Technical Mathematics I
Technical Mathematics 1 continues students’ study of algebra and geometry, building upon middle school and Algebra I topics. Problem solving, measurement, special relationships in right triangles, transformations, and geometric applications of algebra are the topics we will study in an application-centered environment. Appropriate technology, from manipulatives to calculators and application software will be used regularly for instruction and assessment. The standard course of study can be found online at www.ncpublicschools.org/curriculum/. For each session of classroom instruction, the student is expected to spend twenty to forty minutes outside of class on assignments, projects, review, and preparation. The final exam is teacher-made.

Geometry
Geometry continues students’ study of geometric concepts building upon middle school topics. Students move from an inductive approach to deductive methods of proof in their study of geometric figures. Two- and three-dimensional reasoning skills are emphasized and students broaden their use of the coordinate plane to include transformations of geometric figures. Appropriate technology, from manipulatives to calculators and graphic software, is used for instruction and assessment. Students focus on mastery of definitions, theorems, and postulates, strongly emphasizing their application in direct proof, indirect proof, and problem solving. The final exam is the North Carolina Geometry End-of-Course Test which counts 25% of the final grade. The standard course of study can be found online at www.ncpublicschools.org/curriculum/.
