[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]AOPS 3 is the same curriculum as Beast 3.

Beast workbooks (used in class) have problem types not in the online app.

Some AoPS classes have additional work not in the books. (Maybe only in Prealgebra+)

[b]Maybe your kid needs more L2 geometry but not L2 arithmetic. L2 starts with (disguised) Roman Numerals. [/b]

Beast online lets you do all levels, so skim 2 quickly  and spend more time on the harder parts like geometry, and then go on to 3.

Full year classes are always weak fits. Every kid has different past experience and current ability.

Beast is more advanced than school class. Many kids do it after the school year of same level. 
 A student who finishes Beast 5 will be ready for Prealgebra (Math 8 / AMP 7+) the next school year, which might be 6th or 7th grade depending on your kid's pace. Some students can skip prealgebra and  place into school Algebra after doing Beast 5 and (free!) AoPS Prealgebrs videos and Alcumus at home. [/quote]

OP here. I think you may be right. I just pull out his latest Map score, and it says measurement and data (210), geometry (230), Operations and Algebraic thinking (234) & Numbers and Operations(256). I don't know exactly what you mean by arithmetic, and I don't really understand what those focus area score above mean. I know his strength is addition/subtraction and some multiplication/division, and that is numbers and operations, right? I was told once that he is good on grasping concepts but it was a test done when he was age 4. If anyone can tell me which areas I should skip and which area to work on, that will be great! Thank you.

Measurement and data is rulers, clocks, coins, cups, pounds, and in later years, data charts and statistics.

Geometry is shapes

Operations and Algebraic thinking is word/visual problems and figuring out what calculation you need to solve a problem.

Numbers and Operations is raw calculation, like a calculator does.

But don't split hairs. Just go through 2. If a section is too easy and boring, jump to the next section, if it's still boring, jump ahead more sections in the same chapter.

Beast online has about 12 chapters per level ("year"), with about 15 sections per chapter. [/quote]
