A wide variety of mathe- matical subiects provides Center Grove students with a diversified curriculum. These subiects include algebra, advanced algebra, plane geometry, general mathe- matics, business arithmetic, and college mathematics.

These students are planning careers centered around mathematics. Pupils in geometry, algebra, and college math obtain extra credit through the construction of mathe- matical projects.

Students in her classes work on special problems on mimeographed sheets which are distributed each day. Other math teachers include Mr. Legan, Mr. Sloop, Mr. Steward, and Mr. Robey.
