A very comprehensive set of slides which could be used for displays in a Maths area. The information comes from the lovely posters at Mumsnet, who were asked whether they used maths in their jobs, and to describe what they did.
I have pretty much copied and pasted the replies, correcting only for SPaG and putting all quotes into the first person, so there are several duplicates (e.g. nurse, solicitor). Hopefully it will help students and parents to understand the context of maths outside of the classroom environment!
UPDATE September 2019. I have included a second file which contains more contributions from Mumsnet posters. There are some brilliant and unusual contributions!

Absolutely excellent resource. I teach Numeracy to students who are retaking their GCSE Maths for the second or sometimes 3rd time. Showing the purpose in what they are doing is so important. This will be coloured up and stuck all over my walls this year! Thank you.
