Have you ever heard that question in your classroom? Achieve.org has put together some great brochures showing how math is used in a variety of professions.

You may also enjoy looking at the materials PBS has from their series: Get the Math.  They have posted lesson plans for Math in Special Effects, Math in Videogames, Math in Fashion, Math in Restaurants, Math in Music, and Math in Basketball (for 7th-10th grades).
