K-12 Course Recommendations by Grade
Please note: After a student takes the initial ALEKS assessment, we recommend moving them to a higher course level if their pie is more than 90 percent full, or moving them to a lower course level if less than 10 percent is complete.
Here are three common sequences of progression through the K-12 mathematics curricula:
