Tosha Larios Advanced Girl Math: Making Math Fun and Relatable!
Hey there! I’m Tosha Larios, and today we’re diving into the world of math in a way that’s fun, exciting, and totally relatable. You might have heard of “Advanced Girl Math,” which is all about using math in everyday situations. Let’s explore how math is everywhere around us and how it can help us in our daily lives!
What is Advanced Girl Math?
Advanced Girl Math isn’t just about complex equations or boring formulas. It’s about understanding how math fits into our lives. From budgeting your allowance to planning a garden, math is a powerful tool that can help us make smart decisions.
1. Budgeting Basics
One of the first places we use math is in budgeting. Let’s say you get $20 a week for your allowance. If you want to save up for a new game that costs $60, how long will it take you to save? Simple math helps us figure that out. If you save $20 each week, it will take you 3 weeks to have enough. Learning to budget is a great way to use math in real life!
2. Planning a Garden
Have you ever thought about growing your own vegetables? At Star Track Farm, we use math to plan how many seeds we need and how much space they will take up. For example, if you want to plant 10 tomatoes and each plant needs 2 feet of space, you’ll need 20 feet in your garden. Math makes gardening easier and more organized!
3. Cooking and Baking
Cooking is another area where math shines! When following a recipe, you often need to measure ingredients. If a recipe calls for 2 cups of flour and you want to make half, how much do you need? That’s right—1 cup! By using math in the kitchen, you can adjust recipes and create delicious meals. Check out more recipes at Cooking with Dr. T for tasty ideas that use math in cooking.
4. Shopping Smart
When shopping, math helps us get the best deals. If a shirt costs $30 but is on sale for 25% off, how much do you save? You would save $7.50, making the shirt only $22.50! Knowing how to calculate discounts is a great skill to have when shopping.
Why Math Matters
You might think math is just for school, but it’s everywhere! Learning math helps us solve problems, make decisions, and understand the world around us. The more you practice, the easier it gets!
Join the Advanced Girl Math Movement!
I believe that math should be fun and accessible for everyone, especially girls. By using everyday examples, we can show that math is not scary but can be a helpful tool. You can find more resources and activities on STEM with Dr. T to help you explore math further.
Let’s make math a part of our everyday lives! Follow my journey at Tosha Larios to discover more ways to embrace math in exciting ways.
