206 math Let's see, 1+1 is . . .?! thinks Ruth Ching. Mrs. Lloyd and Ms. Lloyd Jr. CLucy Chingb make plans for their next meeting. Iwi I l ,--if if-.s Playing the Numbers Game The Math Club gave students the opportunity to test their mathematical skills and compete with other schools. Contest teams were divided into two groups: number sense and calculator. In calculator, par- ticipants took a thirty-minute test consisting of various types of mathematical problems. Calculators were used to help arrive at an answer. In number sense, par- ticipants took a ten-minute test which also consisted of various types of mathematical problems. Number sense, unlike calculator, permitted no calculators or scratch paper. All computations were done in the head. Students spent long hours prac- ticing and learning short cuts to these tests. A great deal of time and effort went into preparing for com- petition, yet all ofthe hard work was not wasted. Members, like Ricky Livanec and Khol Nguyen, placed several times at district meets. The 1983-1984 Math Club proved to be the largest and most suc- cessful yet at MacArthur. The club consisted of twenty to twenty-five members. Each and every member par- ticipated in the group's fund raiser, selling little stuffed animals. With the money that was collected, the Math Club attended many non-district meets and had a very nice gathering at the end of the year. Sponsor Mrs. Lillie Lloyd, spent many hours devoted to tying up loose ends for the club. Lucy Ching, president, stated, Mrs. Lloyd made the Math Club what it is today. It wouldn't be the same without her. ' S. . T ' Qs. N if N I 4 I. .lt VM IA xt g ' s 6, .
