NC MATH I – HONORS - Course Code: 21095X0C

NC Math 1 includes the study of linear, exponential, and quadratic functions; extending from the work in middle school where proportional reasoning skills were emphasized along with an introduction of the concept of a function. NC Math 1 students apply and extend their understandings of functions from grade 8 to the formal definition of a function and the use of function notation when expressing functions symbolically. The Algebra, Geometry and Statistics & Probability standards also support the study of functions in NC Math 1. Students will: Interpret the structure of expressions; Create equations that describe numbers or relationships; Solve systems of equations; Represent and solve equations and inequalities graphically; Interpret functions that arise in applications in terms of the context; Analyze functions using different representations; Use coordinates to prove simple geometric theorems algebraically; and summarize, represent, and interpret data on a single count or measurement variable. All students are required to take Math 1 End-Of-Course test.

In NC Math 2, quadratic, square root and inverse variation function families are added to the study of functions along with the more complex algebra skills to support working with more advanced algebraic expressions. NC Math 2 is also where students begin to apply transformational geometry learned in the middle grades to the study of functions. Geometric reasoning and proof are also emphasized in NC Math 2 as students focus on the study of triangles and their relationship to other planar figures. Students will: Use properties of rational and irrational numbers; Defining complex numbers; Understand solving equations as a process of reasoning and explain the reasoning; Analyze functions using different representations; Experiment with transformations in the plane; Understand congruence in terms of rigid motions; Understand similarity in terms of similarity transformations; Define trigonometric ratios and solve problems involving right triangles; Understand independence and conditional probability and use them to interpret data; and Use the rules of probability to compute probabilities of compound events in a uniform probability model.

NC MATH IV – HONORS- Course Code: 24095X0C

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.
