[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a fan of AoPS as a supplement to school, but if school covered everything in the textbook, it wouldn't fall too short of AoPS in core content. AoPS provides extra hard challenge problems, but the theory and proof isn't so different, and the textbook has real-world applications that AoPS ignores.... at least for Geometry. [/quote]What's AoPS?[/quote]

Its a private tutoring company like Kumon, this poster constantly pushes it.[/quote]

?
AoPS is a book and class company. It's not tutoring, and it's not like Kumon.

For classes with teachers,  Kumon classes do supervised self-paced sequence of worksheets (kids in the room do different material) with staff support, like resource/study hall in school.

AoPS runs muti-month group classes (all kids in class do the same material) that run at a fixed pace, like a school class.

But that's not the topic of this thread.

For, this thread, books,  AoPS sells textbooks with teaching and problems (and workbooks for grades 1-5), while Kumon sells workbooks of practice problems.
AoPS has books for grade 1 through calculus, while Kumon sells workbooks for grades K-8 including some algebra and geometry. (Kumon has higher level math worksheets but doesn't sell books of them)
