ALEKS Math Enrollment 2015.2016
Elementary Campus
The ALEKS Math program is open to ALL students in grades 3 through 6.
Welcome to Aquin Catholic Schools. We are so happy to have your family join our Aquin family!
As your family is new to our school system, I wanted to take a moment to let you know that students in grades 3 through 6 have two math options. Saxon Math is our regular classroom math program, and ALEKS Math is our technology-based program. Please read through the information below, and if you decide that ALEKS Math might work for your child(ren), you may enroll by following the instructions at the end of this email.
What do we do in the ALEKS Classroom on a weekly/daily basis?
- regular weekly assessment
- small group work where we go more in-depth on concepts
- station work to practice concepts and facts
- math concept videos with note-taking skills and practice
- independent work in ALEKS (each student works to complete their individual topic requirements for the week)
- Friday Game Day - when earned by the class
Special Items:
- various Math projects
- Pi Day Celebration
Some things to think about:
- Has your child struggled with math in the past?
- Is it a fight every night just to complete math homework?
- Does math homework take up a significant amount of your child’s homework time?
Does your child excel in math?
Is your child ready for challenges above and beyond his or her grade level?
Does math ‘come easily’ for your child?
Does your child enjoy learning on a computer or device?
Does your child want to try something different this year?
Did you answer 'YES' to any of the questions above? If so, please consider ALEKS Math as a math option for your child.
