"M.A.T." Service Hours
"M.A.T." Service Hours
Mu Alpha Theta (M.A.T.) is a prestigious national organization. As such, we must hold ourselves up to certain standards set by our chapter in order to do our part within the academic community. All members are required to complete three (3) M.A.T. hours before April of your senior year, in addition to your math lab hours.
Please note that M.A.T. hour opportunities are only those announced and/or approved by our advisors Ms. Reynolds and Mrs. Nadell. Any out-of-school or non-math-related hours will not be accepted. Keep an eye out for our announcements throughout the year; you should NOT go looking for your own community service to fulfill this requirement- it will not be approved.
Examples of M.A.T. Hours from previous years:
bake sales
candy sales
making posters/fliers for bake sales
designing/editing our Site
math newsletter committees
baking for fundraising
Tutoring at school (unpaid & outside of math lab)
Members who fail to complete their M.A.T. hours will be at risk of having membership revoked, as well as their Mu Alpha Theta graduation cord.
MATH LAB
MATH LAB
As a member of the Mu Alpha Theta Honor Society you are required to set an example and contribute to our Academic Community. One of the ways our organization accomplishes this in the high school is through Math Lab. Our Honor Society members volunteer after school to help tutor and guide peers in math.
In order to maintain your membership and receive a Mu Alpha Theta graduation cord, you must volunteer at 4 Math Labs: One (1) during Quarter 4 after being inducted as a Junior, and three (3) during your senior year (plan one per quarter, excluding fourth quarter senior year).
Math lab is supervised by Mr. Rogers & Mr. Inhaber. They are there to help if you need assistance while tutoring math lab students. Math Lab takes place period 9 in room 205 every Monday and Wednesday. Tutors are expected to:
circulate the room, helping students as needed
be a bit "pushy"!! Many times students are afraid to ask for help.
collaborate with other tutors if there is a concept/topic/problem you feel unsure about
show up on time (2:15)
stay the entire period

Application deadline: CLOSED; will open again Spring 2027 February 24th 2026 (NOTE-- THIS IS A FEW DAYS EARLIER THAN THE OTHER HONOR SOCIETIES!! The reason for this is that our national membership fees must be turned in by a certain date in order to register you all nationally. )
