[quote=Anonymous]Here we go! Diving into supplementing my rising 6th grader to fill in the gaps left by covid and a chaotic 5th grade. Looking for any and all feedback into programs and resources. My kid is I’d say naturally high average in math but is the type not to learn unless given a lot of structure, which has been sorely lacking.

Prior to the pandemic we did AOPS in person for a while - that seemed to work but it’s probably not practical for us to get all the way to Virginia now (or to the burbs for Russian math). We do have a Mathnasium in the neighborhood. I’m willing to hire a tutor but I think I’d like to try other routes first.

For my particular kid, small chunks of daily focus are likely to be most effective.

I guess the first question I should answer is how should I assess what he needs? I am fairly certain his math facts are weak. Do I just get the 5th grade curriculum and see what skills it covers and look for resources that repeat them?

My goal is for him to be well prepared for Algebra in 8th grade so I don’t have any aspirations for super acceleration. (I got accelerated in math and I don’t think it helped me.)[/quote]
