Math is a skill: Increase Your Abilities

1. The math you know will only better your career.

2. Practice similar math problems to increase knowledge.

3. Understand why it is right.

4. Redo incorrect work until you get it right.

5. If you still can’t get it right, come see me.

Math Can Be Approachable!

• Learning as an adult can be a totally different experience.

• Learning is about making mistakes, taking risks and “getting outside your comfort zone”.

• There are many ways to solve math problems.

• Support each other, accept different learning styles.

I really understood this idea

I have few questions about…before I can

say I understand I don’t even know where to start on…

Label Your Emotions

Increase your Math Confidence #1

A Coffee Shop has 49 Salmon filets in the freezer. There are 27 filets in the primary refrigerator and 38 more in the auxiliary refrigerator. How many Salmon filets does the Coffee Shop have on hand?

• On hand: (slang) means to current physical count of inventory supplies found in storage.

• 27 + 38 + 49 = 114 on hand

Increase your Math Confidence #2

You have 325 chocolates. 60% of them are filled with caramel. The remaining are filled with fruit de crème. How many chocolates are filled with fruit de crème?

• (multiply) 325 x 60% = ?

• 325 x .60 = 195 w/ caramel

• 325 – 195 = 130 w/ fruit de

crème

Increase your Math Confidence #3

• A restaurant receives an order of 255 lbs of golden delicious apples. If a box holds 15 lbs of apples, how many boxes did the restaurant receive?

• (divide) 255 apples / 15 lb box= ?
