Mathematics is the key to opportunity. 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.

From Library Journal:
This report, developed by three units of the National Research Council, looks at the mathematics curriculum in the United States from kindergarten to graduate school. It not only identifies problems with mathematics instruction, but also suggests curriculum reforms. Separate sections describe the human resources involved with mathematics use and education; give an overview of the current curriculum; survey current teaching strategies and force; detail the changes that must be made in mathematics education; and examine the actions necessary to ensure that these changes are made. The report is straightforward and easy to read. The research and suggestions provided are sound. This document should be read by all teachers, administrators, and university math professors.
