Mathematics in Everyday Life

Mathematics is a universal subject that applies to every aspect and level of human affairs. You make use of fraction, proportion, and ratio every time you vary the quantity of salt and seasoning cubes according to the size of the broth or share gifts amongst people. Consider how you plan your expenses to meet your income. You make use of percentages and basic arithmetic. Consider how you calculate your journey time based on your journey history. You’re definitely using probability, and distance and time. The truth is every time, we make use of mathematical lessons without knowing it. It is impossible to hate maths, as it is fondly called, and not use it.

This, perhaps, made Roger Bacon — a 13th-century English scholar — say that “neglect of mathematics works injury to all knowledge since he who is ignorant of it cannot know the other sciences or the things of the world.”

Mathematics as a Secondary School Subject

Aristotle called mathematics ‘the science of quantity’. More formally, it is the science of structure, order, and relation that has evolved from counting, measuring, and counting the shapes of objects. (Britannica)

For many secondary school students, Maths bears many qualifiers. But none is endearing. From ‘crazy’ to ‘scary’, ‘hard’ to ‘worrisome’, ‘ache-inducing’ to ‘loathsome’, it is clear that math phobia is a common experience among many students in Nigeria. This hatred, unfortunate as it is, is often as a result of a number of reasons, i.e. the poor teaching techniques of many maths teachers, poor knowledge of the course itself on the part of many teachers, and the unpleasant learning experience for many students.

However, maths is one of the very important subjects in secondary school. Without passing it, a student cannot move to the next academic level. It is also the foundation of other subjects in the sciences such as physics, chemistry, and biology.

Secondary school students are expected to learn topics like geometry and measures, algebra, probability and statistics, logarithms, and the almighty word problems which actually seem more like World problems. These topics will be taught within the approved six years before the students face the culminant GCSE. It is believed that these topics, if well understood, prepare a student to face college education.
