The scientist Albert Einstein was born on March 14, 1879 in Germany. At an early age, Einstein showed a great interest in math and science. He built models and mechanical devices for fun and began to show a talent for mathematics. Einstein is widely regarded as one of the most influential and best known scientists and intellectuals of all time. He is often regarded as the father of modern physics. Einstein received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921.

It is important because when you go to a shop or store you have to pay for the items you purchased and add up the total and sometimes the cashier needs to give you change. In businesses the company uses math to see how much money they earned. If there wasn't math there would be no math class at school. There also wouldn't be science either because you use a lot of math in science. There also wouldn't be any shops or stores if there was no such thing as math because there wouldn't be any numbers for prices. Without math the world would be a disaster. We should be grateful for math.

It is important because as you probaly know we use math all the time. There is math in all the things around, at stores, at home, and at school, of course. Science is also very important. Science is used to make a lot of every day things, like the lights that light up your home. Math and science are two very impotant things that everyone uses every day all the time.

I think math is important because if you go to a bank to deposit or draw in/out money you first need to know how much money is in your bank acount. Then you need to calculate how much money you want to deposit in or draw out. Another reason is, if you wanted to host a party you would need to know how much it will all cost. Like for the food, drinks, seating, dinning area, and music mabye. That is why math is important outside of the classroom.

Math is important because we use math every day. Without math, you couldn't add up money to see how much it would cost if you bought something. At a bank, you couldn't deposit money or take out money. In fact, banks might not exist at all! We use math to engineer, to add, subtract, multiply, divide, measure, math is everywhere!

It is important because you need math to build things. Also if you are play a video game like legand of zelida games . Or if you are doing a relly hard puzzle. You need math for a job. Also like fractions to make things fair. math is a very useful thing unless you don't know it sad face.

spelling mistake a DOUBLE sad face

You need to know math to do jobs like being a cashier, a lawyer, or an accountant. Teachers need to know math so they can pass their skills on to students. You use math in everyday life too. You use math when you go shopping to find the lowest price. You also use math when sharing something between people to split it evenly. You need math when following a recipe in cooking. When you are sorting out your bank account and finding out how much interest you have you use math. Computers, technicians, and programmers also use math.

Math is very important because you use it everywhere like at the store if you need change. Also fractions are part of math and in some pizza stores they use fractions for part of their pizzas. If math was never discovered then a big part of companies would go down. There would also no graphs or profit margins. Many people would be less educated and it would be very bad. So thank you very much Albert Einstein.

Math is very useful in life in many, many ways. You could not believe what the world would be like math. Math is used in banking, building, engineering and many more ways.

Math is important in every day life. We need math to measure ingredients while cooking. Math is important for airplane dynamics. Without math the airplane would never get airborne. Math is used to make pH testers to test water acidity. Math is needed to calculate change when you are paying at the store. Without math almost nothing would get done.

Math is important because so you know how much to pay at a store. You need to know how to do math so you can become a dentist. So you can estimate how much it cost for food etc. So you can fill medicine bottles. This is why you need to know math.

math is important because when you go shopping in different places you need the amount of money and add up the amount and if you did not know this then how would you know the amount of money used.Fractoins are also yoused in math even in our classroom because if we split the room in half then it would be 1 and a half.also books can be math to because it teaches us different things for example math.math is fun and it can teach you a lot!Thats why i study a houl bunch!if you like math then keep on trying even the people that don't like math keep trying because it can help so much for other people.

Math is important because,if you are an architect, you would use math to measure things to build them. If you where eating pizza, and everyone wanted an equal piece, you would need to know how to divide it into equal parts. If you are a cashier, you would need to know how to give back change. if you are a tailor you would use math to take correct measurements for cloths.Math is used in almost everything in our everyday lives, even when we might not ever even notice it.

Math is important in everyday life because if everyone in the world didn't know any math people wouldn't have an education. It would be ridiculous because you use math every time you purchase something without realizing it. I know all the kids wish math never was invented, but if it wasn't they would regret it. Math can be very useful in our lives. I hope after that paragraph people will realize how important math can be.

Math is important because if you worked at a store, you would need to know the exact change to give a person if you were a cashier. Is is important also for figuring out games, math in class, and lunch money. I use math in figuring out problems also. I also use math to count the money in my purse, and for my family to go on vacation. Math is all around us, and we don't always realize it.

Math is a very important subject. Without math we wouldn't be able to count things. Einstein was a mathematician and scientist. He interested other scientists and mathematician in greater inventions. If we didn't use math we wouldn't be able to count money, fractions, and we wouldn't be able to measure shapes and lines. Math is used all around the world. Math was invented about in 1499, a long time ago. Math is hard to learn but is very important.

If we did not have math we could not add money. There would be no fractions so pizza silces would be uneven. If there was no math there would be no counting eather. You could not count people. Also we would have no math class.

It is important because you have to know how to pay for stuff. So you don't have to count on your fingers. If we didn't have math science wouldn't be invented. (My dad say 3-5 is a sentence.)
