Math Activities at WHS
On October 17, 2006 we had our Grade 11 Math Fair - a large exposition of
independent study projects by Grade 11 students. This year we had a number of
visiting math teachers and administrators from other high schools in the district.
Five awards of $40.00 each were presented to Thomas Kelly and Tom Creagh,
Bethany MacFarlane and Jake Taylor, Aaron Bell and Josh Pickard, Teshia Sears
and Emily Furrow.
The Atlantic Pacific Math Competition is a series of six competitions held
over the school year. This year we had 44 students from all grades participating in
the competition, with High Achievement certificates presented to twenty-five
students.
Our Math Club for 2006/07 consisted of a group of six Grade 11 students.
They participated in the Fermat, Hypatia, and Euclid math competitions that are
coordinated through the University of Waterloo. Samantha Simonds and Julie
Moore both received awards and certificates for their high results.
The New Brunswick Math Competition (coordinated by the University of
New Brunswick) was held May 11, 2007. This year nine Grade 9 students
participated in the competition. Students were able to meet with others from
around the province and also participate in a number of math related workshops.
Aaron Bell will be participating in Shad Valley this summer. Shad Valley is a
four week summer enrichment program. With a focus that includes the sciences,
technology and entrepreneurship, the program provides an academically
stimulating, mind expanding adventure for top, well-rounded students.
This spring we had four Grade 12 students write the Advanced Placement
Calculus exam. Results will be available later in the summer. Students who are
successful on this exam are able to waive their introductory university calculus
course.
Mrs. Pauley received a Smart Board and associated technologies this year.
She and her students are excited and enthusiastic about the new possibilities this
equipment will bring to math classes.
Mrs. Pauley, Mr. Tompkins, Mr. Liston and Mr. Hemphill were awarded a
$1000 math enrichment grant focusing on Coordinate Geometry in Grades 9 and
10. This money is being used to purchase software, equipment and learning
resources.
