Math! Who says it has to be boring? Miss McCormack stressed the practical side of math to her general math students. They learned to apply the basics of math to their everyday lives by doing comparative shopping and making bank deposits. One day the students were averaging the ages of the whole class. Naturally, everyone wanted to know Miss McCor- mack ' s age. Some of the boys earned a few brownie points when they told her that she didn ' t look a day over 30. In geometry, Mr. Jared used the overhead projector to go over homework problems and exp;ain new material. Once in a while he ' d bring in the computer to demonstrate the solu- tions to some of the proofs on the homework assignments. This helped to break up the dally routine. Mr. Jared also assigned logic problems. This allowed students to think things out the way they did when they solved proofs.q; Ax- isms, properties, and solving equations were the primary concerns of Mrs. Fletcher ' s Algebra classes. During 4th hour, when problem solving began to get confusing, conversations often turned to the prospect of lunch. Beth Burks was con- stantly keeping tabs on the menu of the day. Mrs. Fletcher used the computer to do the computer pro- grams in each chapter of the book. Students also had the opportunity to obtain extra credit by solving The Problem of the Week . Math — it can be frustrating at times, but for the under- classmen, at least it wasn ' t Boring! . 76 general math
