At Pleasant Lea Junior High the math department consists of many levels. Nine teachers divide all stu- dents into different levels according to each individual's ability. Students are encouraged to work at their own pace and can advance only when they have obtained one hundred per- cent in their material. The highest level that can be achieved is Level 21. This level includes pre-algebra and algebra 1. This class is geared towards preparing a student for ad- vanced math courses in high school. During the year there are many math contests which are held during school. Any student can participate. Awards are given for the highest scores in the contests at the end of the year in the Awards Assembly. N K fi 3 S 2, QW! f 'x ff .,3,, w f l rglqifi .
