Who actually uses advanced math in their everyday lives? Well, students
do. This might seem to be obvious, but it is worth pointing out that
doing well on the SAT or ACT requires a fair amount of algebra and
geometry. (These subjects aren't really advanced math, but they are
advanced compared the math that many adults use.)
These tests give high
school math a certain amount of practical importance, even for people
who plan on majoring in liberal arts and entering a mathematics-free
profession. Engineers, many kinds of scientist (both pure and applied),
computer programmers, and actuaries are a few examples of people that
actually do use a great deal of math. There are plenty of other
math-intensive careers, but the truth is, most people who don't want to
do trigonometry, calculus, or statistics as adults will never be held
back by that preference.
So what should teachers and parents tell students who don't like math
and want to know why they are being forced to learn it? Well, that
depends on the level of math in question.
Elementary and middle school math are in common, everyday use. While
there are successful adults who are not comfortable with math through
ratios, proportions, and percents these people have limited options.
It's analogous to the way that there are successful adults who don't
read or write well- while these people exist, they operate with a
handicap. Elementary and middle school math has such broad application
that it really is fair to tell kids that they will actually use it later
in life.
