My son has been mostly enjoying AOPS pre-algebra this year. He enjoys the weekly class and the alcumus/challenge problems and can complete them all each week. He hasn’t gotten into looking in the text book at all, and has preferred going back to the beast academy style comics instead. He is still on the younger side, so perhaps he’s just not as ready for a more academic setting.
I have been extremely impressed with the content of the course and the thought provoking questions that AOPS creates. So thankful for everyone who suggested Beast/AOPS for mathy kids! It has been such a blessing to find fun math. I was initially surprised by the delivery mechanism of the class...basically a message board, but it is actually quite effective for the lessons.
