Who is counting? Counting is a process that takes place every day. People count for many different reasons. where from five to thirty minutes staring at the alarm clock counting the minutes until they just ml-Q to get up. The students in Mr. Roberts class have a habit of counting too. They count for almost an hour which includes numbers and variables WI-I0 S CGU TI that supposedly equal to an answer. This year w s a memorable one in the Math department. This year for teaching here and it looks like he was loaded down. Mr. Rob- erts taught everything from Computer Science to Pre-Algebra. If some- one walked in the room towards the end of the class the students wouldnt be the only ones glancing at the clock every few minutes to see when the bell was ringing. If you look around counting is used by ev- now-a-days is to own as many Swatch watches as your wrist will hold. Of course we all know that no one can tell what time it is on t ose watches. Those people must live in a time all by themselves. Who does count? Peo- ple of all sizes shapes and professions count things all the time. But one thing we all have in common when- ever we re bored tired give in we all start counting something - it may be the minutes on a clock the tiles on the wall or even the number of rings a per- son has on their hand but its always some- thing!!!
