[quote=Anonymous] There is always a thread about Russian Math - it's just one of those trends like Singapore math or AoPS (I prefer the latter). As a scientist, I'm all about math, but really - pick the method you like best! There isn't ONE best method. Does it help for college admissions? Only in the broader sense that children are trained in logical thinking and making connection, which informs everything else they do, such as scientific reasoning, reading comprehension for literature and social sciences. But again, there isn't one magic formula, and the worse you can do as a parent is blindly follow trends and torture a child who isn't predisposed to like a certain way of doing math. There are other ways of training logical thinking, like music, chess or the grammar of certain languages such as French or Latin. But they have to be taught seriously, of course.[/quote]
