DD13 easily finished MUS through precalculus, but instead of continuing on to MUS calculus I'm thinking of moving her to AoPS and digging a little deeper instead of progressing her to college math in early high school. Precalculus is at my limit of ability to teach math effectively. She tests as both ready for and not beyond AoPS Intermediate Counting and Probability and Introduction to Number Theory. She botched a few more questions than I'm comfortable with on the AoPS Precalculus pretest, but I think it's mostly a matter of a few spots of conceptual review. We could brush up on these with Khan and Saxon over the month before the AoPS Precalculus class starts. I'm not sure if independent study or an AoPS online course would be the best fit. As far as scheduling with their online classes, Intermediate Number Theory and Precalculus are both options. Any thoughts on what's the best level of AoPS to start with after MUS Precalculus? Online or independent study?

anyone else?

Awesome, BugsMama! I'm going to do mine to line up with Tapestry of Grace. And yeah, skeeterbug, I'm thinking maybe printable address labels covered with library label protectors (like these: http://www.shopbrodart.com/supplies/labels-protectors-and-bar-coding/protectors/ ) might be the way to go.

Thanks, PentecostalMom! Have you used these? How many come to a sheet? Are they big enough to write on?

bump! :)

That's what I'm looking for: specific recommendations of others' favorite sources/supplies. TY!

I've tried the colored dots (like for marking garage sale items). They don't have enough sticking power! :)

What's your favorite method or product for labeling books? I want color coding & the ability to write on the labels, but I don't necessarily need a label maker...

one more bump!

bump for more feedback! :)

I love MUS, but think it falls a little short on problem solving skills. I think BA would help with that.

Does anyone combine Math U See & Beast Academy? I have one in Epsilon & one in Gamma and I'd like to add BA. I'm wondering if they can both jump in now or if the one in Gamma should wait. Any experiences with these two programs?

thank you! How does your combo look, practically speaking?

you're welcome!

Year 1. This is CHOW, Kingfisher (after the hashmarks), & Ambleside. HTH!
