Laura in STL Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 My son is enrolled in the AoPS online Pre-Algebra class that starts October 16. We start our new school year on August 27. We will be on vacation for one of those weeks, so that leaves me with six weeks to fill. Ds is 12 and beginning 7th grade. He finished Singapore PM 6B in the spring and is working on a couple of 6th grade math/pre-algebra intro workbooks from the teacher store this summer. I'm thinking of having him watch the videos and use Alcumus, but I don't really have a firm plan. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsquirrel Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 How about a Tops unit? Their Math Lab unit is supposed to be lots of mathy fun. It is very hands on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura in STL Posted July 27, 2012 Author Share Posted July 27, 2012 Thanks, I hadn't thought of that. He likes math, so something hands on and fun might work. I'll check it out.:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matilda Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Just start working through the book. The problems that he will have to do for the class are different than the ones in the book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wapiti Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 :iagree: absolutely start. You will be happy to have a little time cushion should you need it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angela in ohio Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Is there any chance he will be interested in competition math? He could work in the AOPS competition books or just try problems you find online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
