Real situation. Imagine that you are having a bath after a hard day of work. You have been in the bath for a while and the water is now a little chilly. You decide to add more water, only to realize that since your kids stayed home all day...school closed due to snow...They used up most of the hot water. Wait for it. You really want to stay in the tub. You ask one of your children to put on a pot of water to boil in a big pot. I want to figure out how much boiling water would be needed to make the water hot again? Whew! A lot of info. What would we need to figure out this problem? #mathintherealworld #mathteacher #mathwithnonumbers...yet. #DoKlevels

This was the scenario: 4 people, 2 donuts that everyone wanted a piece of. One donut was a sugar donut. The other donut was a blueberry donut. if they shared each donut equally, what fraction of each donut did each person get? What fraction of the 2 donuts did each person get? #mathintherealworld #mathteacher #dunkindonuts

Told you math and crowd size mattered. (See previous post.) Lol. From NPR, "In 2009, 317,000 people had, in fact, used the Metro by 11 a.m., according to WMATA, as Spicer cited. But the White House press secretary then claimed that 420,000 people had used the Metro on Friday; by 11 a.m. only 193,000 people had ridden Metro. For the whole day on Friday, 570,000 people used the system, but in 2013 there were 782,000 riders and 1.1 million riders in 2009."

This was sent to me by a teacher that I work with in Queens, NY. She said, "Wow! That is a really big number." I have not worked it out yet, but I wonder about this number in comparison to other really large numbers like a google or our national debt. How does one even finance this amount? How would I write this amount in scientific notation? #mathintherealworld #mathteacher
