[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have been doing AOPs books at home; intro to algebra, intro to number theory, intro to counting and probability, and intro to geometry.  
In a few months, we will be done.  (We are doing cover to cover, but skip some very difficult Qs).

DC is grade 6.  I am wondering if the intermediate AOPS books may be too difficult for DC. Intermediate books are for high schoolers, right?  Or, can you handle it if you finish the intro books?

Do you have any suggested book that can be in-between the intro and intermediate AOPs books.  It may be good to do easier books for a while, but normal books like Scholastics seem too easy.  Any suggestion?

"We are doing cover to cover, but skip some very difficult Qs" I think the values of those books are the difficult questions, those questions force the kid to think deep and struggle. If you skip some of them (not sure how many), I do not think you have really finished those books. We are doing those books at home as well and we do not skip any questions, it really takes time to finish one book. I let the kid to do all questions, and we do not give hints unless it is absolutely necessary. [/quote]

AoPS book doesn't have non-difficult questions. Starred questions are VERY hard. Especially for young students, it's great to skip them all the first time through and then try them a year or more later.
