Virginia Algebra I A/B

Virginia Algebra I is a two-semester course that offers 100% alignment to the Mathematics Standards of Learning for Virginia Public Schools. The specific standard alignment for each lesson is visible to both educators and students. In addition to the emphasis on alignment, the lessons in the course offer a focused exploration of topics to make concepts digestible for learners. Tutorials are grouped to reinforce connections between concepts. This course supports student mastery with practice questions included with each lesson, including technology-enhanced items and explanations to assist students in their understanding of the concepts. Other features include worksheets for practice and guided notes to help students record key takeaways as they move through each tutorial. The course is built around learner engagement, with interactive lessons, videos that work through examples and model problem-solving skills, and experiences to support multimodal learning and sense-making. Scaffolding pieces are included throughout the course to provide learners with opportunities to build on foundational skills as well as to prepare for greater success by drawing learners' attention to common misunderstandings and articulating the big ideas that underpin learning. Virginia Algebra I reflects our commitment to standards alignment and putting the needs of educators and students first in all aspects of course design.
