"Real-life math is the math we encounter every day at home, in stores, inschool, and in the world at large. It is the math that allows us to accomplish tasks and function as citizens. When students understand how to work with the numbers they encounter in daily life, their mathematical skills and confidence will grow." - INTRODUCTION
