money

This is how I used maths in the holiday.

I Used maths when I had to go to my friends house and I had to come back in an hour and a half ,so I counted on what time I had to come back.

When I had to go to the shops I had thirteen pounds and I had to pay three pounds so I took away the three from thirteen pounds.

Once I had to use maths when I was baking a cake I had to measure the exact measurement for the ingredients and check the temperature on the oven.

Math in real life

In the Holidays I went to the shops for my mum.

My mum told me that she wanted a fizzy drink and for me to get a drink and some sweets.

My mum’s drink cost £1 and my drink cost 60p so I had to work out how much I could spend. I had a ten pound note so I needed to check I would get the right change.

The shopping cost £1.60 so I worked out I would need £8.40 change.

That’s maths in real life!

How we used maths in the holiday!

Mary’s shopping 

I went shopping at Tesco with my dad, I had to use my money knowledge because every time my dad put something in the trolley, I looked at the price and added it all up. When we got to the till I was a few pounds off, but I still did very well to do all that adding as we bought a lot if things!

 

How to use maths in real life at the shop

It was half term last week and even though I wasn’t at school, I still used my Maths skills! I went to the shop to get my dad and me some drinks because we were tidying at the weekend with my dad. It cost 75p each and I got crisps and they cost £1.00 each so it cost me a total of £2.50. I had £3.50 on me so I knew I had enough money.

After more tidying my dad wanted more drinks so we went back to the shops. My dad got a 65p drink and £1.00 crisps and I got a £1.00 drink and a £1.00 crisps then went back home and had a sit down. In total for the whole day I spent 75p+75p+£1.00+65p+£1.00+£1.00+£1.00=£6.15

Maths in real life

During the May holiday ,I went on holiday 3 hours from here but  we had a caravan on the back of our car so it took longer .I had to use my maths skills to see how much longer it would take.  An extra 30minutes so we left at 3:30pm-6:30pm we arrived.

Another time I had to use my maths skills ,was when I had £10 . I bought a figet cube for £3 and a charm for £5 so that left me with £2 . That I spent it on 2 bows that were £1 each and that was all of my money GONE!

By using my Maths skills I could wrk out how much money I had left.

Maths in real life

One way of using maths in real life could be shopping by counting your money to give to the shopkeeper.£1…£2…£3…

Or if you going on a trip but you need to know how far your end location is so you have to count all of those kilometres or miles.

Another way could be if you’re a strongman (or woman) you’d want to know how heavy your weight that you’re lifting is so you don’t end up lifting 2000000000000kg!

If you’re going to work or school you have to know what time you need to get there but if you are late your boss or teacher will be very angry.

You also use Maths in real life when you are at a garage you need to get the right amount of fuel,diesel or gas to get your car moving or if you’re brushing your teeth you need to have a timer for three minutes.

If you’re a magician you need to time your magic on stage for the show.

How I used maths over the holidays!

When I went on holiday, I went to the Olympic Park. Me,  my mum, dad and cousin, Rose, wanted to go boat riding so we decided to go. My parents said “For a child its £4 and we have two children so how much would that be for the both of you?”

Really quickly I answered ” £8 for me and Rose!”

After my mum replied, “Well done, the next boat is at 3:00 and the time now is 2:37 so how many more minutes left?”

Rose beat me because she answered “23minutes.”

My father then asked, “It’s £10 for me and your mum so how much is it all together?” I instantly replied, ” £18!”

I enjoyed using Maths!
