Yesterday and Today From people of yesterday to places of today, there was a lot of material covered in Social Studies 9. The class was introduced last year as another elective for high school students. The class is really helpful and useful, as a college prep course. That's one reason I took this class, remarked Angie Miller. The class, taught by Mr. Mike Brock, was a general social studies class which covered all the main points of World and U.S. History, and Government Sociology, plus anthropology, geography and study skills. The most interesting subjects are being saved for the end of the year. These subjects are psychology and sociology. I think these will go over best because of the simulation games and some experiments planned for them, stated Mr. Brock. We touch base with all of the high school classes dealing with social studies and history so the students can get a better look at each one, commented Mr. Brock. A social studies or history class of any kind is there to help students understand society and the government. So that they can become better individuals in their own society and government. Eighth graders Doug Bowers, Jackie Tanner and Shelly Tatman sing On the Banks of the Wabash for extra credit in Indiana History. It was added to the curriculum to meet state requirements and to provide the students with an in-depth look at the history of our state.

Fun With Numbers There's more to math than just problems. I try to show my students exactly why we need to multiply, divide, add, or subtract instead of just saying work these problems, said Miss Darla Davis, the General Math II teacher. I want them to see that numbers are important for managing money, working with taxes, and working in almost any job. The math teachers have tried to use different methods to instill their students with the basics of math. I have tried to use number puzzles or number games in class once in a while to get the kids to really think about how interesting math can really be, stated Mr. Matt Nussbaum. Many times I have tried to do projects involving managing money. I have set up everyday situations where students receive a checkbook and bills based on their income, replied Miss Davis. By teaching with new methodology, the teachers tried to show the importance of math. Everyone uses mathematics everyday in their life. Many jobs include problem solving which is an important aspect of math skills, stated Miss Davis. 26 Math Mrs. Bennett takes time to give personal help to Scott Mings, one of her Geometry students. Besides her help, the students are also offered student tutors, a system set up by the National Honor Society. Mike Nading completes his assignment concerning percentage rates in Pre-Algebra class. Pre-Algebra consists of basic math skills, including the multiplication of fractions and solving equations. Steve Coffee, Brian Sexton, and Jennifer Frederickson, students in Mr. Nussbaum's fourth period seventh grade math class, await a problem involving multiplication. Mr. Nussbaum tries to teach his students basic math skills by having board races.
