School Guidance Counselor

School guidance counselors plan academic programs and the best courses to take to achieve their educational goals. Counselors often meet with students to discuss the life skills needed for personal and social growth. To prepare for this career, guidance counselors take classes in an area of mathematics called statistics, where they learn how to collect, analyze, explain, and present data.

In Problem 109 of Study Set 3.4, you will see how a counselor must be able to add fractions to better understand a graph that shows students’ study habits.
