Eighth grade students learn some basic computer literacy. Students in Algebra 1 have a two week unit at the end of the year studying the BASIC language and learning a few programming techniques. Advanced algebra pupils practice writing programs and learn to do quadratic equations on the computer. A program to do homework problems is written by students in senior math. “1 gave them their assignment and they had to write a program that would solve all the problems,” stated teacher Mrs. Lois Bennett.
