be applied when one wants to
comment about the game.
When we toss in game, probability is used as there is an equal
chance of getting head or tail.
Referees and coaches make calls which are based on time.
We can compare failure and success rate by collecting data of
all the past game played. This can only be done using some
aspects of maths.
To make the field of correct measure, we need good
knowledge of Mensuration

12. 12
Navigation
(Practical knowledge of Coordinate Geometry )
Concept is widely used while working with
graphic designing software
We often use it to navigate a city or to locate
objects in a grid.
When geo caching, we use latitude and longitude
Astronomers (and amateurs) use sky coordinates
to locate objects of interest.
13. 13
Banking and Shopping
(Practical knowledge of Percentage and Interest )
We visit supermarkets to buy items, purchasing
decisions require some understanding of budgets and
the cost
Transaction of money
Stocks and Bonds
EMI, Loan, Interest paid on loan, interest paid by the
bank, etc.
14. 14
Architecture
(Practical knowledge of Mensuration, Geometry and Symmetry)
A water tower and many other structures include many solid
shapes whose volume can be calculated through geometry.
Symmetrical and geometrical concepts have been applied in
the construction of some famous monuments such as Taj
Mahal, Eiffel Tower etc
Areas of differently sized and shaped lands can be found
through the application of area formulas
'The Pythagoras Theorem' is used to measure of size for
painting a building or finding the shortest route to a particular
location
15. Math helps us to maintain our
exercise routines.
Math is used to calculate short
term and long term goals.
It is used to measure our
growth in fitness levels.
16. Enduring understandings
Mathematics is an important tool
It is not just a subject a school
If students develop a good understanding of mathematics at
this stage in their lives, the skill will stay with them forever.
The students can learn a new skill
– Art and Craft
– Home Economics
– Mini Company
– Gardening
– Tailoring

17. Art and Craft
Home Economics
Mini Company
ENDURING/EFFECTIVE LEARNING OUTCOMES
• Students have a deeper understanding of the
underlying concepts of dimensional scaling
• Students have improved spatial reasoning and
awareness
• Students are able to apply this knowledge in
examinations and real-life situations

Each student
will crochet an
owl with the
same specified
dimension
using a pattern,
wool and
crochet hook
provided.

Let’s find out an approximation
of his area.
Having flattened him, we can
use the Trapezoidal rule to
make an estimate of his surface
area remembering to multiply
the result by two for front and
back.
(Note: Ideally we would take a
measurement of the curved
surface rather than flat surface
area.)
20. Here we have divided Bill’s flattened profile into
trapezia, each of 10mm width.
21. 21
Measure and then cut out the required
circles and triangle from a sheet of felt.
Area = ½ base x height Area = πr²
22. 22
Weigh the amount of filling
material needed to stuff Bill. (40
grams approx.)
Eyes and beak to be sewn onto
the helical section
Wings can be added, and
students can include ornamental
touches (flowers etc.) if they
wish
Sew up the top hole and you are
finally ready to make a….
23. 23
Gardening
(Practical knowledge of Mensuration )
Even doing something as mundane as
gardening requires a basic math skill.
If we need to plant or sow new seeds or
seedlings you need to make a row or count
them out or even make holes.
Measuring skills is always needed, and
calculations of the essence when doing
something new in the garden.
24. Tailoring
Making Skirts in different sizes
(a) A very large Compass (or a piece of string secured at one end
will do)
(b) A calculator
(c) A roll of cheap curtain material or old sheets that students
have at home.
(d) And some measurements.
(e) Each skirt will have to be cut a different size and the
calculations will have to be adjusted for each batch of sizes.
25.
26. You need to know the intended length of the
skirt, leaving an extra two inches for a hem.
E.g. for size 10 the length without a hem or
waist band should be at least 15 inches. If we
add 2 inches for a hem, then the skirt length
must be 17 inches.
What will be the radius of the larger circle?

A short mathematical story
Burglar robs a bank
Escapes in getaway car
Pursued by police
GOOD NEWS Police take a photo
BAD NEWS Photo is blurred
33. 33
Take the photo to a mathematician
Original
f(x)
Blurring
h(x) = f(x)*g(x)
g(x)
Maths gives a formula for blurring convolution
By inverting the formula we can get rid of the blur

Modern medicine has been transformed by methods of seeing
Inside you without cutting you open!
Ultra sound: sound waves
MRI: magnetism
CAT scans: X rays
ALL USE MATHS TO WORK!!
36. 36
CAT = Computerised axial tomography
Based on X-Rays discovered by Roengten
X-Rays cast a shadow
GOOD for looking at bones
BAD for looking at soft tissue
37. 37
CAT scanners work by casting many shadows with X-rays
and using maths to assemble these into a picture
Modern CAT
