[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parent here who had her high school sophomore son take the online algebra 3 class this summer. He’s getting jumped to advanced precalc next year so I wanted him in very solid shape for an advanced class. Besides, it’s been a dull Covid summer.

AOPS was new to us and a very nice complement to his school year Algebra 2 class that was more rote problem sets. He likes the online class work with immediate feedback. The class also teaches him to reach out to chat, textbook, even YouTube to answer questions. My one problem that he thinks he needs to make an 90% on AOPS problem sets but it’s really too hard. He got upset until I reminded him that for improving precalc algebra skills, the AOPS has been exactly what we wanted.

With school starting I’m sure we’ll get even less done on AOPS. But the class has served its purpose of increased skill at theoretical math without burnout. [/quote]

Just a little more detail, my son really likes math and enjoys solving problems. He’s testing very high at school. The big AOPS adjustment was to accept they he might not get every problem correct, like he does in HS. Long term I think this a good attitude towards math. But AOPS is not a remedial or even average level class, it’s for kids with a strong interest in math. [/quote]
