Students are placed in their grade level ALEKS class.
| Grade Level | ALEKS Class |
| K-2 | Use RedBird Math |
| 3 | LV 3 |
| 4 | LV 4 |
| 5 | LV 5 |
| 6 | Middle School Math 1/LV 6 |
| 7 | Middle School Math 2 |
| 8 | Middle School Math 3 |
Sample scenario when to use this option: You are teaching 8th grade math and most of your students are at or near grade level.
Pros:
- All students are enrolled in the same ALEKS course.
- After the initial knowledge check, a teacher can readily identify any outliers, such as a student needing intervention or a student who can move more quickly through the content.
- Assignment features can be used to create whole class pre-tests, assessments, exit tickets.
Cons:
- As long as a large percentage of the students are at grade level, there are no negatives.
ALEKS can be a stand-alone curriculum. Teachers may wish to include activities such as:
Inside Mathematics’ “Problem of the Month” and “Performance Assessment Tasks”
Illustrative Mathematics‘ Content Tasks.
