1 Online Math Solution For Grades 3-12

2 A GROUNDBREAKING APPROACH TO LEARNING MATH ALEKS is an innovative, personalized solution to learning math for grades Powered by artificial intelligence and adaptive technology, this online program delivers truly individualized instruction based on what each student is most ready to learn. This highly-differentiated approach enables tremendous learning momentum and builds student confidence in math.

3 Personalized & Adaptive ALEKS adapts to each student s level of knowledge by delivering periodic, artificiallyintelligent assessments that continuously determine what each student is most ready to learn. Ready to Learn ALEKS guides students through their personalized learning path based on the topics they are most ready to learn. This approach challenges students while eliminating frustration and boredom. Instructionally Actionable Data ALEKS empowers educators by providing real-time data at their fingertips. Effortlessly incorporate instructionally actionable data into the classroom with customizable reports on student progress, mastery, and time-on-task.

4 RESEARCH-BASED LEARNING ALEKS combines the power of big data with personalized learning to create an optimal learning path for each student. Developed By Cognitive Scientists Developed over several decades with support from the National Science Foundation and researchers at top universities, ALEKS is derived from Learning Space Theory. This theory represents learning not as a linear process, but rather as a complex structure of interrelated topics through which there are trillions of unique paths to mastery. Personalizing Student Learning Using artificial intelligence and adaptive questioning, ALEKS maps each student s unique knowledge state, and creates an optimal learning path based on the exact topics the student is ready to learn next. Big Data, Big Success ALEKS gathers data to continuously refine the way topics are connected to each other, ensuring that students consistently master Ready to Learn Topics more than 90% of the time. STUDENTS MASTER Ready to Learn Topics more than of the 90% time LEARN MORE aleks.com/video/how_aleks_works

5 ALIGNED TO STATE STANDARDS AND COMMON CORE STANDARDS PREP FOR STATE & COMMON CORE STANDARDS ALEKS courses are standards-based, and are correlated to and integrated with the Common Core and state standards. Standards-Based Learning Artificial intelligence targets gaps in student knowledge of the Common Core and state standards Personalized learning on standards-based content Delivers formative and summative assessments to track student progress Open-response environment avoids multiple-choice Fully bilingual English and Spanish Actionable Reporting Real-time reporting allows educators to monitor student, class, school, and district progress toward Common Core and state standards mastery. Educators can see which topics a student has mastered, not mastered, and is ready to learn in correlation to a specific math standard. I have found that mastery in ALEKS correlates well with state test scores and other progress assessments. I have seen students increase their achievement by up to 20 points. Geoff Barrett, Teacher, West Lane Technical Learning Center, OR

6 A PERSONALIZED LEARNING SYSTEM ALEKS delivers a powerful cycle of targeted learning and assessment, using standards-based content. This highly personalized system creates a unique learning experience for each student. 2 Pe r s o n a l i z e d Le a r n i n g A s s e s s m e n t 1 A d a p t i ve 3 Continuous Assessment & Learning 1 Adaptive Assessment Students begin with a formative Initial Assessment to accurately identify what each student knows, doesn t know, and is ready to learn next. The results are succinctly displayed in the ALEKS Pie. The dark area of the ALEKS Pie represents what a student knows, while the light area shows what the student has left to learn.

7 A PERSONALIZED LEARNING SYSTEM 2 Personalized Learning Students work through Ready to Learn Topics, while ALEKS provides immediate feedback, detailed explanations, definitions, and other helpful tools. Unique Learning Features: Open-response questions ensure mastery Content aligned to the Common Core and all 50 states standards Fully bilingual in English and Spanish Students use intuitive answer-input tools to solve free response problems while in Learning Mode. 3 Continuous Assessment & Learning As a student masters topics, ALEKS periodically provides reassessments to ensure knowledge retention. Before we used ALEKS, some of our students scored toward the bottom on the math portion of the state assessment in our district. After we implemented ALEKS, the same students had the top scores in the entire district. James Zwerican, Math Dept. Chair, Haas Elementary School, MI

8 ACTIONABLE REPORTING A robust Instructor Module provides educators with real-time, instructionally actionable data at the student, class, school, and district levels. See Student Progress at a Glance Student progress in a course can be viewed by topics learned, time spent in ALEKS, and percent completion of the course. Pinpoint Ready to Learn Topics Prepare students for success by targeting the precise topics that they are ready to learn next. Use these topics to plan lessons, group students, or provide opportunities for additional practice. I couldn t ask for a program that gives me a more detailed look at the specific objectives and topics that my students have mastered or are struggling with. With ALEKS, I am able to pinpoint their strengths and weaknesses and adapt my teaching to fit their needs. Kristina Linberg, Teacher, Liberty Junior School, OH

12 PROVEN RESULTS Big Bear Middle School in Big Bear, CA implemented ALEKS to assist students struggling to pass the California Standards Test (CST) and progress to Algebra 1. Big Bear Middle School increased test scores by an average of 30 points in just one year of using ALEKS for remediation. Average Point Gain When Retaking the California State Standards Test (CST) Points Points Initial Test Retest Without ALEKS With ALEKS After using ALEKS for a year, our Algebra Readiness 8th graders more than doubled the increase in CST score that s typically seen at our school. Moreover, 56% of these students scored at least Proficient, compared to the usual 40%. Debbie Burton, Teacher, Big Bear Middle School, CA READ MORE SUCCESS STORIES aleks.com/k12/success_stories
