Not to be mean-spirited or anything, but don't your math
teachers teach any math to these kids?  I mean, This is all life
skills stuff that requires little more than basic arithmetic. 
No trig, no algebra, no calculus?  I suppose you could teach
some basic statistics with some of those things, but they don't
appear to be designed for it.
