My child was in RSM honors math from 1st-5th grade, most recently at the Tysons location. DC started to lose interest in the math class and part of it seemed to be the teaching style and the lack of written materials. When it was suggested DC take 2 hrs of algebra and 1 hr of geometry for 6th grade we knew it wasn't a good fit. We moved DC to AoPS where DC's younger sibling had been attending math classes, and DC enjoys it much more. At the placement test, they said that DC already knew some of the pre-algebra concepts but some had not been covered in RSM yet, so they said DC could enroll in either pre-algebra or the geometry class. We opted for the pre-algebra to make sure DC had a good foundation in it before moving to geometry.
DC likes that there's a text book, as well as videos and extra practice problems. I think that is one thing that is good for students as each child learns differently. (My younger child never watches the videos and learns a lot from doing homework assignments are reading the explanations of the ones DC2 gets incorrect.) DC was the only one to get a perfect score on the last pre-algebra test including the extra challenge problems. |
