Must have paid more attention in math classes then I thought I did, it makes sense now. However at the time, it made no sense. Who would have thought? Funny stuff!

That is why they made that handy calculator that I have seen in the quilt shops. Right? I am terrible at math and struggle all the time to know how much fabric to use for a quilt. I am asking for the EQ for xmas.

had they made it more interesting, we all might have paid more attention.

Math, who needs math? Lucky for me my husband is a math wiz and most of my quilt friends are pretty good too.

Then you need to find the square root of c to find the length of the hypotenuse.

Never could understand why the square root of c was different from a + b

Yes, I've often thought that if they had combined home ec and geometry and had us making quilts, I would have been much more inspired to do my geometry homework. But at the time, of course, I wasn't a quilter, so who knows if it really would have helped.

If you are homeschooling, though, it seems to have real possibility.
