greenmamato3 Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 are there any families that have found Beast Academy to fit well into a particular level of RS Math? i tried to schlog through the 50-some-odd pages of posts about beast academy guinea pigs and .... well, here i am just starting a new thread :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crimson Wife Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 BA appears like it will be do-able to a student who has completed the subtraction section of RS C. I'm considering starting my DS on BA after he gets through that part of C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celia Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 We're on about lesson 120 in level C of RS, and there's some overlap with BA, which we've just started. I'd say 1/2-2/3 through C would be a good point to make the switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenmamato3 Posted June 2, 2012 Author Share Posted June 2, 2012 my DD is at the end of B; DS just finished D {and excited about E}. i was thinking of taking some "time off" from RS for fun group math sessions, featuring beast 3A, RS favorite games, some other mathy-games we have on hand some hands on equations, some crew ton ramone vids, and maybe even some MEP. i figure DD being in RS-B is probably too young for BA 3A but at least she can be nearby. she's not spatially wired up like DD is. having finished RS-D, do you think Beast 3A would be too easy or just build from the ground up, and goa bit faster if it is "too" easy .... also, i was wondering if anyone might offer commentary as to which MEP levels sync well with RS levels. i've been such a RS devotee for the last 5 years, i haven't even "dated" anybody else's math program, except the Living Math books, which we enjoy! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripe Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 I've read the whole BA guinea pig thread, and I don't think there was a lot of talk about RS in it. I'm not sure there was any, frankly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure there was any, frankly.Actually, I posted my experience with RS and BA in that thread. DD finished with RSC and she immediately started BA. I think it was a great time to start BA. There is some overlap. Having already covered some of the material in RS has given her confidence to delve into BA. We are using BA only as a supplement.

greenmamato3 Posted June 2, 2012 Author Share Posted June 2, 2012 if using BA as a supplement to RS-C, did you find you went a few days/week in each one, or just a few weeks in one and then at a natural pause point, you switched to the other? or was it even that predictable? another question, do you think a child going in to RS-E would need to start with BA-3a? what if i wanted to just supplement RS-B with MEP {for variation} until she could transition over to RS-C and the BA combo?? advice?? i don't know anything about MEP and after spending about 30 min on their site last night, i got REALLY discouraged with not being able to ascertain where to even begin. :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
