1. THIS IS THE LAST WEEK FOR MONDAY AND TUESDAY Junior Varsity math afternoon clubs. The Varsity Math Club will not be meeting any more this month.
We introduced HP 33 calculator and the TI calculator to the students and practiced the correct procedure for entry of numbers. If interested in continuing over the summer, consider taking the calculator workshop offered at THE Village School for five days. Go to www.raidermath.weebly.com for more information and registration information. 2. This week in math club we will be discussing number sense rules. This is a topic that your student could attack this summer and return a champion in August. All involved in memorizing a number sense short cut and then applying it to a problem. Again, if interested, consider The Village School’s number sense five-day class.

Various locations such as The Village School, Star Learning and Art of Problem Solving are listed on our website www.raidermath.weebly.com. Invitations were handed out on Friday, May 2, based on performance at State TMSCA and participation in math competitions through the year. Any questions, please contact Mrs. Curtice LOOKING FOR CALCULATORS Please look through your student’s room, desk, etc. We have some missing HP Calculator as well as some TI calculators. Please check carefully. It is easy to bring one home from a competition and simply forget to return it that following Monday. Just return it – no questions – no penalties. These are expensive to replace. Thank you for your time. Mrs. Curtice Comments are closed.
