Mathematics

Recommended: students scoring below level 3 on the 8th grade EOG mathematics test.
Course Description: This course is designed to introduce students to Math I concepts. Topics covered include the study of integers, linear equations, inequalities, and polynomials. Any student who does not make a proficient score on the eighth grade EOG test MUST take this course. Any student who feels insecure about Math I MAY take this course. Students earn one elective credit toward graduation but must take Math I to meet the state requirement for Math I.

Course Description: NC Math 1 provides students the opportunity to study concepts of algebra, geometry, functions, numbers and operations, statistics and modeling throughout the course. These concepts include expressions in the real number system, creating and reasoning with equations and inequalities, interpreting and building simple functions, expressing geometric properties and interpreting categorical and quantitative data. The state EOC test is required and will count as 20% of the final grade.

Prerequisites: NC Math 1
Course Description:  NC Math 2 continues a progression of the standards established in NC Math 1. In addition to these standards, NC Math 2 includes: polynomials, congruence and similarity of figures, trigonometry with triangles, modeling with geometry, probability, making inferences and justify conclusions.

Prerequisites: NC Math 2 or NC Math 2 Honors
Course Description: NC Math 3 progresses from the standards learned in NC Math 1 and NC Math 2. In addition to these standards, NC Math 3 extends to include algebraic concepts such as: the complex number system, inverse functions, trigonometric functions and the unit circle. Math III also includes the geometric concepts of conics and circles. The state EOC test is required and will count as 20% of the final grade.

Prerequisites: NC Math 3 or NC Math 3 Honors
Course Description:  The primary focus of this course is on functions and statistical thinking, continuing the study of algebra, functions, trigonometry and statistical concepts previously experienced in NC Math 1-3. The course is designed to be a capstone to introductory statistical concepts. Additionally, the course intentionally integrates concepts from algebra and functions to demonstrate the close relationship between algebraic reasoning as applied to the characteristics and behaviors of more complex functions. In many cases, undergraduate students majoring in non-STEM fields will take an entry-level Algebra or Introductory Statistics course. Students will be prepared for college level algebra and statistics or as a bridge to prepare students for Precalculus or other advanced math courses.
