Teaching company math videos. Physics math problems. Some other branch of math - probability, combinatorics, number theory... Ed Zaccarro's book - 10 Things every Scientist and Mathematician Should Know.

I'm not sure what you wanted to do, but I did want to throw one more comment out there. IF you take them out of school, make sure you know what your options are as far as if you are committing to the rest of high school as homeschooling or if you can later put them back it. In some states/school districts, public schools will not accept homeschool credits and therefore if you pulled your child out for one or two years and then tried to put them back in, the school system would want to classify them the same as when they left and not count your credits at all. There are lots of dynamics and I wish you the best in sorting out what is best for your kids.

I think you have to take each child individually. Separate math and handwriting practice. Some kids can "practice" writing out longer problems and you can require a certain number to be neatly done. For others this is impossible. My oldest is very gifted in math and also severely dysgraphic. I have scribed for him for years. At the same time he was working on algebra 2 and geometry, he was practicing writing his name small enough to fit on one page. He is working on advanced math and does almost all of it in his head. I make him dictate some of the problems to me to scribe correctly showing all the steps. He is beginning to write some of his work (as in he can't keep it all in his head). His numbers are huge and he doesn't show all the steps, just enough to keep it straight in his head. It's his scratch work. He qualifies for a scribe and will need one. For proof style problems, I have him dictate to me and I scribe and then he types up the proof. (These are proofs for USAMTS and other such - not just daily work).

Transfer now. Report this to both the pack leadership and someone at the council level. If you are not sure what BSA thinks of safe scouting or if you should report, then I'd encourage you to take the free 20 min internet course - Guide to Safe Scouting. It is required of all leaders and recommended for all parents of scouts.

I think it is worthwhile to follow your "mom instincts". Even if they don't find anything "wrong", the evaluation can be very helpful to learn his strengths in learning and to give you direction.

Looks cool to me.

If you have partial mental health coverage, then testing may be covered under the umbrella of testing for ADHD, etc. along with learning disabilities.

I don't see any value in memorizing the periodic table, though I know many people do it and many test on it. Through repeated use I can rattle off many of the elements, atomic numbers and atomic weights to multiple decimal points, but this has been learned by repeatedly looking it up. Memorizing the periodic table does nothing for understanding chemistry concepts and I think the time can be much better spent learning something else.

I think it is fine to start Beast after SM 2b. If he hates to be challenged, then Beast will probably not be a good fit. Otherwise, I'd give it a try - I think it is more conceptual and more challenging than SM, but many kids enjoy the challenge of solving the puzzles, etc. in Beast Academy.

If she completes geometry during the high school years, then put it on the transcript. Use the above suggestions for assigning a grade.

I've seen the Math in Focus books for the public schools - I'm not sure if there is a separate text for homeschoolers. I am preferential to the traditional Singapore math books.

AoPS does not currently have a statistics course. I'm using The Practice of Statistics by Stearns, Yates and Moore.

Does your insurance cover psychological testing (or have mental health services)? Mine pays 100% of the cost of neuropsych testing after we have met our dedeuctable - which we keep doing with surgery, broken bones, etc.

There are free videos on the Art of Problem Solving website - they have done videos that correspond to prealgebra and algebra. Not sure if this would help, but it's free.

I agree to take biology, chemistry and physics. Some schools will want a fourth science - it can be a second year of any science or a separate high school level science altogether.

AoPS calls the Int. Algebra class Algebra 3 in their school classes. The Int. Algebra book covers many algebra 2 topics to a greater depth and goes further into algebra. On my transcript, I will call it Algebra 3 and give the course description as listed on the AoPS website.

Hugs and prayers.

I love SL for open and go for the younger years. For the older cores, I do more pick and choose. Some of the books in Core 100, I think are way to young for that core. I also think it has way too much emphasis on historical fiction and less meat as the cores go up. I use something else for literature, though i use a lot of the same books as SL chooses.

Your looking at a 6 month period of time - not forever. I'd keep up with things that build on itself like math. Consider his strengths and weaknesses - are there areas that need daily practice like spelling or is he a good speller. I try to prioritize math and English and I'll let other things slack if needed. Don't only do the hard school work, but do some fun stuff as well - read-alouds, experiments, etc. Don't fret too much over not getting everything done. He's 11 and has lots of time to learn science, history, etc. Keep your eyes on the goal and remember that you can't add all this therapy without cutting something.

I was also going to suggest a tutor to evaluate where the holes are and maybe help you get through them. At that point any option is good to procede forth with math.

In addition to what Regentrude said, I'd add that they need to be proficient at order of operations and distributing over parenthesis - including distributing a negative over parentheses.

It's enough for private Christian schools.

No, but I have no trouble mastering them on my own. I do pay for things that I think will help me teach my kids more effectively.

We are liking the Chang chemistry text. From what I've researched, the Brown, Zhumdahl, or Chang texts would all be good choices.

I read the Art of Problem Solving textbook to my dyslexic. He then does all the problems on his own. I have no idea if AoPS is really what you need, but it caters to those talented math students.
