ALEKS Math Program
ALEKS is a ground-breaking technology developed from research at New York University and the University of California, Irvine, by a team of software engineers, mathematicians, and cognitive scientists with the support of a multi-million-dollar grant from the National Science Foundation. ALEKS is fundamentally different from previous educational software. At the heart of ALEKS is an artificial intelligence engine that assesses each student individually and continuously.

Aventa Math—http://www.k12.com/
Aventa, K-12 is a leading online curriculum provider in the U.S., with over 2.5 million courses served and exceptionally high satisfaction ratings. Their courses are research-based, designed and developed for online delivery from the outset by a team of curriculum experts, teachers, cognitive scientists and course designers. They begin by developing the learning objectives using state and national standards, then map out strategies to best accomplish the objectives. Materials employ online text, graphics, charts, illustrations, interactive demonstrations, offline reading materials or activities, and interactive online discussions to engage students. Offline experiences include science labs, books, and writing designed to give sufficient practice in key skills that students must master, as well as challenging problems and assignments to develop each student's ability to apply what they've learned in new circumstances. Clear assessment tools measure mastery of lesson objectives, using both online and off-line tasks.
