I am excited to announce the Upper School Mathematics Students of the Trimester – Spring\u00a02017!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Each math faculty member was free to choose whichever student of theirs they thought best exemplified what they are looking for in a model mathematics student. The official description of the award is as follows:<\/p>\n

“Awarded to students who exemplify the math department\u2019s core values of competence, confidence, and perseverance while helping their peers realize the relevance and importance of an\u00a0exceptional mathematical education both for its beauty and for its practical application.”<\/em><\/p>\n

The following students have been recognized as the Upper School Mathematics Students of the Trimester for Spring\u00a02017.<\/p>\n

Please join me in congratulating these outstanding mathematics students!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>Ethan Huang<\/strong> – Ethan is a very curious math student. He is always interested in fully understanding the concepts behind a problem rather than just knowing how to solve the problem. Ethan also is also always eager to help others understand the material as well as he does.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"\"<\/a>Kohmei Kadoya <\/strong>– Kohmei’s work in the Electronics, Circuitry & Programming course was exceptional. He was well prepared for each class and asked probing questions on topics that required clarity. Kohmei’s classwork in the electronic’s labs and circuit labs was outstanding and included many well thought-out answers and observations. Congratulations to Kohmei for his fine work in this class!
\n<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"\"<\/a>Caitlin Keefe<\/strong> – Caitlin did a wonderful job pulling together all of the material that we covered this year. Her average in the third trimester was a full five points higher than she had earned for T1 & T2 – when she already did well! The questions that Caitlin asked and her overall participation set a high level of expectation for her classmates. Very well done – especially for senior spring!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"\"<\/a>Oliver Lawrence <\/strong><\/strong>– Beyond excelling mathematically in pre-calculus, Oliver came to be a leader in the classroom. He could always be counted on to posit an answer to a challenging question or to come up to the board to present a solution. Moreover, Oliver often went out of his way to explain topics to his peers, both in the math classroom and outside the classroom. His patience and dedication to helping his classmates was a great boon for our class.
\n<\/strong><\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"\"<\/a>Fin MacDonald<\/strong> – Fin was not only a hardworking student but he also showed a genuine interest in Geometry. He looked at the material in depth every day and always pushed himself and others to do the same.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"\"<\/a>Nat Markey<\/strong> – Nat works incredibly hard in and out of the classroom to master the material taught. He is helpful to those around him and is always willing to participate in class. He is an incredible student and friend to his classmates.
\n<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"\"<\/a>Anna Moran<\/strong> – Anna has just completed a fantastic year in Geometry. She is a diligent student who always strives to be her best. She has a natural enthusiasm for learning and she challenges herself to deeply understand each and every concept. Anna has been a class leader in terms of participation and the energy and enthusiasm she brings to the classroom is contagious. Well done, Anna!!!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"\"<\/a>Yana Pyryalina<\/strong> – Yana did an exceptional job this year as a student in Advanced Programming in Java. Her dedication, excitement, and enthusiasm for coding shined through in all aspects of her engagement with the course. She worked hard to understand the concepts. participated in our conversations deeply and fully, and shared her “aha” moments openly with her classmates in ways that demonstrated her generosity as well as her curiosity. She was also an excellent group member and shared her expertise both in class and out.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"\"<\/a>Erika Sasaki<\/strong> – Erika did a phenomenal job at stepping up this trimester! Her work remained remarkably consistent and she did an impressive job helping her classmates as we transitioned into the world of Origami. He careful explanations, patience, and folding technique were appreciated by everyone. Origami is very hard to teach and Erika made the whole process easier! Thank you Erika!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"\"<\/a>Ter Sawatyanon<\/strong> – T did a great job in TPS this year. He was the only 9th grader in a predominantly Junior and Senior class. This term, we did a major data analysis and T chose to study health and wealth of selected countries of the World. He worked very hard and discovered interesting insights which he was able to articulate clearly in his final presentation. Great work, T!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"\"<\/a>Molly Solan <\/strong>– Molly is always engaged and eager to learn every class. She patiently works with all member of the class and brilliantly explains her own solutions with ease. She has performed remarkably all year and is a model Williston student. Molly brings passion and a sense of humor into the classroom and any teacher would be lucky to have her in class.
\n<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"\"<\/a>Risa Tapanes<\/strong> – Risa has been so diligent all year. She always does the homework; she sits at the front of the room; she asks questions; she seeks help as soon as she doesn’t understand a concept. She had a lot of success with descriptive statistics this spring, and I so enjoyed working with her. I was particularly impressed when she emailed me two days before the play (for which she was stagemanaging) to tell me that she had worked for half an hour on the homework assignment between scenes but just had not been able to get it all done. She was so apologetic, but I was just amazed she had been able to get started on it at all, given her schedule that week.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
