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 .
Advanced Functions and Modeling
Grade 12
1 Unit
Prerequisite : NC Math III
This course provides students an in-depth study of modeling and applying functions . Home , work , recreation , consumer issues , public policy , and
scientific investigations are just a few of the areas from which applications should originate . Appropriate technology , from manipulatives to
calculators and application software will be used for instruction . 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 .
AP Calculus AB
Grades 11 , 12 ( spring )
1 Unit
Prerequisite : “ C ” or higher in Honors Calculus
This course follows advanced placement guidelines with AP testing in the spring . Topics covered include applications of integration , exponential
and logarithmic functions and volumes of solids . Students may receive college credit with successful performance on the AP exam in the spring .
