Episode Summary
Did you know that we use math in everyday life and not just at school? I use math each time I go to the store to buy my cute little dog Frederick new fluffy toys when he rips apart his old ones. I have to check the price tag to see how much it costs and look at my budget to see how much money I can spend that’s within my budget. Math is literally all around us! In fact, there are people out there who do this for their job who help kids feel confident and excited about math and help them think through problems and how it is used in everyday life. Those people are called edupreneurs!
In today’s episode, we get to learn more about what it’s like to be an edupreneur from our special guest, Dr. Christopher Roblész.
