Math is Power
In middle school?
In high school?
Keep your opportunities and life choices open.
Plan to take math and science all the way through to graduation.
Without a solid math background, you can't even compete for entry-level jobs in
today's increasingly technology-based job market.
You are making choices now that will last your entire life.
Choose Science. Choose Math.
The knowledge base of
algebra, geometry, trigonometry, precalculus or the equivalent in
integrated curricula are crucial gatekeepers for access to a broad range
of careers, including engineering, the natural sciences, accounting,
investment banking and many others. Students who opt out of academic
mathematics as early as eighth grade, essentially forego any future
opportunity to pursue a career in such fields.
Math Is Power is a
national public service advertising campaign
developed by National Action Council
for Minorities in Engineering in collaboration with the Advertising Council to
provide information to parents and students about the importance of
advanced mathematics courses in high school.
