Halcyon Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 We are seriously considering this course for my ds12. Thoughts? how fast is the course? The books looks super fun and ds has done the sample chapter. thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie of KY Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 My oldest loved this book. We did not do it as the online class. AoPS online classes tend to move quickly and we like to go at our own pace. If you go at your own pace you can go as quickly or slowly as you want. We did it as a mix with all four AoPS intro books and just worked through a chapter of every book once per month. It was a slower pace for C&P, but overall a rapid pace of math.

wapiti Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 There are also videos for this book. They're older, IIRC, and not as fun as the newer videos, but might be helpful for doing the book without the course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halcyon Posted February 11, 2015 Author Share Posted February 11, 2015 yea, he really, really wants a live course. I am just concerned about the pace. thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckymama Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 If you are concerned about the pace, why not have him wait for a section beginning in the summer? He wouldn't have his regular workload to deal with then :) Dd took the AoPS geometry class from March through September one year. It was really nice to have those (relatively uncluttered) weeks in June and July! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LivingHope Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 My ds12 is finishing this course tonight. He loved it. Well, he loves all things AoPS. The first two weeks were a challenge, but he got into a rhythm. He feels that C & P was a bit more challenging than his previous AoPS Algebra 1 course.
