[quote=Anonymous]RSMs pre-algebra honors was boring for my 6th grader and they would not move him into the algebra class. It really depends on your kid. He dropped the grade level class but continued on in math competition. If you have a 4th grader in 5th grade RSM, we did as well, the regular classes are less engaging, even at the honors level. The competition math classes teach algebra, geometry, number theory, probability, statistics and other math concepts that are not taught in regular classes. The math is far more challenging, DS needs help with problems on occasion, which makes it more engaging. It allows kids to be creative with math and understand that math is not as black and white as regular classes make it seem. There are multiple correct ways to solve the problems, which they discuss in the class. What is it you want your child to get out of the class? Learning the material and getting a good grade or developing stronger math instincts. [/quote]
