Math Team
Description: The Math Team gives students interested in math a chance to use their knowledge of numbers outside of the classroom. The Math Team has a Varsity and Junior Varsity component.
How to get involved: Contact Mr. Glenn Elliott and/or Barbara Leen and attend a meeting if you are interested.
Meeting Time(s): Tuesday @7:15am in Mr. Elliott's Room. Season runs from Sept. to April.
Advisors: Mr. Glenn Elliott and Ms. Barbara Leen
Events: Members matches are held once a month. Matches require an after school commitment of approximately 3 hours. An awards banquet at Xavier High School occurs at the end of the season in March or April.
Commitment/Expectations for attendance for meetings, practice(s), and/or event(s):
This club expects a minimal commitment from students (30 min - 1 hr/week). Students are encouraged to attend weekly morning meetings - if absent they should let the advisor know prior to the meeting. Sign-in occurs at meetings. If students are part of an athletics team or another club that requires a high commitment during one or more seasons, they may miss matches and recommence after that season is over.
A team member is designated as official or unofficial for each match but will compete. Should an "unofficial" member score higher than his/her classmate, he/she becomes official for the next match. To prepare for the match, each team member is given a study guide for self-preparation. Ms. Leen and Mr. Elliott are available to assist team members with the preparation packet on an individual or group basis.
