Tiny Triumphs: Monitoring the Math of Our Daily Routines

We are always looking for examples of math in everyday life experiences. Recently I became aware of the opportunity for data collection and analysis in our daily commutes and routines.

After 3 years of always hitting the stop light going south on MLK jr Blvd at 38th Ave....recently I have an unbroken streak of 16 green lights in a row. And I don't speed up or slow down....just a steady 35.

So what are your personal best records recently? Where are there opportunities to notice, tabulate and analyze math-related times in your daily routines? Once noticed they can become wonderful tiny triumphs, right?
