Math Happenings:
Applied Algebra students are wrapping up their unit on Writing Linear Equations, while Advanced Math students are ending their trigonometry units. The Algebra 1 students are having fun with factoring which is a foundation skill needed for various other upcoming tasks. Our math team is gearing up for a competition at Trine University scheduled for Feb 16th. Good luck to all involved.
Mrs. Reiner's We the People class has been hard at work at preparing for the state competition next Friday. Currently, Ayersville is ranked third in the state and the class will hopefully come away with a trophy again. These students have become experts on Constitutional questions and taking positions and defending them.
