I was never a bad math student in school but math and I aren't friends yet with the aid of a calculator I can balance the check book to the penny and do what I refer to as "voluted quilt math." My husband is a retired high school math teacher and our son and daughter were both math majors in college and our daughter is a math/english teacher and our son works as sales manager for a Ford/Lincoln dealership. They laugh at me and my convoluted math logic which for some bizzare reason works well every time. LOL However I always figure things out two different ways to have a check to make sure I have it right. For math examples of how math/geometry applies to regular life, my daughter fills her room with my quilts and they do a lot of fun and unique math related project such as building bridges and buildings using q tips and toothpicks.
