WHAT IS ALEKS?

ALEKS uses artificial intelligence (AI) to map the details of each student's knowledge. ALEKS knows, at each moment, with respect to each individual topic, whether each individual student has mastered that topic. If not, ALEKS knows whether the student is ready to learn the topic at that moment. ALEKS uses this knowledge to make learning more efficient and effective by continuously offering the student a selection of only the topics she is ready to learn right now. This builds student confidence and learning momentum.

Xtramath is a program we use to sharpen our multiplication and division skills. When students feel confident in these operations, it helps shorten the amount of time it takes to complete homework. It also is a great basis for many concepts that we will apply to fraction study this year. Students should work on Xtramath @5 minutes per night with a goal of 100% multiplication and division by the end of the first quarter.
