My cZf! No Problem The Math Club is an academic club which focuses on increasing the students' mathematical capabilities. Meeting each Wednesday during lunch, the club spends the hour working through various mathematical equations. The degree of difficulty of each problem varies from beginning levels of algebra to trigonometry. The thirty-four members at- tended the meeting to take advantage of the opportunity to practice math. Many of them are currently enrolled in difficult math classes, and the extra math ex- posure they receive from the club has helped them to better both their grades and their overall ability to complete math problems. Not only does the Math Club benefit student mathematical achievements, but it has proven beneficial to SAT, PSAT and ACH test takers. Many of the problems that the club members work through have appearedon the tests, and they note recognizing such problems. The club's advisor, Mr. Flogers, has successfully led the Math Club to high achievements. This year Laguna Hills, Math Club competed in state and nation-wide contests by scoring exceptionally well on math exams. They have competed against other schools in the district, state, and even country. The Math Club has helped me to do better in Math Analysis. Mr. Rogers gives us prob- lems to work out, and after we have time to complete them, he goes over the solu- tion. This helps us to learn new problems as well as review past concepts, said Kim French, one Math Club member.
