RE: An answer to the "When am I going to need this?" question I always heard in science and math class

[tltran]

While in another teacher's classroom I saw a poster that answered this question in terms of problem solving. It mentioned that you will need to be able to problem solve throughout your life, so every activity and question is practice to do so in the future. I liked that a lot because it could be applied to any content area or grade level.
