Abstract

Mathematics is an essential part of daily life and influences decisions and problem-solving in various aspects of life. This study explores how mathematical concepts are embedded in daily activities such as financial management, cooking, travel planning, and technological interactions. We will show how arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and statistics are applied in real life to improve decision-making, efficiency, and productivity. Findings indicate that people with higher mathematical literacy solve problems more efficiently, especially in budgeting, as accurate calculations minimize financial mistakes and facilitate long-term financial planning. In cooking, proportional reasoning ensures the accuracy of recipes, thus providing consistent culinary results. Travel planning is made easier by calculations of time and distance, which optimize routes and save fuel. Statistical analysis helps in interpreting data trends, which is very important in areas such as health monitoring, market forecasting, and academic research. Moreover, mathematical skills improve spatial awareness in home design and construction, ensuring safety and functionality. Understanding probability supports decision-making in risk management, insurance, and gaming. In technology, algorithms based on mathematical models drive innovations from search engines to artificial intelligence applications. The study concludes that mathematical knowledge is essential for informed decision-making and resource management. Encouraging mathematical education through practical examples can bridge the gap between theoretical learning and real-worldapplication, fostering a mathematically literate society equipped to tackle complex challenges in diverse fields.
