TEAQLWZMQSANNINU 5 - T5 The math courses offered this past year ranged from General Math to Calculus and from Business Math to Computer Math. This wide margin not only allowed stu- dents to take courses required for gradua- tion, but also allowed them to take courses that would aid them in future schooling or in a career. These GENTS You Can Count On Us classes were often beneficial to students when making impor- tant career decisions. The math depart- ment was headed by Mrs. Penny Edwards. The department dedicated time and energy in furthering our knowledge of math and its many fields. In addition to the regulars of the math department, many new faces were seen in and around the math hall. Work- ing together, the math department helped set a strong foundation in math for the students' future. 5022 is Top right Mrs Penny Edwards math Mag department head Middle left Ann Thle AVSGDIO Trlvln Paul Israel and jack Tillman Middle right David Morgan Ervin Hart and Adrian Rhodes discussed the days plans Bottom Terry Roberts Pam Allison and Charles Perdomo 20fAdministration: Math TEACHERS AREA Gif U i

Tests have always brought a feeling of dread to students, and this pastyear was no exception. The first part of the year in the math depart- ment was devoted to reviewing for state tests. In addition to the state tests, stu- dents had to study for: nine week exams, semester exams, and final exams. For freshmen 1-2-3 . . . Testing and sophomore classes, teachers reviewed the CTBS Scholastic Test. For juniors, teachers reviewed two separate tests. The required test for juniors was the state assessment test.
