Practical examples from everyday life, spanning personal financial
matters to traveling and even cooking conversions are the lessons
offered in this useful guide. The vast majority of older students
and adults who come to America come from countries that use the
metric system. Learning a new system for measuring, telling time,
and so forth is confusing at best and makes adapting to our society
much harder. Besides being useful in its own right, applied
mathematics provides a wonderful opportunity to use the conversions
between the American Standard Measurement system and metric as a
basic teaching tool. Mathematics also serves as a means to improve
vocabulary and writing skills. Despite the thousands of ESL
programs in existence, learning practical mathematics is often
entirely overlooked. Mathematics for ESL Learners attempts to
remedy that. Will be helpful to teachers and students as well as
community centers, public libraries, community colleges, and
language centers.
