Planning and Time Management

Math Helps You Get Things Done

Pre-Algebra helps you plan your day, keep track of time, and stay organized.

How Math Makes Life Easier

  • Schedules use numbers to show when things start and end.
  • Adding and subtracting time helps you manage homework and activities.
  • Using ratios can help you split time between tasks for better balance.

Why Use Math for Planning?

Knowing how to work with numbers means less stress and more fun!

Examples

  • If you start homework at 4:30 PM and it takes 45 minutes, you'll finish at 5:15 PM.

  • You want to split 2 hours between 3 activities. Each gets \( \frac{2}{3} \) hour (about 40 minutes).
