Math teacher back.  I never said it was for foundational skills.  I said that the program is about 90% (the other poster said 75% but I think it is around 90%) quick math cheats and tricks, and 10% real, enriching mathematical and concept-building experiences.  If that's what you're about then go for it.[/quote]

What grade level do you teach?  Are you even familiar with the higher level AoPS classes, or are you basing your view on Beast Academy?  I'm a physicist, and I'm incredibly impressed by AoPS.  I disagree wholeheartedly with your impression of AoPS.  My kids have a very rich understanding of problem solving and mathematical principles thanks to AoPS.  [/quote]

I have a doctorate in hard math.  Yes, I have seen AOPS.  Not impressed.  It is all quick tricks with no depth.  If you're impressed then I am sure that is saying something.  I don't know what, but it is saying something.  Glad your kids are enjoying the experience.[/quote]
