I spent a long two hours on the phone with my electric company recently trying to explain to a customer service representative the difference between 5 cents and .05 cents. He thought I was crazy and it took speaking to 4 different people for them to understand that one of those numbers is 100 times bigger than the other.

Just found you on the TPT forum. I love your blog and your ideas!

I am always stressing the importance of math in real life, but never thought of stressing the math "mistakes" in real life! I think students will find this super engaging, and also good for a laugh!
