Students work through a sequence of classes. The initial placement is always at the intervention level in the sequence.
Sample scenario when to use this option: You are teaching 5th grade math. The majority of the students are at a 2nd – 4th grade level.
Pros:
- Students are directed toward the least challenging topics.
- After the initial knowledge check, a teacher can readily identify the level of intervention needed for each topic.
- Pacing is individualized.
Cons:
- Students may not keep a pace that will allow them to work on grade-level content.
- Since students in the same classroom may be in 3 different ALEKS courses, there will be more teacher time needed to review ALEKS progress data.

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.

The LV 3 Intervention and LV 4 Intervention classes are customized classes. They only contain topics from standards that are considered to be a major work of the grade. You will need to use the class codes below when creating the “LV 3 Intervention” and “LV 4 Intervention” classes, as they are not one of the ALEKS course products. LV 3 Intervention Class Code: XA4QJ-3HMAR LV 4 Intervention Class Code: UTJDD-G3QH3 How to create classes with a class code
- Hover over Instructor Administration and select “New Class”.
