I don't know how to answer your question. I've been thinking about this myself. My son is in 3rd grade. When he did the assessment, ALEKS said he should work at 3rd grade level. But, he's doing simple algebraic equations and converting numbers from Celsius to Farenheit at home. If I let him to 3rd grade on ALEKS, then he's even further ahead at school. Maybe I should let him to pre-algebra instead to give him some challenge. Any thoughts?
May I know what assessment did your DS take? Was it the one he had to do when u sign him up the very first time and when u selected the grade 3 course yourself?
I know what u meant. That was one reason why I didn't choose his current level because DS8 has already attempted and passed the end of year grade assessment in school and I was quite sure he could handle some grade 7/8 stuff. Just not sure what are his gaps. I was hoping ALEKS could do the job for me.
