DonaldsonE-mail: rfdonaldson@bladen.k12.nc.usCourse DescriptionNC Math 1 provides students the opportunity to study algebra with respect to linear, quadratic, and exponential functions. Students will also study analytic and Euclidean geometry with the focus on coordinate geometry. Students will explore statistics and probability with a focus on univariate and bivariate data. They will use technology to problem-solve including the TI 84 graphing calculator and the Desmos calculator online. This is an End-of-Course class.PrerequisiteSuccessful completion of Grade 8 and/or Foundations of MathCourse MaterialsSuggested ReadingsPrelude to Mathematics by W.W.
