Real world applications of mathematics for students

Mathematics is not just a subject in the classroom but also helps students apply to real-life situations. For students aged 10 to 12, applying mathematics in daily life can make this subject more interesting and understandable. Below are some insights from VSchool on the practical applications of mathematics that students can observe around them.

Managing Pocket Money

Managing pocket money or daily expenses is an important skill that mathematics can help students develop. From the amount of money provided by parents daily, weekly, or monthly, students can learn to keep track of the money they receive and plan its use wisely for daily needs, buying things they like, or saving.

For example, if students have 100,000 VND per week to spend, they need to calculate how much they can spend each day to avoid running out of money before the end of the week.

Applications in Sports

Mathematics also plays a significant role in sports competitions, from scoring games to measuring distances in running, swimming, or long jumps. In training, mathematics helps students plan according to their physical condition, allocate energy reasonably to increase training time and improve performance. Additionally, students can use mathematics to improve their sports skills by calculating angles and the force needed to shoot a ball into a basket or kick a ball into the goal.

Cooking Also Requires Mathematics

Cooking is a great way to apply mathematics. When cooking, students need to measure ingredients accurately and calculate cooking times. This helps them understand concepts of fractions, ratios, and how to divide different components to combine and create delicious meals.

Mathematics is an essential part of daily life with many practical applications for students to explore. By applying mathematics to daily activities, students not only improve their math skills but also develop critical thinking and problem solving abilities. At VSchool Middle School, we emphasize integrating these lessons into the curriculum to help students connect mathematical knowledge with the world around them.
