Mathematics Department
Students in Honors Pre-calculus took on the role of air traffic controllers, determining the flight plan (bearing & flying distance) for the pilots located in the gymnasium. Once the pilots successfully navigated to their destination cities, they worked together as a team to solve problems involving trigonometry. The pilots here are (L to R) NASH students Ryan, Emma, & Mohit.
