GED Math: Getting Your Street Math

You know, one of the things that helps me out with all this GED math is doin’ estimatin’ in my head. I figured this all comes from figurin’ out how much stuff costs, you know. It all comes back to the cash.

So try this… next time you go get groceries, keep track in your head how much you’re spending. Try to estimate the costs… you know, $1.50 instead of $1.38… to make it easier to add together the amounts in your head. When you get in the checkout line, see how close you were, and try to get closer each time you buy groceries. Maybe start with just buyin’ a few things, then more each time. That way, you can build up your street math, just like I got in my head.
