"When am I ever going to use this?"

It is a question that has plagued math teachers for decades. Now you can answer the question.

The Make It Real Learning Periodic & Piecewise II collection contains 10 real-world math activities that demonstrate everyday applications of mathematics. From Airports and Angles: Using the Law of Cosines and Law of Sines to Meteorology: Working with Sinusoidal Models, the activities provide learners with valuable life skills in addition to mathematical understanding. Rest assured that each activity integrates real world information not just "realistic" data.
