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 Algebra 1. Many students have previously failed Algebra 1 or are well below grade level.

Pros:

  • Students do not need to spend time on topics they already know well.
  • Returning to grade level is reasonable and doable.
  • After the initial knowledge check, a teacher can readily identify the level of intervention needed for each topic.
  • Pacing is individualized.
  • Students are directed toward the least challenging topics.

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.

Algebra 1 Modified: A customized Algebra 1 ALEKS class that only contains topics from standards considered to be a major work of the grade. Class Code: GCHDG-RJR4U (if this code does not work, try 9RLGV-QW6NE).

 

You will need to use the class code above when creating the “Algebra 1 Modified” class, as it is not one of the ALEKS course products. 

How to create classes with a class code

  1. Hover over Instructor Administration and select “New Class”.
  2. Select “Copy a Class by Class Code at any Institution”.
  3. Enter the Class Code.

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.
