Aleks is the new online component we will be using in our math courses this year. 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/he 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. Twenty percent of the student's grade in this course will rely on their progress in ALEKS.

Use the Khan Academy site to watch videos on how to solve problems, as well as, get extra practice. Simply search the topic (you can use the title of the section in your textbook) and choose one of the options. Students and/or parents can create their own account.

This will take you to the textbooks website where you can access a digital copy of the textbook, as well as, assignments and additional tools. Students should write their username and password in their planner, Record and Practice Journals or some other safe location where they will have access to it.
