bluedarling Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 DD10 completed BA3 in 3rd, then went to ps for 4th. Do I put her back in BA4 for 5th? There are some topics that were covered in ps, but obviously not all of them. She is currently going through MUS Epsilon(5th) at speedy pace (because I have it), and will have finished by the end of the summer. She has done well with BA in the past, but she doesn't love math (she's gifted at it, just doesn't love it--she'd rather do art.) I'm afraid to skip her to BA5 because of topics like probability and exponents that she hasn't covered...but she is also NOT going to like being "behind a grade level" as her reason for wanting to return to homeschool was to accelerate.

Julie of KY Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 I'd start where you left off with Beast Academy - level 4. Even the concepts that she already knows will be worthwhile to do the "Beast" way. Just do it quickly if she wants to move along. You can also move to a 6th grade program alongside Beast if you want (this is what I do with my daughter, but it's because Beast hasn't been published fast enough and she needs more practice). I don't call it a grade level - just book 4, but I do think Beast is called for a certain grade which isn't my favorite way of labeling. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoubleTime Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Thought I'd mention that the Beast Academy website has assessments you can give your child to see where to begin/ if they're ready for a certain level-- it's a good way to see what skills are missing if you want to use 5A but want to do some targeted learning in the 4 level before you move on... https://www.beastacademy.com/resources/assessments.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
