Introduction Abstract mathematical concepts are often difficult for high school students to understand.Students are often adept at learning how to solve specific math problems but have a difficult timeunderstanding how they can relate to the real world. In response to this, math teachers try tocome up with engaging, real-world examples to not only allow
