[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Continue with RSM or switch to AoPS. APS middle school math instruction is abysmal.[/quote]

Not our experience at all. I’d drop the supplementing and see how it goes. My kids have gotten good instruction (Gunston), and when they occasional don’t understand something, I go over it with them. [/quote]

What curriculum did your child use at Gunston?

(IXL isn’t a curriculum, btw)[/quote]
APS doesn't use a curriculum.  They do have IXL for practice problems.[/quote]

Well, for geometry they used a physical textbook (I don’t recall the author), but not for pre-algebra & algebra. But it wasn’t/isn’t all IXL.. lots of stuff on paper, too. [/quote]

Math education shouldn’t be a gamble — whether your child’s teacher found good resources from Teachers Pay Teachers (or not)[/quote]

It's like this in Virginia because VA doesn't follow common core. So talk to VA, it's APS's fault[/quote]
I think this is an issue in lower elementary, but by the time you get to algebra and geometry those are pretty standard classes. It's just an APS choice not to buy a curriculum for those older grades.[/quote]

This post is about middle school math instruction. Algebra is a high school level class, so is geometry. Those classes do use textbooks as I recall. [/quote]
