Math at Work Brochures for Students

Following up on the work of the American Diploma Project, Achieve has produced a series of “Mathematics at Work” brochures to examine how higher-level mathematics is used in today’s workplaces. The brochures present case studies drawn from leading industries nationwide to illustrate the advanced mathematics knowledge and skills embedded in jobs that offer opportunities for advancement and are accessible to high school graduates.

The series underscores the value of a rigorous high school curriculum in mathematics. All high school graduates – regardless of whether they enroll in college, join the workforce or enter the military – benefit from acquiring a comprehensive knowledge base and skill set in mathematics.
