AP Exam Misses - Why & What you learned?
mombygrace replied to mirabillis's topic in High School and Self-Education Board
I'll weigh in. I have two who have gone through the AP saga. One didn't do well in APUSH and AP chemistry the first time and the main reason was lack of preparation. We didn't go through the prep books or practice past questions so we were not surprised when the results came in. -
Thank you so much for all the great advice

Thanks for the great ideas. The idea of a lighter load with AMC 8 then AOPS intro to algebra at our own pace if needed is appealing. However, I am a little nervous about doing it without the class since I am not math inclined and don't know if I can keep up with the need to work ahead and be able to answer his questions in the manner needed. I love AOPS and have relearned a lot of math this way but I will readily admit I am not the most intuitive math teacher.

Thanks for the answers so far. I actually noticed him working on alcumus algebra last night. He wanted to see what it was all about.

DS10 just completed AOPS online prealgebra class and is a little intimidated at the idea of starting the algebra class. The class was a good pace and skill but he needed help thinking through some of the challenge problems. Any ideas? Do we continue (we can do alcumus before the start of class), take a break and do zacarro algebra, LOF algebra, AOPS AMC 8 basics (never done any math competition) Any other ideas? Thanks.

AoPS online class schoolwork?
mombygrace replied to raristy's topic in High School and Self-Education Board
My son is taking the online prealgebra 1 class and his textbook assignments are outlined in the top bar of his "my classroom". So each week we read the assigned reading eg. 2.2, 2.3 before the class. We only have the hard copy textbook but I assume it will be the same with the onlie digital text. He does the homework challenge problems, alcumus and the assigned textbook work. -

9th Grade Subjects for an 8th Grader?
mombygrace replied to rosedarul's topic in High School and Self-Education Board
Thanks for sharing this. It is very clear and easily adaptable. -
I wouldn't do both in the same year but another option would be to do them alternate years. CTGE one year, FLL the following year, the corresponding grade in CTGE the next etc.
