Proiectors were a device used by the show his math class problems that required further Math Department to add variety in teaching courses. Analytic geometry was offered for the first time by the Math Department to advanced students. There was a wide variety of additional classes ranging from basic math to college algebra and calculus. Data processing was also of- fered for those interested in computer math. Basic, average, high and college level classes gave students an opportunity to study within their own range of abilities. Algebra and plane geometry were re- quired to enter most colleges, although only two credits of mathematics were needed for graduation. Television was used as a visual aid. This method of teaching gave students an opportunity to acquire a better under- standing of the basic principles of mathematics. Team teaching was also utilized in first year algebra in order to use room space more efficiently. Reasoning ability was stressed in the three contests sponsored by the Mathe- matics Department. The Santa Clara Na- tional Math Examination, the Arizona State Math Test and the National Math Test were given to interested and qualified students.
