[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Both programs use online homework portals.

AoPS focuses on advance math only, your child needs to pick up concepts quickly. It encourages more creation use of math. RSM has three levels, the honors track is most similar to AoPS in terms of pacing but it is more traditional math and less creative. RSMs competition program is more similar to AoPS.

DS did the grade level program at RSM  and the math competition until 6th grade. Now, as an 8th grader, he only cries the math competition program. He didn’t need the algebra or geometry class.

We did RSM but in 3rd grade it's just entering answers online. The actual work is in the workbook. I have DS give me his completed workbook work and I enter it on the portal. I don't know when this changes because it does seem like the older kids do more work on the portal. I didn't know you were allowed to be in the competition class without also being enrolled in the grade based class. I was told RSM time commitment goes way up as the child gets older. In middle school you have to take algebra and geometry? Or some other combo of two sections at once.[/quote]
