ThcG-15 (and friends) MATHEMATICS Perhaps the most exciting recent event in the Math Department has been the acquisition of a G-15 Computer. All Upper School students will learn to program and operate the machine. Computer programming has become part of every Upper School math class, and several Ijower School classes. Special Computer-Oriented Math Classes are being conducted for selected juniors and seniors. SMSG math is now being used in grades 4-10. Next year it will also lx? used in grade 11, and to a lesser extent in grade 12. The Minnemasi materials are now being used in Kindergarten and 1st grade. Next year the material will also be used in grade 2. The Minnemast project will move through the grades one year at a time, and will eventually replace the SMSG Math in the Lower School. The novelty of the “modern math has disappeared, but the faculty and students have retained their original excitement and interest. 26 Problems, problems, problems.
