Abstract
For the past three years I have participated in Title II projects that have focused on the needs of business and industry and the preparation of our high school graduates to meet these needs. In the course of these projects, in-service mathematics teachers from fourth through twelfth grade were placed in business and industry to study how mathematics is used to solve everyday problems. The settings ranged from the local hospital and real estate and insurance firms to such national corporations as Holiday Inn and E. F. Hutton. Government agencies, such as the local sheriff's office and the U.S. Space Institute, also participated. The idea of better preparing our graduates to meet the needs of business and industry finds ready support in the business world, and local newspapers were quick to publicize the cooperative efforts of those participating in the project.
