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.

AP Calculus AB

This is an Advanced Placement course that requires a 90-minute daily class amount of time. Also, students need to spend time working at home a minimum of 30 minutes daily on the lesson readings, class discussions, assignments, and tests.  AP Calculus AB is the study of change. The foundation for this study is limits and function behavior. Derivatives of functions are interpreted verbally, graphically, numerically, and algebraically. Numerical and algebraic antiderivatives are used to solve problems, and differential equations to model exponential growth and decay. AP Calculus AB explores relationships among functions, derivatives, and antiderivatives, as well as applications of derivatives including moving bodies, industry and finance. This course does require an in-person AP Test on a nationally determined date by the College Board. 

TI-83 plus, TI-84 (or plus), TI-86, or TI-89 calculators will be used regularly to reinforce and extend each concept. They will also be used to investigate topics and assist in interpreting results. Concepts will be taught in unifying themes of derivatives, limits, integrals, and polynomial approximations. These themes are developed through the functions and relations studied in pre-calculus. For an online version of this calculator please download the TI-emulator (https://wabbit.codeplex.com/). You will need the ability to scan your work to upload a readable copy for your instructor to grade.  Camscanner is a free app that does this easily for you. Handwritten work is acceptable or you need to use an equation editor.

This Course is offered through NCVPS.

• • COURSE #:  2A007X0Y

  • CREDIT:  1

  • TYPE:  Advanced Placement

  • GRADE:  11-12

  • PREREQUISITE:  Students taking AP Calculus AB should have taken Pre-Calculus, or equivalent coursework that includes trigonometry and advanced study of functions.

AP Statistics

This is a year-long course that requires a 90-minute daily class amount of time. Also, students need to spend time working at home a minimum of 30 minutes daily on the textbook readings, class discussions, assignments, and tests. The course is designed to prepare students to collect, analyze and draw conclusions from data. Students will learn how to view data through a discriminatory eye to determine validity and be able to interpret data and analysis that is valid. Teaching the course is somewhat different than other traditional mathematics courses because it provides an answer to the age old mathematics student question of, “When are we going to use this?” Students will use real data, whether self-collected or from a primary source, to perform analysis or to test hypotheses. Students will conduct simulations and studies to help anchor topics throughout the course. Data will come from a variety of sources ranging from national newspapers to organization websites. Students will be prepared to successfully take the AP Statistics exam. This course does require an in-person AP Test on a nationally determined date by the College Board. 

COURSE MATERIALS:

Competency in word processing, spreadsheet applications, and one or more of the following statistical analysis programs: R, JMP, Graph, TI-83 or TI-84 graphing calculator or equivalent. You will need the ability to scan your work to upload a readable copy for your instructor to grade. Camscanner is a free app that does this easily for you. Handwritten work is acceptable or you need to use an equation editor.
