Publisher's Synopsis
Now you have the answer to your students' question, "When are we ever gonna have to use this?" After interviewing working people--from dentists to firefighters to carpet cleaners--the author formulated more than 350 "real-life" work problems. Students explore 60 different math topics in the problems, which are arranged by occupation and math content in three levels of difficulty. A wall chart summarizes the results, showing 100 occupations and the 71 kinds of math they require each day! Includes answers.
