I have set up an assignment in ALEKS. This should take only a few minutes to complete. I have also set up Quick Tables. This is the program we are using instead of Xtramath. The initial assessment takes some time, but does not need to be completed in one sitting. We will be accessing ALEKS and our math ebook during school as well.
