Lloyd C. Bird High – De377d - College Quantitative Reasoning (Semester 1)

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

This course is dual enrollment with Brightpoint Community College. It presents an overview of statistics, including descriptive statistics, elementary probability, probability distributions, estimation, hypothesis testing, correlation and linear regression. The course continues the study of estimation and hypothesis testing with emphasis on advanced regression topics, experimental design, analysis of variance, chi-square tests and non-parametric methods. (Aligns with Brightpoint Community College’s equivalent Quantitative Reasoning MTH 154 and Statistics MTH 245; Six credits) ### Middle School Science #### Middle School Science Course Options Middle school science courses follow a sequence that builds on what students learned before. This guide helps families understand available science paths and how each course connects to the next. Following the recommended sequence supports strong skill development, keeps students on track, and prepares them for future science success. On Grade Level Pathway Students in this pathway take science classes that match their grade level. They learn science at the pace suggested by the Standards of Learning. In this path, students typically take Science 6 in sixth grade, Science 7 in seventh grade, and Physical Science in eighth grade. After sixth grade, students can take and pass a required summer bridge course to move into the honors pathway if interested. This is the only opportunity to change pathways in middle school. Honors Pathway Students in this pathway accelerate the learning of middle school content, learning more science content of multiple grade levels in a single year. In this path, students typically take Honors Science Systems I in sixth grade, Honors Science Systems II in seventh grade, and Earth Science in eighth grade. After sixth grade, students can move from the honors pathway to the on grade level pathway. This is the only opportunity to change pathways in middle school.
