Our DS8 has been using EPGY in the classroom as a full replacement for math since Dec. (He started the year using ALEKS.)
Dandy - how high up does ALEKS go?
They have an extensive catalog that goes up to college level and ventures well beyond math:
http://www.aleks.com/about_aleks/course_productsI am just wondering what they did with your DS for homework. One of the problems that we have now is that the teacher says that she does not have access to what DS is doing on the computer program so she does not give him the same kind of homework. She does give him advanced work, but just random assignments. It would be nice if homework built on what was being learned through EPGY or ALEKS. Does your school do this? How does it work?
As mentioned in the previous post, I produce the homework packet daily based on the work completed in class. In ALEKS this was really easy -- I just created a "custom quiz" and included the problem types (and qty of each) he needed to practice, printed it out (along with the answer key) and -*poof*- homework was ready.
Producing homework for EPGY is a bit more convoluted. Because EPGY has no "create-a-quiz" feature, I simply took screen-caps of any missed problems from the day's session and pasted them into a word-processor. For the times he has needed additional practice, I've resorted to creating problems from scratch and/or finding web-based worksheet generators. The problem generators were especially useful during his extended battle with the 3-digit-long-division-beast-from-hell.
