Discovering Everyday Uses of Math

[superKid]

Everyday Math?

I think this is the perfect place to ask all of you if you could tell me some really intereseting places the following topics are used in everyday life-

-Difference Equations
-Permutations and combinations
-Probabilitly
-Co-ordinate geo of the line/circle
-Vectors

I am just new to teaching Math and I want to be able to make the class as interesting as possible! Any kind of specific example would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance to all who contribute.
