[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can enroll in AoPS for a quarter at a time. We did it during the school year and are not doing it during the summer. DS is completing 3rd grade. He enjoyed it and it challenged him but he loves math. He plays math games with his Dad and enjoys developing his own math problems in different bases. The program is not going to teach the basics of math in a traditional manner but shows a lot of different “tricks” for solving problems and different approaches to math problems. It is called the Art of Problem Solving for a reason. DS is too young to have gotten involved in the competitions and stuff yet but they sound interesting.

I can see where it would not be for everyone but my kid has been enjoying it.

It sounds like [b]Russian School of Math, I think that is the name, is more geared towards kids who need to work on fundamentals and practice[/b]. It has several levels for each grade so kids can work at a pace that works for them. We have not tried them but I have read posts from people who have used them and like them. [/quote]

RSM is more flexible in that each grade has three levels, which include both fundamentals and advanced/honors tracks.  The honors track is every bit as creative and advanced as AoPS.  We've done both, and love both. They both require a comfortable facility with quick computation to get to the fun part of math.[/quote]
