Unveiling Key Strategies and Resources to Enhance Mathematical Skills and Improve Problem-Solving Abilities

Real-Life Math takes an international perspective in exploring the role of mathematics in everyday life and is intended for high school age readers. As Real-Life Math (RLM) is intended for a younger and less mathematically experienced audience, the authors and editors faced unique challenges in selecting and preparing entries.

How is it possible to count a complicated pattern of strawberry seeds or grapes on a vine or camel humps–in a blink of an eye?
