Individualized Curriculum with ALEKS Math!

We have been using ALEKS Math in the classroom for five weeks now. You have all made significant progress in your learning. Do you think this type of instruction is better than learning from a textbook? Explain. How do you see yourself progressing in Math thus far as compared to previous years? Are you learning more? Are you more confident in your Math because you are doing your own problems/program?

Please let me know how you are feeling about this new program in our school.

 

 

 

FYI: The reports and data that I am seeing through the administration portal are quite astounding! Keep up the good work!!


  I think that if we as a

 

I think that if we as a class keep on using aleks math the class will get good grades and continue to keep learning more. I think that aleks helps kids everywhere because if they struggle in math they just don't keep getting it wrong they go over it with that person until they think that they have learned it. I think that I am doing better in math than I was doing in it last year because I can work at my own pace and if I get something wrong they go over it until I learn it. I think that aleks math is better than learning it from the book. I think it is  better because if you don't know the question you can have it explained to you. I think that I am progressing vary well in aleks math I think I would not be doing so good if we were going from the book. I think that I am learning a lot more than last year and we haven't used our books yet except for if we need to look up a problem. I think that I am learning more because I am going at my own speed and I am working a my level instead of at someone else level. I think everybody that is in our class enjoys the aleks math better than using the book and not working at their own speed is better than working at someone else speed. I think that everyone in this classroom is making vary good progress over the last five weeks. I think I have made excellent progress over the past five weeks. This year compared to the last year I am making some good progress. Last year I was not this far in math and not doing this good.


Well said, Konrad, but do

Well said, Konrad, but do you think that your performance on the weekly quiz would be better if we working chapter by chapter out of the textbook?  Why or why not?


Don't look at this one !

Don't look at this one !


I LOOKED!

I LOOKED!


  Yes, I think that this

 

Yes, I think that this learning is better than learning from textbook because you can work at your own pace and move along at your own level, vs., if we were in the textbook some kids may not be able to keep up. I also feel like this learning is better than from a textbook because this program teaches me more than a textbook would, because it can get into finer detail than a textbook can. I feel like I am progressing,and learning lots more because I'm not always falling behind,and my math grade has been better than ever. I also feel I am progressing in Math because it can teach me a lot more a lot quicker,and in more detail. Yes I am much more confident in my math because I don't have to worry about keeping up to the other kids and failing I can just go with the flow,and I do what ever problems come my way easily because I get them, and their not hard for me. I feel like this is the best program for kids because, if they are stuck on a problem and are scared to come to the teachers they can just click explain and it will show them how to do it. It is the also best program for kids that are not at as high a learning level than other kids because they can learn at their own pace instead of trying to keep up to other kids. And with this program it is always correct so if you get a problem wrong it will keep making you do it until you get it right,and with regular math if you get it wrong it doesn't tell you what you did wrong it just shows it wrong. I also really hope we continue to use this program in the near and distant future.


Sabrina, it sounds like you

Sabrina, it sounds like you are hesitant to seek help in the classroom.  Be assured that I will help you any way I can.  Your points are very well thought out.  It sounds like in the past you have felt rushed and maybe having some difficulty keeping up with the pace of the class, not necessarily other students.  Have you been meeting your goals in Aleks?  I think the pace this year may be even a little more demanding than Math classes in the past.  Do you think we will cover the necessary information to provide you the necessary knowledge to perform well when you travel to high school?


      Yes, in the past

     

Yes, in the past I have felt rushed to keep up in the classroom because it was just one thing to the next I never got a chance to actually get it. Yes I have been meeting my goals in Aleks, and yes, I also think we will cover the necessary information for me to travel to high school, I just have to get going and get through 6th grade math, then 7th  and so on.


  I think that if are class

 

I think that if are class keep on using aleks math, then we would get better grades and continue to keep learning more. I think that aleks helps us and other students everywhere, because if students were struggling in there math they can just push explain on that lesson and a explanation about that subject will pop up and you can study that until you have learned that lesson. I fill like I'm doing better in math than I was doing last year because I can work at my own pace and if I get something wrong I can just push explain and then study that lesson until I have learned it. I fill that using aleks math is much better than having to learn your information from a text book. I think that's its better because if you don't know the question you can have it explained to you. I think that I'm improving in aleks math, compared to when we used to learn are information from a text book. I'm learning way more math from aleks math then I was before using a text book, the only time that I have had to use my book this year is to look up a problem or two. I'm learning way more because I'm going at my own pace and I'm at my level instead of at someone else pace. Everyone in are class seems to be loving aleks math much more than having to use a text book to look up are information, everyone likes to work at there own speed a lot more than having to work at someone else pace. Everyone in the classroom has been making great progress in aleks math over the passed five weeks. I know that I have made excellent progress ove the past 5 weeks. If I had to compare this years math to last years math I would have to say that this years math is way better that last years math.


Warren, do you think you

Warren, do you think you have spent more or less time in class on Math this year when compared to last year?  Explain, if you will.


  I like Aleks Math because

 

I like Aleks Math because you can work at your own pace and you don't have to be rushed all the time to get your work done. Last year I was one of the slowest people in math but now I can work at my pace. On Aleks you have a pie like thing where you can fill in the pieces and when you get them all filled out you advance to the next grade. So far I have whole numbers filled in an almost done with fractions but my worst thing is geometry when I first started I had 3 of 45 on geometry but now I have 25 of 45 and I think I am doing good on the weekly tests I mostly get 85 or 90 on them. I think that we should do this next year it is a vary good idea. If we where doing regular math I would be probably failing because of the speed I have to do it in. I would be better off with out the assessment tests but I don't mind them but they take away modulus if you do bad. The best part is that we can review what did if we don't understand the problem. Think that the 1st test was kind of hard but now I get the problems that I did not get like the area of a triangle what you A= half of base multiply height than you get your answer. My thought of Aleks is that it is a good idea for a web sight. One other good thing about Aleks is that the teacher can see how you are doing on your math and that you get to know how you are doing. That is my opinion of Aleks math and it cool.


I think that Aleks math is

I think that Aleks math is better than learning out of a book because when I can work at my own pace and when I can do that then I feel that I am doing better. Also working with Aleks math is better because you don't have do work in class. Class instruction isn't as good as Aleks math because in class instruction you might fell that just because someone got a problem right and you got one wrong then you might feel that you aren't as good as the other people in your class and therefor not do as well as you would with Aleks  math. I see myself progressing in Aleks thus far because I feel that I can work ahead if I need to and that feels good a lot of the time. Also in the previews years I feel that am stopped from doing my best because I would have to work out a textbook and therefor not do my best. I am definitely learning more because when I can work independently I do better when I can work independently. I  am more confident in my math because with Aleks math I can take my laptop home go ahead in math and there forth do my best in math. I am also more confident because with Aleks math I can be my own class and wouldn't get embarrassed if I got a problem wrong because nobody knows what I am doing because they aren't in my class and don't know what I am doing so they can't laugh at me or call me names. With Aleks math I think I will do better than I already am, and I will start seeing some major changes in my math curriculum. And there forth do way better in math and get some seriously awesome grades. 


  I think Aleks math is

 

I think Aleks math is better than learning from a textbook because it lets me go at my own pace and I like that better than a textbook. Aleks math also explains my math problems more than the book does and makes sure I get the problem before I move on. Aleks math helps me learn math problems for a long time and not just for that day. I think I am progressing more in math than ever before because Aleks math explains it to me and I like how the pie tells you where you are and how you are doing. It shows me if I am lagging behind in Geometry, for example, so I can work harder in Geometry and catch up in it. I like Aleks math a lot. I think I am learning more because Aleks makes math fun and makes me want to learn instead of wanting to just get it done. I am more confident and I like being able to work at my own pace because it helps me learn a lot more. I like how Aleks makes you set a goal and helps you work through it. In the past few years, I was learning a little bit, but not as much as I am this year. I feel like I have learned more this year in just a few weeks than in the past few years. I like doing Aleks math and then just using my math textbook for a reference. The math worksheets we get teach a lot and I like them better than the workbook and I learn more too.


  I think that Aleks Math

 

I think that Aleks Math is better than doing our work from a book because it helps us with the problems we don't get until we get them and when you did them in the book you just got them wrong when you did it wrong. On Aleks Math you can work at your own pace instead of your teachers and other classmates pace. And one good thing is you don't have to do your work at school all the time. And if I don't have a clue how to do a problem you can press the EXPLAIN button and it explains how to do that problem and then you can try to get a different question like that on your own.

This year I feel that I am doing better in math than last year because we get to go at our own pace so I can learn more and faster at my own pace. And last year my grades in math were a lot lower than this year and I can work more efficiently than last year this year. And the teacher teaches some of the harder stuff to the whole class so we can all learn it from our teacher to not just he computer.

Now I am confident in my math because it seems a lot easier doing it in Aleks Math than last year. All because I can work at my own pace. Each one of the students work on different questions so we have to work independently on it not as a group. And I am confident because I can work ahead so I'm not so far behind and we can take it home so that keeps me confident too.

I like the Aleks Math program because it teaches it to us and like I said we get to work at our own pace. We also have worksheets that we do each morning about the question that we did the previous day our so. The worksheets should be easy by doing the questions the day before, we should be getting better grades and passing the subject with flying colors.
