The goal of this website is to help students, teachers, and others to develop a better understanding of how mathematics fits into a variety of careers. Through looking at different careers, we can see how elementary, middle school, high school, and higher mathematics are a part of the daily tasks of those careers.
The goal of the poster is to enlighten others to see where mathematics is used in different careers. The poster aligns with the common core standards found in the Common Core From Poster section of this website. This section allows for the ability to print the poster for display.
The goal of looking at Common Core from the poster is to connect the mathematical sections from the poster to the Common Core Standards. This section will include each of the mathematical concepts from the poster and links them to middle school and high school Common Core.
The goal of the careers section is to see how mathematical concepts of popular careers and connect them back to that career. Each career in the section will have the mathematical topics used in that career and some may have a flyer or video to help better see the use of the mathematics in that career. Much of the information was sourced from the BLS and WeUseMath.
