[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP.  We have been doing AOPS's Contest Math for Middle School (small paperback) after the intro series.  It was a good book to practice, but DC is sick of it (we repeated the missed questions up to 4 times).  Then, I randomly purchased from Amazon Learn or Review Trigonometry Essential Skills, but it is too easy.

DC is not math genius, and we are not that interested in pushing for the contest math direction.  DC recently took AMC8 at school though.

I looked at the AOPS's Intermediate Algebra book, and it seems too difficult/unnecessary.  Alcumus is recommended, and we will do, but I am looking for a next book to work on.

Is AOPS's precalculus book a bad idea (wondering this book may be easier than Intermediate Algebra?), or do you recommend just repeat Intro to Algebra book for a second round?

If Khan Academy / school math is too easy, and AoPS is too hard / unmotivating, maybe your kid is good enough at math for their level of interest, and should focus on other interests like science.
