Description
This is a flexible instructor-led credit recovery Algebra 1 course. Instructors regularly interact with students and provide assistance and feedback on work. This course covers Algebra 1 concepts for credit recovery. Students may work at their own pace to complete the course; students may take up to 20 weeks to complete the course. This course introduces students to concepts seen in an Algebra 1 course. Specifically, students will explore real numbers, algebraic expressions, functions, equations and inequalities, slope and linear equations, systems of linear equations, polynomials and factoring, and quadratic equations. There will be an emphasis on solving real world applications using linear, quadratic, and exponential models. Please note that this course is an abbreviated course. Therefore, the course does not cover a full year’s curriculum with the same depth that is covered in a year-long course. Credit recovery courses require approximately 40 total hours of work for a 0.5 credit course and 80 total hours for a 1-credit Credit Recovery course. In addition, if the student is taking this course for credit recovery or initial credit, it is strongly advised that you check with the student's school to confirm that the topics covered (see course syllabus) match those required by the 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.
