K-12 Course Recommendations

Please refer to the recommendations below when selecting an ALEKS course for your students. At any time, you may move students to a new course. If students complete over 85% of their pies after the Initial Knowledge Check, we recommend moving them to a more advanced course; if students complete less than 15%, we recommend moving them to a lower course.

Please use these as guidelines. Schools, classes, or students with unique needs may fall outside of these course recommendations.

Course/Grade Level	On Level ALEKS Course Product Recommendations	Approaching Grade Level Course Product Recommendations
Algebra 1	Algebra 1 and Prep for Algebra 1 Combined provides comprehensive state standards coverage of Grade 8 and Algebra 1 and includes a large set of prerequisite topics for students who may need additional support. As such, this course may be used for an accelerated Grade 8 implementation covering both Grade 8 and Algebra 1 level standards or may be used for students taking Algebra 1 who need additional support for success in Algebra 1. Algebra 1 provides comprehensive state standards coverage of Algebra 1 and its prerequisites.	High School Preparation for Algebra 1* CC
Algebra 1A	Algebra 1A Algebra 1A is a standards-based course that provides comprehensive coverage of the Common Core (CCSS) and State Standards. It focuses on the algebra concepts and prerequisites typically covered in the first half of an Algebra 1 course. This course can be used as the first part of a two-semester sequence or by itself as a year-long course. It provides robust and comprehensive topic coverage and enables students to master all the math skills they need to succeed in higher level algebra.
Algebra 1B	Algebra 1B Algebra 1B is a standards-based course that provides comprehensive coverage of the Common Core (CCSS) and State Standards. It focuses on the algebra concepts and prerequisites typically covered in the second half of an Algebra 1 course. This course can be used as the second part of a two-semester sequence or by itself as a year-long course. It provides robust and comprehensive topic coverage and increases student success in higher level algebra.
Geometry	High School Geometry provides comprehensive state standards coverage of High School Geometry and its prerequisites.	Focus on High School Foundations I NA
Algebra 2	Algebra 2 with Trigonometry provides robust state standards coverage of Algebra 2, including broad coverage of Trigonometry.	Focus on High School Foundations II NA
Integrated Math I	Integrated Mathematics I Integrated Mathematics I focuses on algebra, linear and exponential functions, sequences, systems of equations, descriptive statistics, and introductory geometry. This course offers comprehensive, standards-based coverage, and includes reporting against the Common Core Standards.	Focus on High School Foundations I NA
Integrated Math II	Integrated Mathematics II Integrated Mathematics II focuses on quadratic functions, probability, advanced geometry, and introductory trigonometry. This course offers comprehensive, standards-based coverage, and includes reporting against the Common Core Standards.	Focus on High School Foundations I NA
Integrated Math III	Integrated Mathematics III Integrated Mathematics III focuses on extending algebra and functions (including radicals, rational expressions, polynomial functions, logarithmic functions, sequences and series), trigonometry, and probability. This course offers comprehensive, standards-based coverage, and includes reporting against the Common Core Standards.	Focus on High School Foundations II NA
PreCalculus	PreCalculus provides robust state standards coverage of Precalculus and its prerequisites and includes topics on polynomials, exponential and logarithmic functions, and trigonometry.
Trigonometry	Trigonometry NA *Standards available for reporting only for IN and VA provides focused coverage of trigonometry and its prerequisites.
Statistics	Introduction to Statistics	High School Prep for Statistics NA
Test Prep	Mastery of SAT Math NA is designed to help students achieve mastery of the math topics on the SAT Reasoning Test. ALEKS individualized assessment and learning enables students to efficiently refresh and fill gaps in their knowledge of the mathematics tested on the SAT. The course works best when supplemented with SAT practice tests, so that students achieve fluency in the particular style and format of the SAT test questions. In particular, we recommend the following use of this course by students preparing for the SAT: Master 100% of the material in the ALEKS course; and Take several SAT practice tests (widely available from other sources). Mastery of ACT Math NA is designed to help students achieve mastery of the math topics on the ACT Mathematics Test. ALEKS individualized assessment and learning enables students to efficiently refresh and fill gaps in their knowledge of the mathematics tested on the ACT. The course works best when supplemented with ACT practice tests, so that students achieve fluency in the particular style and format of the ACT test questions. In particular, we recommend the following use of this course by students preparing for the ACT: Master 100% of the material in the ALEKS course; and Take several ACT practice tests (widely available from other sources).
