Mathematics Instructing the mathematicians of the future is the task of the teachers in Henry High's Math Department. General math is required in the junior high grades, and in senior high two credits of higher math are needed for graduation. Algebra and geometry are offered throughout the senior high years. Once these pre-requisites have been taken, students can go on to advanced algebra, trigonometry, and solid geometry. The construction of geometrical models is the project of the geometry closses. The trigonometry classes specialize in three dimensional figures while spheres and planes demand the attention of the solid geometry students. Special interest projects make math more appealing to the high school student and spur him on to further study. Mr. Arthur Anderson, who is cholrmon of the science deportment, teaches phy to.
