Man and Math Go Hand in Hand The Big Math Machine I W i C15 Brooks Hubbard and Mrs. Helen Purks ponder a Precalculus problem. C25 Theu love mathematics in the Middle School. C35 Using the computer, Jason Cohen and Mrs. Pam Coffield create geometric designs. C45 Tom Rickard nervouslu chews his pen as Mr. Bruan explains a problem. C55 Mr. Ethridge excels in I-1lgebra. Involvement In Math Hctivities Reaches New High This Year Involvement in math activities during the 1985-1986 school uear took a wide range of forms. F1 large selection of courses was offered from the eighth to the twelfth grades. Eighth Graders could choose Fllgebra I or fundamental math. Ninth Graders, if theu took Fllgebra I in eighth grade, took Geometru. However, those Eighth Graders who had not taken Hlgebra I experienced it in the ninth grade. Following Hlgebra I, all students take Geometru, then Hlgebra II, then Precalculus or f-llgebra III in the eleventh grade. Statistics, Math Topics, Precalculus, Hlgebra III, and HP Calculus were Senior electives. The courses offered in 1985-86 gave students a trulu mathological experience. This uear's extracurricular math activities were: Chl Fllpha Mu, Mu Fllpha Theta, the Math Club, the six GHML fGeorgia Mathematics Leaguey tests, the schoolwide intramural math contest, and VITH CVolunteer Income Tax Hssistanceb. Those students who participated in these extracurricular activities gained a broader knowledge of the math world. The Upper School mathematics teachers were: Pam Coffield, chairman of the Math Department, Jerru Bruan, lUindIe Mclienzie, Helen Purks, Robert Todd, and Chico Lunch. The Middle School math instructors were Carol Osteen and Clude Ethridge. Hs Pam Coffield said, the Math Department attemp- ted to give equal prioritu to both the enjoument of and achievement in mathematics. U David Garnett Math Department! 55
