Mr. Roger Haug
Years at St. Mary’s: 25 years from 1962 to 1987. Third year back in the math dept.
Post-Secondary Educational history
B.S. in Math & Physical Education with a minor in Biology from Dickinson State College.
Masters in Math from the University of Montana.
Additional Graduated degree in Administration from University of Mary
Courses taught:
AP Calculus: This course is primarily concerned with developing the students’ understanding of the concepts of calculus and providing experience with its applications. This course emphasizes a multi-representational approach to calculus, with concepts, results, and problems being expressed graphically, numerically, analytically, and verbally.

Miss Marilyn Miller
Years at St. Mary’s: 16
Post-Secondary Educational History:
Bachelor of Science from University of Mary.
Courses taught:
Unified Math: An introduction of Geometry in an integrated program. The main emphasis is bridging the gap between Algebra 1 and Geometry; this is accomplished by a review of algebraic topics while including the basic concepts of Geometry

Ms. Brittany Halvorson
Years at St. Mary’s: 5
Post-Secondary Educational history:
Graduate from the University of Mary with a B.A. in Math Education
Courses taught:
Pre-Algebra: Pre-Algebra provides the foundation in algebra, geometry, and problem solving that is need for success in more advanced courses. The presentation of key concepts and challenging problem-solving practice prepares students for algebra courses. The concepts covered include variables, expressions, integers, solving multi-step equations and inequalities, fractions, exponents, ratios and proportions, probability, percents, linear functions, right triangles, measurement, area, volume, and data analysis.
Algebra 2: Algebra 2 uses reasoning and logic to solve problems using linear, quadratic, polynomial, radical, rational, and exponential functions, linear systems and matrices, conic sections, and probability.
Other Responsibilities

Mr. Reid Flaagan
Years at St. Mary’s: 3
Post-Secondary Educational history: B.S. in Education from Mayville State University
Courses taught:
Pre-Calculus: Pre-Calculus is a course designed to provide a strong foundation of pre-calculus concepts and applications, including trigonometry. This course prepares students for advanced study in mathematics.
Algebra I: Through Algebra 1, students make the transition from concrete to more abstract reasoning. Algebra 1 is based on the field properties of the real numbers. Concepts discussed include solving and graphing linear equations and inequalities, solving systems of linear equations and inequalities, operations involving polynomials, and an introduction to quadratics. This course will be taught using drill and practice, applications and communication activities.
Miss Rachel Zillmer
Years at St. Mary’s: 2
Post-Secondary Education History: B.A. in Math Education from the University of Mary.
Courses taught:
Geometry: Through geometry the students will learn to develop their mathematics skills through geometric principles, mathematical properties and vocabulary involving proofs. The topics covered are; reasoning, perpendicular and parallel lines, congruent triangles, properties of triangles, quadrilaterals, transformations, similarity, right triangles, trigonometry, circles, area of polygons and circles, surface area and volume, as well as other geometric topics as time permits.
College Algebra: College Algebra represents an opportunity to discover the beauty and practical power of mathematics. The technical skills of college algebra as well as an understanding of the concepts that underlie the subject are taught. Topics are presented geometrically, numerically, algebraically, and verbally. Topics studied include polynomial, rational, exponential, and logarithmic functions; inequalities; non-linear systems of equations complex numbers; and probability.
