ALEKS
ALEKS is available for a variety of math courses for 3-12 students. Through the WorldWide IDEA program, the subscription cost is just $40 per student for the year, instead of the regular price of about $200 per student per year.
ALEKS is a web-based, artificially intelligent assessment and learning system. ALEKS uses adaptive questioning to quickly and accurately determine exactly what a student knows and doesn't know in a course. ALEKS then instructs the student on the topics she is most ready to learn. As a student works through a course, ALEKS periodically reassesses the student to ensure that topics learned are also retained. ALEKS courses are very complete in their topic coverage and ALEKS avoids multiple choice questions.
ALEKS also provides the advantages of one-on-one instruction, 24/7, from virtually any web-based computer for a fraction of the cost of a human tutor.
To learn more about this resource visit the ALEKS website. For a family not enrolled in WorldWide IDEA, each ALEKS class costs $125; For our enrolled families, the cost is only $35 per class.
