Introduction
Math is everywhere and yet we may not recognize it because it doesn't look like the math we did in school. Math in the world around us sometimes seems invisible. But math is present in our world all the time ? in the workplace, in our homes, and in our personal lives.
You are using math every time you go to the bank, buy something on sale, calculate your wages, calculate GST or a tip.
Money Math is one workbook of the Everyday Math Skills series. The other workbooks are:
? Kitchen Math ? Home Math
We have also developed a math skills booklet called Simply Math to help learners with different math operations that are needed for this series.
Money Math has three sections. Each section has a variety of topics and worksheets and a review page. The workbook is designed so that you can work on your own or with others in your class.
Section One: Personal Finances This section gives you an opportunity to reflect on your personal finances. You learn to look at your expenses and set up a budget. You consider where you might cut expenses in your daily living. You also learn how to calculate weekly, monthly and yearly wages and how federal and NWT tax works.
