Math Practice 7-9

Daily routines can help promote and develop numerical thinking.

Looking at the world from a different perspective allows us to see patterns and connections that we may not normally see or notice. Try estimating everyday activities/items (distance, weight, time, cost). Calculate driving times and average speeds. Find the better deal at the grocery store. Create a monthly budget of expenses. Look at graphs showing the growth of Covid 19 in BC, compare it to Canada, other countries.
