Real World Math Problems

During this period of social distancing, the math team has chosen to present opportunities to explore math at home and in the real world.  Math is all around us... whether we are completing a home project, splitting food evenly among friends, or completing our daily exercise activities, you can find the benefits of being a mathematical thinker.  Feel free to engage in the various math related problems below.  Once you have worked out the problem, send your response to your teacher so we can include you on the 'Math Thinkers' gallery at the bottom of this page!
