Mathematics students learn interesting new skills, facts Continued focus on various math concepts and interest in the vocational application of mathematical skills guided math teachers, with the assistance of Mrs. Mary Helen Acker, department head, through their program. General Mathematics I was designed to provide mathematics needed for day-by-day transactions. General Mathematics ll was a continuation of General Math I with several areas of mathematics added to it. Algebra, initiated in General Math l, was continued so that a student who finished General Math ll had an equivalent of a year in Algebra I. Sophomores who excelled in the area of mathematics took Algebra Il and geometry to enable them to take cal- culus in their senior year. Business math and economics, taught by Mr. Glenn Roaden, were on a level that pertained to the students' career after graduation. In business math emphasis was placed on savings, life insurance and investments. Economics was related to the American economy and bus- iness enterprises. Algebra I and ll were based upon simplifying algebraic expressions, polynomial equations, quadratic equations and elementary trigonometry. 1 - Laurie Clark and Tamah Hall demonstrate howto work a proof in geometry. 2 - Students in Algebra I begin their assignments. 3 - Renee Anders concentrates on a test in her math class. 4 - Geometry teacher Mrs. loyce Scott assists Lisa Elder with her assignments. 2 46 I Math JH:

Extensive math background essential in AP calculus studle Sixteen different math courses were offered in an at- tempt to meet everyone's needs. The courses ranged from basic math to A.P. Calculus. Basic math classes helped students to learn the fundamental concepts of math while calculus provided a challenge for the students who enioy math or plan to major in it at college. Calculus dealt with mechanical problems of moving situations and physics. A background in Algebra I, ll, trigonometry, and geometry is needed to excel in this course. Career mathematics, taught by Miss Elizabeth Winey was designed for those students needing ways to ac- complish mathematic processes and to learn the applica- tion of theories. Computer math was offered to juniors and seniors who had completed two years of math. The course was open to those students who were interested in learning and work- ing with computers. Advanced algebra and trigwas instructed by Coach Lynn Howard. Trig was taught from the unit circle standpoint. Advanced algebra worked with functional notation and emphasized graphing. , 2 I .3 Q -4 tw..-.I , , . . X if' ' T- P ' U 13' 1. -H. .. - ' ' 'X' ' Miss Barbara Felton I .
