[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the monthly cost for AoPS?[/quote]

We pay by quarter and I want to say it is about $500, maybe a bit more, for the quarter. That includes the Beast Academy books and practice books.

how much attention did the kids get in class? that's one of the issues I see with Mathnasium. There is not a lot of instruction or 1-1 time.[/quote]

I have not actively listened in to a class for a bit. I have heard the Teacher ask for volunteers to read different parts out of the book. She calls in different students to show how they solved problems and to discuss the different ways to solve the problem. She answers kids questions and has asked specific students if they understand the explanation. I have heard her ask a student to stay on at the end of the class so she can help them with a concept they were struggling with.

It feels like a regular math classroom, it does not feel like tutoring or anything that was individualized. We have no experience with Mathnasium so I cannot compare. DS has not needed help with any of the homework or the like so I am not certain what we would do if he was struggling with something presented in the class.

I have heard kids ask for help and ask questions and say that they do not understand what is being taught. Kids are encouraged to get things wrong and ask for help. The Teacher has been supportive of the kids who need additional explinations, or that is how it has sounded to me.[/quote]

With registration fees, it's at least $1,650 for 36 classes (three quarters). So about $50 per class that lasts 1 hour and 45 min. Or $26 per hour. [/quote]
