Option 1: Math Team's Lunchtime Math Competitions

Mu Alpha Theta members can participate in Math Team’s lunchtime contests for 30 minutes of credit per lunchtime in S50 to fulfill the quarterly service/participation requirement. You must turn in your test before your time is up or it will not be accepted. You must be in room S50 within the first 7 minutes of lunch and stay until 5 minutes before lunch ends. This contest is on a first-come first-serve basis. Your service/verification credit will be posted on the Service/Participation Log within 5 days.

Option 2: Help a Math Teacher

Mu Alpha Theta members can help a MATH teacher with various tasks during a scheduled time to fulfill the required service/participation  (Reminder: 2 lunchtimes = 1 hour). You must independently schedule a time with a math teacher, without disrupting class time. Any scores or grades seen while helping a teacher must remain confidential. You will NOT receive credit for helping a computer science teacher or family member. 

Option 3: Lunchtime Project Workshop

Mu Alpha Theta members can participate in Mu Alpha Theta’s lunchtime workshops for 30 minutes of credit per lunchtime in S50 to fulfill the quarterly service/participation requirement. You must be in room S50 within the first 7 minutes of lunch and stay until 5 minutes before lunch ends. Workshop materials are on a first-come first-serve basis. Your service/verification credit will be posted on the Service/Participation Log within 5 days. 

Please note that project workshops are not guaranteed to be provided every quarter.
