  5. When would students utilize ALEKS? • Extension/Intervention Classes • ESS – During, Before, or After School • Summer Programs • Rotational RTI Flexible Classes • Regular & Advanced Math Classes • At Home!

  6. If ALEKS is used in a regular math class, how are grades assigned? • 5-7 Topics Daily Plus ALEKS Worksheet for Daily Grade. • ALEKS Quizzes • Growth Assessments • For total course assessment the % of the pie/course completed can be utilized.

  7. Daily Grades & Student Reflective Goals Date: ______________________________ I have mastered _________ out of _________ topics. I am going to work on my _____________ colored pie today. My beginning topics mastered for this pie today is ____________ I want to increase that number to ___________ mastered today. I am going to achieve my goal by ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Did you meet your goal today?
