Maths for Quantifying Things in Real Life

I guess without Mathematics we cannot quantify things that we look and feel in this world. In order to quantify various things like solid, liquid and gas we need to have different units to each object. The metric system helps us to use different units to quatify objects. In order to learn metric system one should practice all the units in real life when we look at a particular object.

For example we travel daily from one place to another. We must first get familiar with the units involved in travelling alone like feet,speed,time,inches,metres,miles. Unless we practice the metric units in day to day life we will automatically forget and get confused with things.

Also good knowledge in metric units make you a person with good common sense.

Barry's Response - Everyday math is something we use more than we realize. Thanks for shedding light on this idea.
