The Mu Alpha Theta Honor Society organization was formed in our school to spark and develop interest in mathematics as well as to provide service to our school and community. The society is officially a National High School and a Two-Year College Mathematics Honor Society, therefore we must follow the national rules and regulations already set. However, we will still be making independent decisions about rules and activities.
Eligibility Requirements: Completed or enrolled in Algebra 2 At least an overall GPA of 3.0 At least a math GPA of 3.5 Application Process: Fill out the Mu Alpha Theta application you've received during the interest meeting. Obtain a teacher recommendation (second page of the application.) Your teacher will turn in your recommendation for you. Obtain your unofficial transcript from the counselors office. Must return application form to Ms. Wiggins Friday, September 15th in room 123 by the end of the day. Monthly Meetings: Members are expected to attend all monthly meetings. If you will not be able to attend a meeting, please contact Ms. Wiggins or Ms. Payne at least 24 hours in advance. Service Hours: Members must earn 18 hours total for the school year. There are two categories for hours: tutoring and service. Tutoring hours require members to come in during math lab, or tutor before or afterschool. Service hours can be obtained through volunteering in various MAT activities including math competitions. Hours must be signed off by a BRHS staff member. Hours cannot be overlapped with hours for other clubs. First semester requires 8 hours total. At least 6 hours of peer tutoring. Second semester requires 10 hours total, at least 8 hours peer tutoring. Math Lab: Members receive hours by the total amount of time a member stays in Math Lab. For example, let's say a student stays in Math Lab for 90 minutes, Even if no students come in for help, the member will still be credited 1.5 hours of tutoring. Special Activities: Math Lab Tutoring Mu Alpha Theta National Mathematics Contest Competitions Pi Day Activities Math Education Month (April) Other activities to be decided upon by the club membership Acceptance: Acceptance letters will be handed out on Friday, September 22.
