Adding up to Success: NH Community Colleges and High Schoolspartnering for Math Excellence!
The Math Learning Communities (MLC) is a state-funded, innovative partnership initiative between NH public high schools and the Community College System of NH (CCSNH). This two-tiered math program offers public secondary schools the opportunity to offer our two courses at their schools, one for high school credit and one for dual-enrollment credit. These courses are designed to equip juniors and seniors with essential higher-level math skills, preparing them for diverse postsecondary paths—whether that’s college, the military, apprenticeships, training programs, or direct entry into the workforce.
Overview of Courses
Algebra 2: Functions, Modeling, and Quantitative Reasoning
This course equips students with essential mathematical reasoning and problem-solving skills, focusing on real-world applications and preparation for advanced mathematics. Using innovative teaching methods like asset-based, modeling, and social-emotional learning strategies, students explore key concepts in functions (linear, quadratic, exponential, etc.), number theory, probability, statistics, and geometry. Emphasis is placed on critical thinking, active problem-solving, and technology.
Offered for high school credit at your high school.
The Algebra 2 topics in this course satisfy the general admissions requirements for the University of New Hampshire
Statistics I: An Introduction to Statistical Reasoning
This course focuses on developing statistical literacy and reasoning through problem-solving and decision-making. Students engage in the statistical process—formulating questions, analyzing data, and interpreting results—to become critical consumers of statistical information. Key topics include descriptive and inferential statistics, probability, regression, surveys, and hypothesis testing. The course uses various statistical tools and software to enhance understanding.
Offered for both high school credit at your high school and dual-enrollment credit through Early College at CCSNH.
Accepted for math credit at all University System of NH Schools (UNH, UNHM, Plymouth State University, Keene State College)
