AVID 9/10  AVID stands for Advancement Via Individual Determination and is a national program designed to give students the academic and social skills they need to be successful in school, college, and beyond. We are very excited to offer AVID to all freshmen at LEC, as this course will help orient them to the LEC culture.  For AVID elective, we will be mostly focused on career discovery. You can expect to have more speaking and writing requirements than last semester, since those skills will be most useful to you in your college classes

The Mathematics II course focuses on quadratic expressions, equations, and functions and on comparing the characteristics and behavior of these expressions, equations, and functions to those of linear and exponential relationships from Mathematics I. The need for extending the set of rational numbers arises, and students are introduced to real and complex numbers. Links between probability and data are explored through conditional probability and counting methods and involve the use of probability and data in making and evaluating decisions. The study of similarity leads to an understanding of right-triangle trigonometry and connects to quadratics through Pythagorean relationships. 

Math III is the third math course in the North Carolina High School Math Graduation Requirement Sequence.  Math 3 students study piecewise, polynomial, rational, and sinusoidal functions.  Geometric units focus on circles and their properties and modeling with 2D and 3D geometric figures. Probability rules learned in previous courses are extended to the statistics of making inferences and justifying conclusions.  At the end of the course students take the Math 3 End-of-Course (EOC) Exam.

MAT 171 Precalculus is designed to develop topics which are fundamental to the study of Calculus. Emphasis is placed on solving equations and inequalities, solving systems of equations and inequalities, and analysis of functions (absolute value, radical, polynomial, rational, exponential, and logarithmic) in multiple representations. Upon completion, students should be able to select and use appropriate models and techniques for finding solutions to algebra-related problems with and without technology.

MAT152   Statistical Methods 1 This course provides a project-based approach to introductory statistics with an emphasis on using real-world data and statistical literacy. Topics include descriptive statistics, correlation and regression, basic probability, discrete and continuous probability distributions, confidence intervals and hypothesis testing. Upon completion, students should be able to use appropriate technology to describe important characteristics of a data set, draw inferences about a population from sample data, and interpret and communicate results. This course has been approved for transfer under the CAA and ICAA as a universal general education transfer component (UGETC) course in Mathematics 

MAT 172 College Trigonometry This course is designed to develop an understanding of topics which are fundamental to the study of Calculus. Emphasis is placed on the analysis of trigonometric functions in multiple representations, right and oblique triangles, vectors, polar coordinates, conic sections, and parametric equations. Upon completion, students should be able to select and use appropriate models and techniques for finding solutions to trigonometry-related problems with and without technology.
