No longer only the language of science, mathematics is now essential to business, finance, health, and defense. Yet because of the lack of mathematical literacy, many students are not prepared for tomorrow's jobs. Everybody Counts suggests solutions. Written for everyone concerned about our children's education, this book discusses why students in this country do not perform well in mathematics and outlines a comprehensive plan for revitalizing mathematics education in America, from kindergarten through college. single copy, $8.95; 2-9 copies, $7.50 each; 10 or more copies, $6.95 each (no other discounts apply)MathematicsStudy and teachingUnited StatesMathematical readinessMathematicsStudy and teachingMathematical readiness.510/.7/1073Committee on the Mathematical Sciences in the Year 2000.National Research Council (U.S.).Mathematical Sciences Education Board.National Research Council (U.S.).Board on Mathematical Sciences.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910973282003321Everybody counts4352170UNINA
