Higher scores on both departmental and statl math exams indicate that the department is ap proaching these goals. While other departments adjusted their curricula to include the use of computers, the Math Depart ment moved beyond basic computer usage, which i has taught for some time, into advanced compute math. Math teachers know that computers becoml useful tools in mathematics only when the fundamen tal concepts of math are understood. This understan ding results from the repetition which comes with ap plying knowledge to problem solving. And so, thi majority of classtime and homework is still spent put ting pencil to paper and figuring out the answer. Students in Mrs. Morse's sixth period Algebra ll Class work ol .quadratic equations.
