PLN week-12 PLN-23

For my PLN I read an article called "Math in life" by James H. who was a teacher who was also a little concerned about what things are really that necessary to teach in math. He was thinking about what else could the curriculum include, or not include that would better the learning for the students.

This related to me because me like many other students will often question and complain about why we are learning these equations that seem hardly relevant to life. Or why I would need to know how to calculate the volume of a trapezoid? Instead maybe we should learn about things that we may not be taught outside of school, like credit, taxes, and mortgage things that we will definitely have to deal with and better know, because you are kind of on your own about learning this kind of stuff.

This definitely relates to the world because everyday people are dealing with credit, and taxes, and maybe even debt...and not so often we are trying to figure out the circumference of a sphere. I think that it would be the best thing to teach things that are much more relevant to life than things that we are learning that aren't that important if we decide to become an architect we can study more about that on our own time in college courses.
