Algebra 1 B Credit Recovery

This is an adaptive credit recovery course, in which students will complete a pretest for each module, and will be exempted from activities for topics where mastery is demonstrated. This type of credit recovery course targets individual areas of need in the curriculum and minimizes repetition of content where students have demonstrated their understanding.

Students focus on exponential and quadratic functions, learning how to read, write, and graph these types of functions. Students compare linear, exponential, and quadratic growth and learn about geometric sequences, polynomials, factoring, radical equations, and rational expressions and equations.

Major topics include:

Exponential Growth and Decay
Polynomials
Factoring and Roots
Quadratic Graphs
Non-Linear Graphs and Equation

Students learn through online lesson activities, videos, and interactive activities. Each module begins with a pretest, proceeds to lessons that conclude with a brief self-check, and wraps with a module exam. The course concludes with a cumulative exam.

This course uses content from Accelerate Education taught by a VHS Learning instructor who is certified in their content area and who follows VHS Learning policies. The course will be hosted in the Buzz learning management system. Students may spend 40 hours completing this course, though actual time-spent will vary based on individual student performance in module pretests.
