NC Math II Grade 10 1 Unit Prerequisite: At least a“ C” in NC Math I OR teacher recommendation NC Math II is a semester course. Continues a progression of the standards established in NC Math I. In addition to these standards, NC Math II includes: polynomials, quadratics, functions, congruence and similarity of figures, trigonometry with triangles, modeling with geometry, probability, making inferences and justifying conclusions. A North Carolina Final Exam is given at the conclusion of this course.

Honors NC Math II Grades 9, 10 1 Unit Prerequisite: A / B average in NC Math I OR teacher recommendation Honors NC Math II is a rigorous approach in the progression of the standards established in NC Math I. In addition to these standards, NC Math II includes: polynomials, congruence and similarity of figures, trigonometry with triangles, modeling with geometry, probability, making inferences and justifying conclusions. At the HONORS level students will be challenged by more rigorous and in-depth coursework. This course is designed for talented, motivated, hardworking students, with a strong mathematical background. A North Carolina Final Exam is given at the conclusion of this course.

Honors NC Math III Grades 10, 11 1 Unit Prerequisite: At least a“ C” in NC Math II Honors OR A / B average in NC Math I AND teacher recommendation Honors Math III continues a progression of the standards established in NC Math I and II. In addition to these standards, NC Math III extends to include algebraic concepts such as: the complex number system, inverse functions, trigonometric functions and the unit circle. This is the third in the sequence of math courses designed that students are prepared to take higher level math courses in their high school career, including Pre- Calculus, Advanced Placement Calculus AB and BC. A North Carolina Final Exam is given at the conclusion of this course.

Honors Discrete Math Grades 11, 12 1 Unit Prerequisite: A / B average in Honors NC Math III OR teacher recommendation This course is the study of discrete math, also called finite mathematics or decision mathematics. The content encompasses the study of mathematical structures that are fundamentally discrete in the sense of not supporting or requiring the notion of continuity. Objects studied in discrete mathematics are largely countable sets such as integers, finite graphs, and formal languages.

Honors Pre-Calculus Grades 10, 11, 12 1 Unit Prerequisite: A / B average in Honors NC Math III OR teacher recommendation Honors Pre-Calculus progresses from the standards in NC Math I, II, and III. In addition to these standards, Pre-Calculus provides a rigorous honors-level study of right triangle trigonometry, advanced functions and data analysis in preparation for calculus. Pre-Calculus includes topics such as unit circle trigonometry, trigonometric identities and equations, law of sines and cosines, vectors, parametric equations, polar equations, conics, and limits. This course is a prerequisite for calculus sequence. This course can be an Honors 4 th math credit for graduation purposes intended for students who are going to a four-year university. A North Carolina Final Exam is given at the conclusion of this course.

Honors Calculus Grades 11, 12( fall) 1 Unit Prerequisite:“ C” average or higher in Honors Pre-Calculus OR teacher recommendation This course covers completely the topics of limits, differentiation and applications. It also covers the basic concepts of integration.
