[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid started writing proofs in RSM in 6th grade. Highly recommend supplementing with them. [/quote]

100% agreement, RSM is fantastic. That region of the world knows the value of building a deep conceptual understanding of math. If you are the poster who said your school teaches proofs, good on you for enrolling them in RSM. If not, still waiting to hear what MCPS school actually teaches writing proofs.[/quote]

AOPs is better than RSM in our opinion (more advanced, less repetitive) and it's "American". Plenty of Americans have a deep understanding of math. They just have little influence on educational policies. [/quote]

PP here. My kid did AOPS for ELA. It was good. I personally like RSM because they have different levels. AOPS math is like the hardest RSM level (honors) from what I hear - and that's too intense for my kid. For him, the middle level (advanced) has been great. But I think kids can do well with both.[/quote]
