NC Math I

21032X0

NC Math I provides students the opportunity to study traditional topics from algebra, geometry, and statistics in a problem-centered, connected approach. Students will be expected to describe and translate among graphic, algebraic, numeric, tabular and verbal representations of relationships and use those representations to solve problems. Appropriate technology, from manipulatives to calculators and application software, will be used regularly for instruction and assessment.

NC Math 4

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.

Discrete Mathematics for Computer Science

The purpose of this course is to introduce discrete structures that are the backbone of computer science. Discrete mathematics is the study of mathematical structures that are countable or otherwise distinct and separable. The mathematics of modern computer science is built almost entirely on discrete mathematics, such as logic, combinatorics, proof, and graph theory. At most universities, an undergraduate-level course in discrete mathematics is required for students who plan to pursue careers as computer programmers, software engineers, data scientists, security analysts and financial analysts. Students will be prepared for college level algebra, statistics, and discrete mathematics courses.

Honors Pre-Calculus

24035X0

Pre-Calculus is a course designed to develop the groundwork for further study of mathematics at the college level. The course includes topics from Advanced Algebra, Trigonometry, Analytic Geometry and Calculus. Throughout the course greater emphasis is placed on the theoretical aspect of mathematics than on its practical application. A strong background in Math II and III is needed.

Advanced Placement Statistics

25117X0

In Advanced Placement Statistics, the student is introduced to the major concepts and tools for collecting, analyzing, and drawing conclusions from data. The content for the course is centered on four broad conceptual themes: exploring data, sampling and experimentation, anticipating patterns, and statistical inference, and the student will make extensive use of the available technology. This course requires that students communicate effectively in both written and verbal forms, so it is highly recommended that each student have strong writing skills for written responses. This rigorous, yearlong course is designed to prepare highly motivated students for the Advanced Placement exam to earn credit for college statistics. Students should expect daily homework requiring up to one hour. All students will be required to take the Advanced Placement test in May. The cost of the exam will be paid by Asheboro City Schools.
