They are important as another tool in your arsenal for problem fixing. Even simple UI/UX problems require basic arithmetics and algebra, but with a middle school math level you can do it.

More important, is Logic, a branch of Math that some times is oversight in education. Understanding boolean operations is a must. Being able to formulate logical statements will crack almost any problem. Luckily, it is something simple to teach and to learn.
