Master Minds Make Math Memories Algebra I started off easy with equations, according to freshman Jim Tirey. The year got harder for the freshmen when they began doing FOIL. The students studied ine- qualities, circumference and radius, and square root. The geometry students found class harder with proofs and theorems for half of the year. With Mrs. Carlson's help, the class worked on graphs and geometric shapes. It was hard work, but it was enjoyable,” commented sophomore Tricia Foster. Mrs. Carlson also taught trigonometry to two students at dif- ferent times. It's a lot harder than algebra, said Shelley Greenfield, senior. Learning trigonometric figures made the students really think but algebraic functions were easy. Mrs. Sims taught FOM I and II. They studied fractions, multiplying and dividing, and decimals. Most of the Algebra I students think solving equations is hard and so is the homework. Marty Middleton takes one last look at his homework before he turns it in. In 7th grade computer literacy Mandy Stevens, Peggy Hartman, Laura Alex- ander, and Marc Bonds study their worksheets which explain the intricacies of computer programming. 12 ACADEMICS

FOM class listens to the explanation of the Pythagorean theorem before attempting homework. First period geometry waits for the bell after a unit test on proofs. Understanding trig identities is tough.' says Mace Middleton, junior trig student, especially when you are the only student in the class. % Aerial Spraying • Fertilizer NORTH HWY 87 • PHONE 995-2708 • TULIA, TEXAS 79088
