WCHS Mathematics Department Updates
Mathematics at WCHS is off to a great start. For 2025-26 we are welcoming three new teachers to our team:
- Miss Cheyenne Clouse who is teaching Algebra I and Geometry
- Mrs. Samantha Miner who is teaching Geometry and Algebra II CP
- Mrs. Somreeta Roy who is teaching Algebra I and Analytical Algebra II
The Mathematics department strives to help all students reach their potential while becoming mathematically literate in the process. Courses in Algebra I, Algebra II, Geometry, Pre-Calculus & Trigonometry all prepare students for success on exams such as the PSAT, SAT, ASVAB, etc.
Our upper level courses offer students the opportunity to earn dual credit through Indiana University South Bend or Purdue University Fort Wayne. These courses are Finite Math, Quantitative Reasoning, AP Calculus AB (Calculus I), AP Calculus BC (Calculus II), and AP Statistics.
Classroom Activities
Quarter 3: The weekend of February 28 & March 1, three teams of upperclassmen students participated in the Mathworks Math Modeling (M3) Challenge. This is a highly respected national competition that asks high school students to apply advanced mathematics to real-world problems.
Over the course of an intense 14-hour period, students must analyze a complex, open-ended issue, develop mathematical models, interpret data, and clearly communicate their findings in a professional technical paper. This is a demanding but authentic experience that mirrors the work of practicing mathematicians, engineers, and data scientists.
Our teams worked independently at three different locations and submitted quality work at the end of their 14-hour work window. We await the results to see it any of our teams will be named finalists and earn a trip to NYC for the final round.
Quarter 2: On November 5th, 29 juniors and seniors took part in the AMC 12 Mathematics competition. The AMC 12 is sponsored by the Mathematics Association of America. Students attempted up to 5 problems in 75 minutes. Our top scorers were seniors Preston Park, Griffin Williman, and Ian Parrott.
Quarter 1: As a capstone project to a series of lessons on graphing and writing equations of lines, students in taking Honors Geometry (Mrs. Wright and Mr. Wiebe) learned how to use the DESMOS graphing calculator app and create pictures made up of line segments. Students had to write and enter equations into the graphing app in order to create the images.
