"Real World" Math

This phrase annoys me. It constantly buzzes in my head when I lesson plan or explain my career choice with people outside of my field. How is math applicable to students? Why would students ever need the knowledge of algebra in their real life? Mathematics has always been important to me, but how do I make it important to my students and to the people around me? When I was first introduced to problem based learning, I was involved in a service learning focused practicum experience. Although the practicum was supposed to be for science students, it involved what I love - math and gardening, and it was focused on getting students to engage in mathematics in a meaningful and problematic way. What I saw was that students wanted to help problem solve for their school garden. They wanted to learn more information to help them solve the irrigation problems they had. This curiosity and thirst for knowledge is where I believe true learning comes from- true conceptual understanding. So, I want to explore how I can encourage students to strive to learn through presenting mathematics in a problematic manner. I want to show students that definitions and formulas are not what mathematics and learning are about. I want them to be able to use that procedural knowledge in critically thinking about the world around them. I want to connect students to the problems in the world around them and how they can expand on the knowledge they gain in school to troubleshoot solutions. Real world math is not about finding geometric shapes in the real world and having students find the dimensions. Real world math is helping students learn how to apply their basic knowledge and understandings in abstract ways to find solutions to problems without obvious solutions.
