What does it mean to do math? What does math look like? Where do you find math? Who uses it?

Math is everywhere, and that's what I love about it. Because since everything uses it, it can always be solved. So no matter how long it takes you to figure out a problem, there is always a right answer and a way to solve. Now I'm not saying I want to do that, but the fact that I could if I wanted to Is exciting. When you solve math problems in class, it helps to look at them as real world problems v.s. pointless busy work. And the fact that everything you learn can, and most likely will, be used makes it that much more entertaining to complete. Math doesn't have a specific look, like almost like air. Although, unlike air, it can be unseen, or written on a sheet of paper. The best part is math is used by everyone. Our brains automatically compute things when we do every day tasks such as shopping, skateboarding, and even surfing. While in a store you calculate the price of items you want to buy into your budget, or how many of something you need. When playing sports your brain has to calculate the exact time to make a play. Math is so important to our everyday lives, and most people never take the time to realize it.

What is physics? Are we doing physics? Where can you find it? Who uses it?

Physics is a type of science that calculates many different things such as velocity, speed, momentum, and mass. Like math, it is used to solve many real world problems. In our class we use it for things such as labs. In Class so far we have used physics to solve problems like "What affects the speed of a pendulum?"
