Creativity break: What can we do to expand our creative skills? | Algebra 1 | Khan Academy

There are so many ways that you can expand your creative and math skills without even really realizing that you're doing it. Like for me, I'm a big board game fan.

Um, I realize that there are so many games that involve math and learning how to solve problems. And sometimes, like just, uh, when you're cooking. I love to bake, and so I feel like I'm constantly using fractions and learning how to do proportions.

Um, just because I'm doing things that I love, so I feel like the best way to expand your mathematical and creative skills is just doing what you love to do. Because probably it has some kind of math in it and, um, some kind of creativity.

Try to connect what you're learning to your real life. It's really easy to be in the classroom and think that it's siloed, uh, and it's orthogonal from the world around you.

The more we can connect what we're learning in the classroom to our real life, either via sports, entertainment, politics, news, whatever.

The connection that you make between math and your real life will really help you appreciate the skills and the methods and find ways to transfer them outside of just the classroom alone.
