text: Here are a couple of ideas for you:\n\nProblem solving is a math skill that could some day save your life!\n\nHow about probability? You know, things like: gambling, the lottery, deciding if what you say to your mom is gonna get you grounded.\n\nGeometry! Building a house, figuring out how much paint to buy to cover the stain from the tomato sauce...\n\nI could get really geeky and explain why sound (in decibels) is an exponential function and not a linear one, but I'll save you the headache. ;)
