Connections
Where one subject meets another
At school every subject has its own lesson. In your head it all connects. Here are a few places where the apps meet.
VAT, discounts, inflation, a growing city: percentages are the language we use for money and population.

A half note, a quarter note, an eighth: filling a bar is doing fractions without noticing.
Every place in a binary number is a power of two. Understand powers and you can read the computer's language.
Interest is a percentage that comes back every year. With percentages you see what a loan really costs.

Who decides about your street, your school or the train? That depends on where you live. The map and the state belong together.

A high note is a fast vibration. In music you hear it, in physics you measure it.
Who wrote this, when and why? Historians have asked these questions for centuries. They work just as well for a message on your phone.
A small, chosen list. Once the apps are open, they will link these topics to each other directly.
