daijobu Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 We're doing AOPS PreAlgebra at home, without the online class. I'm trying to figure out how to pace the book. Doing one section each day (1.2, 1.3, 1.4,...) seems too fast. We tried that in chapter one, and retention was not so good. Dd is in 5th grade and relatively mathy, as is Mom. I don't have her read and do the problems on her own. We read and work through them together at the white board. Then she does the exercises on her own, and we review them together at the white board. I am considering reviewing the problems at the start of a section on one day, then have the student do the exercise problems for the same section the following day. At the end of each chapter, spend one day on review problems and another day on challenge problems. How much do you have your student do each day? Thanks! --Vida Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daijobu Posted May 6, 2012 Author Share Posted May 6, 2012 After doing this for several weeks, I realize you are totally correct. It is really hard to plan each week, so I just play it by ear depending on how she's getting it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
