  1. Great! Then I guess they will be together :) According to Jetta DS has to finish Algebra 1 AOPS, so we are trying to cover it. By the way in the end we decided to switch completely to our online private tutor, the one with who DS was doing competitive maths for a few months during this scholastic year, but they will follow the AOPS program. For us its almost the same cost, but it will be more intensive and he teaches my kid to think, not just to solve. They will finish Algebra 1 by August and on the top Ds is also reading Jacobs Algebra and he has finished Life of Fred till Advance Algebra. I guess it will be more than enough :) Thank you for everyone's input and reminding me about pros of live sessions. Much appreciated👍 😉
  2. So you mean it is more wider than just a book program?
  3. DS asked me to enrol for Clover Creek Physics next year and by the rules he has to finish Algebra 1 before the beginning of the course. Plus we wanted to go for a short break between those two courses. oh, well. I feel a bit sad as I think this online class is brilliant and it could fit my kid perfectly, and i really hope that one day they offer better suitable time for Europeans 😥
  4. Thank you to both of you! I think we will do the same and continue working independently too. My apology, but I did not understand your question. What did you mean?
  5. Thank you guys. I see your points and I agree with you, but now I am completely lost if we should take these classes or not. The book is quiet easy and it explains everything very well. Is there any other reason why everyone enrols for classes yet? What are you planning for the next years, a course or independent learning? I am not sure what i have to do now. The course is about to start😓 Oh, no. We have missed the class and there are already 15 people in the waiting list !😞
  6. Due to living in Europe we cannot attend the live classes. Does it worth to follow offline? They say that lots of international students did that way. Is there anyone here who takes them this way? At the moment we are interested in Intro to Algebra & MathCounts/AMC 8 Basic. Many thanks
  7. My youngest ds is being scarred of maths. He cannot even learn timetable well! Everytime I ask him to revise it he starts talking to himself, singing, fulling around but he cannot concentrate at all. The same with simple maths. It is like he has blocked it and doesn't even want to give it a chance to understand! I am still trying to figure out what to do, so I will follow! It's so pity, because he is a very bright kid too, not less smarter than his brother. He has also started to read before 3yo on his own and he is very independent, I have never helped him with his school homework too. Beside my eldest ds is hyperactive and can concentrate and keep focus for long hours and can do thousand of the things, but the little one has a concentration problem instead 😞
  8. They also covered money including bitcoins and cryptocurrencies and in the end of the half year course they created Christmas handmade marshmallows and sold them all by them self in the coffee shop, calculated their profit minus cost and earned eu5 each :) The program is continuing, but ds has dropped it as he thinks he got to know what he wanted to know and the rest he will take from the books and his own project, which he is planning for the next summer together with his brother. The rest of the kids are working on fintech: learning how to create bitcoin and mining.
  9. Sorry, I wanted to answer later and it skipped my mind and I've just remembered after seeing the add of our course😅 so here it goes...
  10. If you won't find anyone I could give a tutor of my son. Although he is Russian, but can explain in English without a problem. He has Phd in Physics-Math from the best Russian University and usually teaches high school and university students level. He also lives in USA, so time won't be a problem too.
  11. thanks for posting. It always helps me to plan and not to miss anything important 🙂 I have updated from the last year in bold and later will do it again, maybe even not once😁 DS10 Ds11 maths - AoPS Intro to Algebra Intro to Counting and Probability and Intro to Number Theory. a variety of books for competitive maths, olympiad maths club- no more. Olympiad maths with a tutor. Competitive chess with tutor plus lots of tournaments - chess came suddenly out of nowhere and and its currently a main activity🤪 Olympiad programming with a tutor - my kid short of time and since it requires intensive work on his own, the most probable he will drops it for now. Hopefully only for now - to continue English - reading + an online course of the creative writing. To continue Science - Physical science, Life science and Earth and Space science. Not sure what to use yet. Maybe Holt Science and Technology. physics, biology and chemistry - I m not sure what exactly he is going to use yet, but he already knows too much. Clover Creek Physics.

  12. Mine kuds watch only one guy so far and it is Mr. Bean. Maybe he is not exactly what you are looking for, but he is kind, although not everytime very gentle😊 and he gets really smart ideas to solve the problems and of course he is very funny. According to the psychos all smart ppl should watch it 🙂
  13. No camps here next summer. The kids are going to have normal sport and academical lessons. They are planning to do a few projects on their on and another one will be assigned by me. Plus a couple of trips abroad with a family and fun by the seaside daily.
  14. I got to know about Fortnite last week. My kids told me everythinng, but before I opened my mouth they added that they are not fans of it. What a relief!🤣
  15. I read this article the other day and I love this boy and his personalities. Amazing chup! I m planning to give it to my eldest kid to read and he will definitely enjoy it as much as me🤗
  16. We have founded very limited. Definitely I won't consider lifetime...sorry
  17. We've just founded a Chinese tutor in our local uni. Thank you everyone for your attention and all the best! 😉
  18. Merry Xmas to everyone and Happy New Year!🎄🎆🍷 Here we come again with our little problem😄 My DS has finally decided that he needs neither Latin nor German, but he definitely wants to learn Chinese and asked me to find an online course/tutor for now, since our local course begins in October. We've recently tried LingoBus, but DS didn't like it, commenting that this course was probably for preschoolers😩. What I didn't like that the lessons are way too short. DS also wants one single teacher for now, as he is shy and it takes him a few minutes to adapt to a new teacher. I was looking for something else, but without any success and I will really appreciate if someone could help us with any info regarding Chinese lessons. Thanks in advance☺️
  19. Agree. Code book is amazing, but it's not very easy. DS10 is reading it slooowly :) Jeremy Kubica has another two books which are fun too :) If no one else reply, I will let you know when we receive them finally.
  20. yes, i can confirm. All the answers in the end for 2017+ edition, but pre algebra 1 and 2 I have second hand editions of 2015 and 2010 respectively and their answers come straight after problems. Uuupps. I didn't know that before, otherwise i would go for the new editions. The intermediate, Fractions and Decimals I bought all 5 of them second hand condition too. we haven't received them yet, but I guess it will be the same. Oh, well. I 'll order new essential lever for my little one at least. Thank you for letting me know 😉
  21. Pre -algebra 0 with physics has the answers in the end of the book, but I am not sure what is Your Turn To Play. I 'll check it out when I am home and ill let you know.
  22. Why did I read your question!?! 😅 We have never used Life of Fred, for some reason we missed it, and after your list I googled it and ordered for my eldest all 3 books of Pre-Algebra. He liked it so much that we almost immediately ordered the previous books, Intermediate level, Fractions and Decimals. Now they asked me to buy all 10 Elementary Books 'cause it's so fun to read😅
  23. I feel for you. It has been a very hard year from the very beginning. We did a few mistakes too, that's why in the next 2019 year we need to slow down for a bit and have a little break. So no plans to reach any stars, just to carry on as usual without any deadlines, stress and pressure, spend more family time together, have fun and travel more.
