Honestly, let me start my paragraph by saying, for the last 13 years of my life I didn’t know why learning math is so necessary. However, just only these last few weeks I felt something has changed my perspective in math. During the summer break, I was always wanted to build a gaming table, but the problem is I didn’t know what to do, how should I measure, or even where should I start. I was so stuck.
The break is over the new school year start again, and luckily I was introduced to area and perimeter. This is aren’t new to me, but just because I never pay attention to it, so I just felt like a newborn baby with area and perimeter. Times goes on, everything goes well, until last week I was looking through old notes and saw the list of things I always to build to decorate my bedroom and yes one of them is the gaming table. At that right moment, I had thought to myself “Hey, I think I may be able to measure different shape easily, why now try to do it in real life.” On that same day, I had found a video on YouTube how to make gaming table, and literally, I could 100% understand the measurement data that he provides. That how to end it up to make a $700 gaming table with less them 20$ with simple math measurement and a little bit of critical thinking.
