Students in Angie Counts’ third/fifth/seventh-period math III classes present their second quarter honors project, ‘Pay it Forward’, Dec. 5-7.

Each math class honor students are challenged with more tasks than average students. This quarter, the assignment requires them to choose a subject the class has learned over the semester and reteach the theme to the rest of the class. Some of the units taught include combining polynomials, F.O.I.L. and factoring polynomials.

Nicole Wagoner says she enjoys doing math honors because she enjoys the extra push because she knows she is capable.

“For our project, we picked factoring cubic binomials because we remembered that it was easy enough to teach but hard enough that someone might not remember it,” Wagoner said. “We had a comprehensive step by step guide to the topic in our notes which helped us teach the lesson. I joined math honors because I knew I was capable of the extra work and it really helps to boost my GPA without too much extra cost.”

Next quarter Counts is bringing in a mathematician to come speak to the class, and the students are required to write a paper about his lecture.
