Students do virtual math

By GINA KINSLOW
Glasgow Daily Times

“I like taking the class,” he said. “It’s more challenging than the other class. You really got to study on this one.”

Earlier this week he was working on a unit that dealt with fractions.

The computer program keeps up with how well he is doing by displaying his grade on the screen, so he, too, can monitor his progress.

“We have a test on every section and we have quizzes,” he said. “I took the Chapter 3 test yesterday. I made 100. You can take quizzes twice and tests twice. You can take sample tests as many times as you want. They don’t count as great.”

Tori Buckley is also taking the class.

“It challenges me and it’s just fun,” she said.

So far, she says she has learned a lot.

“I learned a lot about negative numbers and that you really have to try hard and you have to study,” she said.

Jared Love and Carter Young had to take into consideration the amount of time the class required and whether or not it would interfere with football.

Both said trying to squeeze the classwork in around football practices and games was sometimes difficult, but agree they enjoy the class because they can work at their own pace.

While the school year is only half over, London is already considering at least four students who will be offered a chance to take the class next year.
