Futures shows how math relates to the working world—to careers and jobs. Starring Los Angeles teacher Jaime Escalante and his students, Futures captures Escalante’s innovative teaching style (as profiled in Stand and Deliver) and demonstrates that students are better motivated when they can connect today’s schoolwork to what they will be doing in the future.
