Mathematics Department Behind JoAnne DiPietro is shown the Elliptical Board Compass. Glenda Short is shown with the Trigtracker. MARION HIGH MATH LABORATORY Marion Senior High School is one of the few schools in the state which has a math laboratory. The math lab is a room which incorporates a totally new concept in furniture. It combines both functional purpose and beauty. More problems can be worked in less time, and more important, the student feels a degree of manipulative skill in the heretofore un- appealing task of using math tables. This room also contains an overhead projector, projection models, various solid metals, a device for measurement of inscribed and central angles, a slated globe for spherical trig, metal Compasses for the board, magnetic T-squares, triangles, and protractors. However, such a modern lab, cannot insure mathematical success or comprehension to every student. Many factors make for understanding of mathematics concepts such as self-initiative good teaching, motivation, and others. The Marion Senior High students do have the many devices needed for understanding and computing skill if they will take advantage of the opportunity. MRS. HELEN CAGLE, B.Ed., M.A. MRS. ALICE MANN, B.Ed., M.S. The large sloped por- tion of the desk has the tables of common loga- rithms, natural func- tions, logarithms of trig- onemetric functions, and proportional parts lam- inated to the top. The log and trig top com- pletely eliminates the waste of time and effort in tuming to the back of the book. The small flat portion of the desk includes squares and square roots, cubes and cube roots, common area and volume formulas from plane and solid geometry, and the Greek alphabet. J 23
