Numbers Add Up In Every Class Sometime during first grade a teacher announced that 1+1=2. That simple announcement began a problem that would last all the way through high school—working with numbers. Simplicity quickly becomes complexity in high school. Math classes, science classes, industrial arts classes, in fact almost every class demands that a stu- dent be proficient with complicated mathematical operations. Whether it be a formula in physics, a trigonometry problem, or a drafting project, an ability to apply accepted principles to the ever-present numbers is essential.

Hands That Create Hands play an important role in the learning process. The aim of more and more classes is teaching students a manual skill they can use after high school. Skills such as using the potter’s wheel and even cabinet-making are recognized by most people as fine arts. However many people do not realize the creativity and technicality that is stressed in such classes as welding, electricity, and the machine shop.
