Mozwo Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Anyone planning to take the new Stretch Algebra class with AOPS? We are debating on that vs. the regular Algebra for our DS 10 who is finishing up Pre- Algebra 2 with AOPS. We attended the math jam on the class this Tuesday and are intrigued by the new format of 2 hour class with one hour instruction and one hour problem solving. Apart from the 2 hour class, they will cover the similar content in 22 weeks with stretch vs 16 weeks for regular course. It feels like the pace will be more like Pre algebra than their other courses? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadrunner Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Did they say if they are going to have stretch algebra B as well to follow up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mozwo Posted August 20, 2015 Author Share Posted August 20, 2015 Did they say if they are going to have stretch algebra B as well to follow up? Yes, they will have Algebra B as well but next one to follow is Counting and Probability in Spring. They are looking to gradually offer the stretch courses based on demand and feedback. The release path will follow their recommended course sequence 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiana Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Oh, this is great. There are people who have been wanting and needing this for students who need a challenge but not quite the breakneck pace of regular. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiverpoolFan Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 I like the second session where you can discuss and learn how to solve a specific problem with instructors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
