[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Why did you take Math 3 this year after already taking Precalculus last summer? [/quote] I thought my child wouldn't be able to handle geometry over the summer, so I didn't sign him up. But he quickly learned geometry over the school year during 8th grade, and learned algebra 2 in the second semester of 8th grade year. I'm not sure why I didn't sign him up for summer algebra 2 but I didn't, and instead enrolled him in AOPS precalculus during the summer after 8th grade.[/quote] AoPS precalculus is not as rigorous as TJ math 4 & 5. Without TJ math 4&5 or tj calc ab, taking on Tj calc bc may be challenging [/quote] On what basis do you make this claim? I have worked through a large number of problems from the AoPS precalculus book. Many are very difficult, drawing from AIME and other past contests. A select few are from USAMO and/or other olympiads.[/quote] Have you tried working through Math 4&5 problems as well? Aops precalc maybe more indepth on certain topics, but are all of math 4&5 topics covered? Limits, logarithm, etc?[/quote] AoPS is certainly same or more "rigorous" as TJ math, if you do the work. AoPS covers logarithms in Intermediate Algebra (Algebra 2), and Limits in Calculus. A student who skipped AoPS Algebra 2 and didn't do the beginning of AoPS Calculus would be missing TJ 5/6 content. AoPS classes do not have grades like TJ, and rely on the students own motivation to do the work, so a student who merely "took the class", especially a summer cram version of the class, and especially after skipping Algebra 2, is not likely to be well prepared for TJ Calculus.
