Description
This is a flexible instructor-led credit recovery Geometry course. Instructors regularly interact with students and provide assistance and feedback on work. This course covers Geometry concepts for credit recovery. Students may work at their own pace to complete the course and may take up to 20 weeks to complete the course. This course emphasizes the relationships among geometric figures and concepts. Specifically, students will explore basic figures (points, lines, angles), parallel and perpendicular lines, congruence, similarity, quadrilaterals, trigonometry, circles, and volume. Students will apply logical thinking throughout the course through constructions and problem solving. There will be an emphasis on solving real world applications using these concepts throughout the course. 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, 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.
Prerequisites
Algebra 1
Course Objectives
This course will focus on the following objectives: - Use logical reasoning to identify and apply properties of congruence.
- Create geometric constructions to investigate and describe geometric properties.
- Apply deductive reasoning to connect ideas.
- Identify and apply trigonometry for right triangles to model situations.
- Identify and apply properties of circles to model and solve problems.
- Calculate volumes of three-dimensional objects and apply to model and solve problems.
Additional Requirements
A construction program, GeoGebra, will be utilized in the course and will need to be downloaded to your computer.
This course may include course content which will require regular access to a desktop computer with a Windows/Mac operating system or Chromebook. Some parts of the course may not be able to be completed on a mobile device.
Please note: *Students who plan to transfer credit from VHS Learning to their full-time high school should check with their school to confirm they will accept the credits before registering for a VHS Learning Credit Recovery course.
