This class attempts to broaden the mathematical horizon of these students by extending normal classroom subjects and by exploring subjects, such as the Numbers Theory, not usually taught in high school math courses. It also teaches the students to make quick, accurate decisions while Working under pressure, an important factor in test-taking. One of the most important events of the year for Math Team was the Na- tional High School Mathematics Con- test. Other activities of the Math Team included participation in the Creighton Mathematics Field Day and the Intra- City Math Contest, in which Central placed second. Team Now let's see.
