[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, he will get more bang for buck doing competition level math and winning some awards than geo over the summer....both for meeting his IQ potential and getting ahead in life.[/quote]
do both, summer geo and go through free resources (avoid paid) for competition math[/quote]
If student is in year round math enrichment, then summer geometry is merely a review of what they already know. DC did summer geometry, and then took Algebra 2 full year and outperformed many other 9th graders. Even at TJ, started with precalculus courses (math 4 & 5) which went smoothly. It truly depends on your student and how much math practice they put in and efficient habits they've developed since elementary school.[/quote] Which math enrichment was he in?[/quote]

DS attends RSM math competition program and RSM grade level math class. He is dropping the grade level math class because it moves too slowly, he learns more in the math competition class. The math competition class teaches more Algebra and Geometry starting in 4th grade. He is taking an AoPS math competition class this summer. It is online and he will miss a few sessions but he will have access to the notes and problems.

AoPS has math competition classes and regular classes. Everyone on this board has heard about Curie. There are a a lot of places to go for enrichment that is interesting and challenging.

DS happens to enjoy the math competitions and the types of problems they present. They are more thought puzzles that use math then straight word problems. The math competition classes present a variety of topics, Algebra, Geometry, Math Theory, and the like because those are the types of questions that appear on the math competitions. They are challenging and fun, well fun for him, to work. It is my personal version of hell but math is not my strength. He loves it. [/quote]Can you post a review of the AoPS class vs RSM competition classes after he finished his summer class? Is he taking geometry at the same time? Is he on the school's math team?[/quote]
