[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a reasonably bright kid who likes math but whose brain works slow and steady. Would either program work for him? Any other programs people would suggest?[/quote]

RSM has different levels so there is probably a class that fits your child. AoPS has one class level but home content. You can set up an evaluation abd conversation with both programs to see what the say and how you feel about them. You might prefer working at home over a two hour class. [/quote]

AOPS classes move fast.  Everything is condensed into a school year so 9 months.

I don’t know much about RSM but with 3 levels, it might be a better fit for your child.  Or you can consider just doing AOPS beast academy books at your child’s rate over however long you timeline you want but I would not recommend the classes for your child.

Our DS is good in math and picks things up easily.  He scored 97% on MAP.  We started AOPS classes this year, 2nd grade, because school math was just way to easy and not challenging.  I thought it would be pretty laid back since it was just 2nd grade.  But pace is brisk and we were caught off guard the 1st 4-6 weeks with coverage, homework, etc…. DS is doing fine now that we know how things go.[/quote]
