If being able to balance your checkbook and figure your income taxes is your ultimate goal in math, you may be doing enough. These are the choices that you must make in each of the subjects as you plan your secondary program. The key to developing your curriculum lies in determining in each of the subjects, where you are on the skills continuum and where you would like to be when you are ready to graduate. The work sheets in The Unworkbook Zone are designed to help you to answer these questions. Some secondary students are involved, in the normal course of living their lives, in a variety of activities which directly relate to one or more of the academic areas.
Some students serve as guides to historic sites in their area.
They are learning history first-hand and they are doing speech. Some students work on cars or model airplanes or have other hobbies which involve science. They are getting a hands-on knowledge of scientific principles. These students may find that they want to expand their knowledge in the area of their interest. The guide at the historic site may want to learn more about history by studying what happened before and what has happened since the time in which the site played a part in history.
