Math Happenings

All of the seventh grade classes have been working on ISAT review packets. The ISAT test will be administered the first week in March. This is a very important test and the results will be placed in the student's permanent record. Both the students and I will be happy when they are over.

On February 8th many of our students participated in a presentation given by math whiz Mike Byster. Mike has been featured on ABC's news magazine 20/20 and he had to leave Lincoln Hall early as he was being interviewed by People magazine. His premise is that if a student can improve his/her memory and following directions skills, that student will be more successful in school. His math "tricks" are all based on finding and utilizing patterns. The students were truly amazed by his presentation and would have liked him to stay longer.
