Spend some money on this. Buy courses taught by James Sellers. Math, Algebra 1 and Algebra 2. https://www.thegreatcourses.com/courses/mastering-the-fundamentals-of-mathematics.html 5) http://www.beestar.org/ for worksheets and resources. [/quote] For parents (K-12) who are unsure about the Math competency of their kids, ALEKS is a great tool to for the following - assessment of content knowledge, tutoring in the area of need and reassessment to check for content mastery. In other words, this website does all - it figures out what your kid does not know and then teaches it to them till they master it. I would give it higher marks than any tool or tutoring service in the market right now. A boon for busy parents and it is very inexpensive. As long as your kid does the work, you should see significant results. Another useful tip - many institutes of higher learning are also using ALEKS for placement of their students in Math. [i] Assessment and LEarning in Knowledge Spaces is a Web-based, artificially intelligent assessment and learning system. 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 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. ALEKS courses are very complete in their topic coverage and ALEKS avoids multiple-choice questions. A student who shows a high level of mastery of an ALEKS course will be successful in the actual course she is taking. ALEKS also provides the advantages of one-on-one instruction, 24/7, from virtually any Web-based computer for a fraction of the cost of a human tutor.[/i][/quote]
