I hate math.  No, I want to understand the concept of math.

    No, I get math. No, I get the idea of math.

           No, I don’t get the idea. No, math is boring.

 Why do we have to know math?

Math is our eternal life. Math is our future.

    On this earth, we have to know math to succeed-our destiny.

Math teaches us to understand how the world works in

    concepts

    sets

    patterns

    variables

    structures

    and logics.

            We know and understand math every day. 

At home, we use math while washing the dishes in sets.

When we cook we use math in formulas and recipes of how much ounces of sugar or salt used.

On the streets, we know math when we take steps in 2s and 3s.

 We know math when we use our car GPS system to reach our destiny.

the rules on the road tell us which signs follow into a pattern to reach our destination. 

At work, we know math when we cash our checks at the 

   bank

   the keyboard

   the clock

   the phone

   the watch

At the store, we know math when we give the store cashier a dollar, even when we do not know how to count well.

We know math when we put a quarter in the candy machine to get a narrow gumball or a plastic ring.

We know math when we put our debit card into the machine slot.

we know math when we obtain items.

Everywhere we go, we know math, we know how math works around the world even when we don't know math well.

We do not just have to know math,   

Life is math.
