Geoff's Research Essay Topic

For my research essay, I would like to investigate the role of mathematics education and how it is relevant to everyday life. The main question that I will try to answer is "Is Everyday Mathematics Truly Relevant to Mathematics Education?" My exhibit will most likely focus on a mathematical equation and its application to everyday life. One of the sources I will use to explore this topic is David W. Carraher and Analucia D. Schliemann's work in the Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, which I found at JSTOR.
