Preparing For A Mathematical World IT ' S NOT EASY to go through life without knowing any basic mathe- matics because future jobs depend greatly on mathematics. Pre-school students learned how to count and identify numbers and then add and subtract the prob- lems. Elementary students counted money and solved basic multiplica- tion and division problems. Middle School students worked on more difficult arithmetic problems. High school students took classes such as general math, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and consumer math. Selected students took the annual American High School Mathematics Examination (AHSME), a test which gave greater emphasis to the essen- tial ideas behind each solution. ISD students loved or hated this very important subject that they all would use very often in their lives. Mr. Merle Goldman teaches Trade Sams how to identify numbers in millions in a Mid- dle School classroom. When she gets older, she will be able to use the large numbers involved in science and economics. High school student Scott Dallman tries to solve a solution set in Pre-Algebra class. 29
