    “Why do indeed to study math?” This is a question I used to ask every time I encountered difficult primary school math questions or every time I did not feel like doing my math homework. Like many people, I once firmly believed we study math merely to finish our homework and pass math exams and that math is only relevant to those who would like to pursue a career as scientists. However, this perception later turned out to be absolutely ridiculous.
    One turning point was when I was 16, while washing dishes, I noticed that the soap bubbles were packed together like a honeycomb, but not all of these shapes were perfectly round. Why did some of the bubbles look like hexagons (六边形)? Why didn’t I see any star-shaped bubbles?
    When I learned that math could help answer these questions, I realized math pops up even in our kitchen sink. You may worry that learning many topics in elementary school, like percentages and measurements, is a waste of time. But your concern is definitely unnecessary. Look at these examples and you’ll know what I mean. If you want to build a fence around your house or paint your walls a new color, all of those activities require knowledge about measurement and scaling. More complicated construction projects, such as building a tree house, require lots of mathematical problem-solving skills.
