butterfly113 Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 For those of you that have used AoPS and Singapore DM together... How on earth do you schedule these out?? :001_huh: I love the thought of working through both of them, as we have loved Singapore and its problem solving... yet I also love the looks of AoPS, especially for helping see the big picture and then the challenge of filling in the details. I know they both are more than sufficient as stand alone curricula, so that is not the question... I have read of several of you having your dc working through a combination of both... so for those of you that have, would you mind sharing more specifically how you have done so??? Do you work through one then the other, or a couple days per week for each? Do you assign all problems?? etc... I am all ears! :bigear: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt_Uhura Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 I think DM is relatively new so not many will have used it. In the other thread, someone posted an AoPS and NEM schedule. You might find that useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katilac Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 are you talking about one of the AoPS "intro" books (algebra, geometry, etc)? b/c these are full curriculum, but the ones just titled Art of Problem Solving are not; they are contest preparation. dd is doing AoPS intro to algebra, and it takes a LOT of time. we've always done more than one program, but I can't imagine doing SM and AoPS at the same time, lol. I was thinking that Right Start Geometry (middle grades) might be suitable, spread over Algebra 1 & 2, a prep for high school geometry. now, dd does do all the problems, including the challenges, but I think I'd rather have her do that than add in a different program. as far as a schedule goes, I have really never scheduled our multiple books in any set way, they just switch back and forth. If they encounter the same topic at different times, all the better, imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSDCY Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 If you want to do both programs, one way of doing it is to do DM first followed by Intro to Algebra. I say this because it's very hard to match up any two algebra programs. Each author has his own preferred sequence of introducing topics, plus, AoPS has a few topics that are not seen in traditional algebra textbooks. Another reason is that I find (at least in ds's case) AoPS easier to digest if done after a traditional program. It's kind of like when kids are first introduced to LEGO. Most of them would follow the instructions to build what they want at least a few times and then they feel comfortable to build their own creations. Just a suggestion for you to think about.:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
