Description:
This course covers a full year of Algebra I concepts for credit recovery.

This course will cover all of the basic topics of an Algebra 1 course including: solving equations, slope, systems of equations (solved mathematically and graphically), exponents, monomials and polynomials. Students are asked to view videos, tutorials and animations, play math games, complete simulations and write in their journals. Most topics have automated quizzes that students can take up to 3 times to achieve their best score. Students will also complete unit quizzes to test their knowledge of the content and reflect on their performance. Students will also work on various projects and will participate in class discussions about math topics.

Please note if the student is taking this course for credit recovery, it is advised that you check with the student's school to confirm that the topics covered (see course syllabus) match those required by the local school. You may also want to confirm with the school the process for receiving credits, which may involve an assessment administered separately by the school.
