摘要

Steph zech graduated from high school this spring with an admirable academic record. She especially loved chemistry, writing and literature -though she has some reservations about Dante. A bright and diligent student, she took two Advanced Placement classes her senior year, sailing through both. But when it comes to math, Steph has struggled mightily. At age 17, she still counts on her fingers to add 3 and 5. She doesn't know her multiplication tables. She can't understand fractions, process concepts of time such as "quarter after" or read dice without counting the dots. She did recently figure out that if something costs 75 cents, the change from a dollar should be 25 cents. But when asked what the change would be if the price were 70 cents, she considers at length before venturing, "15 cents?"
