We will be using Amplify Desmos Curriculum in NC Math 1 classes this year as our main classroom resources. 

The purpose of this course is to extend the mathematics that students have previously learned. This course develops understanding of linear relationships, in part by contrasting them with exponential and quadratic relationships, and in part by applying linear models to data that exhibit a linear trend. In addition to studying bivariate data, students also summarize, represent, and interpret data on a single count or measurement variable. The Geometry standards that appear in this course formalize and extend students’ geometric experiences to explore more complex geometric situations and deepen their explanations of geometric relationships, moving towards formal mathematical arguments. 

The Standards for Mathematical Practice apply throughout this course and, together with the content standards, require that students experience mathematics as a coherent, useful, and logical subject that makes use of their ability to make sense of problem situations.  The final exam is the North Carolina End-of-Course Test based on the Common Core Math 1 Standards. 

Course Outline

Some adjustments may be made throughout the year to cater to needs of students but the general course outline is as follows:
