Section one, Measurement in Your Home, covers area, perimeter, circumference, temperature and time. Section two, Environmental Math, shows how to help the environment and save money at the same time by cutting down on water consumption, electricity use and garbage. Section three, Paying Bills, deals with handling bills for utilities, credit cards and mortgages.
