In this GLP, we not only identify ways that math is used in our everyday lives, but also observe how math is used in the lives of others. We share photos and videos of our use of math and comment intelligently on what others around the world have shared. If you have ever asked “When will I ever use this in real life?”, then this GLP is for you!
Collaborate Globally
Calling all Middle and High School math students (ages 11-18) from across the world... come share where math is used in your everyday life! Let us collaborate together and learn from our similarities and differences.
My name is Julia Urbanski. I am a high school math teacher in southern California earning my Masters Degree in Instructional Technology. I have created this GLP to increase awareness of the importance of math in the lives of students. I want my students to know why math matters and how it is used all over the world.
