Ma h club adds up to uccess l Dorado had many exciting clubsg one of our great clubs was the Math Club. In the Math Club, members concen- trated their efforts on the Atlantic-Pacific Math Test which was taken several times a year. They met during testing days at lunch or after school in Mrs. Ford's or Ms. Payne's room where problems were performed on the chalkboard. Meetings were not only used to sharpen skills, but to find quicker methods to solve problems. The Math Club also had other competitions such as the Math Jeopardy. The Math Club acted as an extra-curricular study and source of competition for the peo- ple interested in mathematics. It was a chal- lenging club which needed dedication, and brains. sp iffwiimlulmil Teboho Nteso works rigorously at his math problem. The Math Club must have really sharpened his skills.
