Does your study of latin help you understand math? 

There are few things in the world as lovely as being in the presence of a latin student when they hear a new word.  When I ask my latin students what a percent is, they immediately respond that it is part of a hundred.  How did they know that? Because literally, that is what percent means: for a hundred. Using that knowledge and what we already know about money helps make percents, calculating percents, and working with percents a simple easy concept to grasp. 

Join me as we look at how to apply this idea of 'for a hundred' to the world of math and the world around you.
