  Case: The never ending question
Why do I need to learn this? Ill never use this stuff again?!

We all know that we are bound to get this question.... at least 5 times.
What are some ways we, as teachers, can help relate the classwork to real life problems and situations?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Honestly, I think this is simple. Don't give students unnecessary work and tell them how it relates. We need to learn fractions to decide how much of the pizza everyone gets, we need to learn about history so we know where we come from, and science to help understand what is all around us... This could be really fun to work into your daily lessons.

Comments: I like the point of unnecessary work, many times teachers will give "busy work" and that is often what the students complain about
