Foundations of Math 1

Course Code: 20902X0X

This course is designed to build the foundational skills necessary for success in NC Math 1. It offers a thorough review of fundamental concepts, including computational skills, number theory, basic geometry, and problem-solving strategies. Students taking this course will be enrolled concurrently in NC Math 1 to provide continuous support and reinforcement.

NC Math 1

Course Code: 21092X0X

NC Math 1 is the first course in the high school mathematics sequence, covering a wide range of essential topics. Students will explore concepts in algebra, geometry, functions, and statistics. Key areas of focus include working with real numbers, creating and solving equations, understanding functions, exploring geometric properties, and interpreting data.

NC Math 1 Honors

Course Code: 21095X0X

This honors course follows the same curriculum as NC Math 1 but is designed for students seeking a more rigorous and in-depth academic experience. Students will study algebra, geometry, functions, and statistics through challenging problem-solving and advanced applications, preparing them for higher-level mathematics.

NC Math 2

Course Code: 22092X0X

NC Math 2 builds upon the knowledge and skills from NC Math 1. This course introduces more complex topics, such as working with polynomials, understanding congruence and similarity in geometric figures, and applying trigonometry to triangles. Students will also learn about probability and how to draw and justify conclusions from data.

Prerequisite: NC Math 1

NC Math 2 Honors

Course Code: 22095X0X

Following the NC Math 2 curriculum, this honors course provides a deeper and more challenging exploration of the material. Students will engage in rigorous study of polynomials, geometric transformations, trigonometry, and probability. The curriculum is enhanced with complex problems and advanced applications to encourage a higher level of mathematical thinking.

Prerequisite: NC Math 1

NC Math 3

Course Code: 23092X0X

NC Math 3 is the third course in the high school math sequence, connecting concepts from NC Math 1 and 2 to more advanced topics. This course expands on algebraic ideas to include the complex number system, inverse functions, and trigonometric functions with the unit circle. Students will also explore geometric concepts related to conics and circles.
