Monica_in_Switzerland Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 Does anyone use the Alcumus online free thing as a supplement to a different, non-AOPS pre-alg/alg/geo text? How's that working for your kid? Quote
................... Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 Yes. It works for anyone because it teaches you mental and other "tricks" to do math smarter and faster. My guess is that a student not using AOPS will move more slowly through it since they aren't getting a double dose of the special smart ways of thinking through math. But that doesn't really matter - it's worth it no matter how much or little you use. 1 Quote
SparklyUnicorn Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 Yes. We just use it as a supplement. 1 Quote
TarynB Posted February 12, 2016 Posted February 12, 2016 (edited) Yes! My DS uses Alcumus but not AOPS texts. Just as a supplement. He likes it a lot. I don't rigidly schedule it or try to line anything up, he just does Alcumus daily for about 15-20 minutes or until he reaches a point where he wants to stop for the day.

Soror Posted February 12, 2016 Posted February 12, 2016 Too funny that I was just looking at a thread I had started with nearly the same title :) We've not been using it lately just because we've been busy with other things, I need to put it back into our rotation. 1 Quote
