skimomma Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Checking in with other AoPS Pre-algebra people. Is Chapter 5 slow going for others? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wapiti Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Yes. For at least one of my kids, that was where we did a few lessons in Dolciani and then came back to Aops. It was definitely similar in challenge level to ch 2 for them. I really love the big picture approach in this chapter even though some may need a little more detailed practice with the mechanics. Use the videos here! Wipe out the denominators, LOL. After this chapter, expect relatively smooth sailing :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roadrunner Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 DS, who flew through chapter 2 without blinking, found chapter 5 to be the toughest in the book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AEC Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 this is pretty common. DS, who went through the book first here, had the same issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LinaJ Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Good to know and prepare for a longer time frame for chapter 5. Thank you. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J&JMom Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 (edited) My DS just finished chapter 5 this week after about 3 weeks, which seems right on pace with the online class. Chapter 2 was a nightmare for him and took a week longer than the online class paced for it (3 weeks instead of 2). We also had to spend a few extra days on Fractions (about 5 weeks instead of the 4 planned). Hopefully the rest of the year is smooth sailing as others have reported.
