Grouping Method Used in Math Department Grouping techniques were used this year for the first time in math classes. Offered to first year algebra students, the new method enabled teachers to group students according to their ability. Modern math was emphasized. New books included the Basic Math, General Math and First Year Algebra textbooks. College preparatory math was presented for the first time. This course centered around the theory of economics. Each year the Mathematics Department sponsors three con- tests. The importance of reasoning ability rather than achieve- ment was emphasized in the Santa Clara National Math Examination. Also given were the National Math, as well as the Arizona State Math Tests. Two credits of mathematics were required for students to graduate. Algebra and plane geometry were mandatory for college entrance. College algebra, trigonometry, calculus and data processing were the advanced courses offered for those students wishing to obtain a degree in a special field. Junior Rick Riddle concentrated on a test in second year Algebra and Trig- onometry. Comprehension and mathematical ability are essential in this course. ...,.., T . . ,WM Q sf.
