kokotg Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 Anyone done the Math Dad pre-algebra? Thoughts? My 4th grader is doing Beast Academy 5 now (just started it a couple of months ago, so he won't finish until at least sometime in fall). I'd always figured he'd try AOPS pre-algebra after that, but then he found the Math Dad vs. Science Mom videos the other day and watched all of them within 24 hours, so I'm wondering if the Math Dad class might be more engaging. Combining them somehow would be too much math, yes? Even for a very mathy kid? I'd been planning on just having him do the book on his own with AOPS (or, well, on his own/with his dad as needed, who's a math teacher, so also a math dad), but the live class I guess is another option to consider.

I asked DH about it and he says he's not familiar with it but is a big fan of Desmos in general. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amiesmom Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 They announced recently that they are not doing an Algebra 1 class this coming year because they did not have enough interest. They may in the future, but it's not a guarantee. So you may want to take that into consideration. That said, I have not used their math courses, but we are big fans of their science classes and will continue using them for as long as we can. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That definitely tilts things in AOPS favor (although I've had 3 kids go through Jacobs Algebra with good results so far, so that's another option after math dad if we go that way) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
