[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS enjoyed his 3rd grade AoPS class. He didn't seem to struggle with anything as it was presented and did well on the quarterly assessments. He enjoyed the homework assignments and the games that they had on the site. He enjoys math and does well in math class at school, although he finds it boring.

I have no idea if he is gifted in math or not. I do know that he like AoPS and never seemed lost with the material. He had classmates who the Teacher asked to stay online when the rest of the class logged off because the child said they were still confused. They covered topics that were not covered in his class at school.

We are moving to Russia School of Math this year because it is closer to our house by a lot. The RSM assessment seemed to be pretty similar to the AoPS assessment except that RSM has three different levels to place kids into based on its assessment. The Teacher handling the assessment said most kids are placed in one of the first two levels when they are starting out because the assessment shows that the kids need to firm up some foundational skills.  The Teacher displayed problems, DS answered them and explained his solution to the Teacher. At the end of the assessment the Teacher presented a few new concepts to DS. The Teacher explained the solution and then DS answered a bunch of questions based on what the Teacher had just taught. I like the idea that there are different levels because that means that if DS gets to a point where he is struggling with some concepts, there is a place for him to move that will help him build those skills.  Mainly we like that we will have a much shorter commute.[/quote]

This is helpful, thank you!! My Dc also actually enjoyed the RSM assessment and came away with a new skill. Hoping it is a good fit. [/quote]
