he's done the things in the test for AoPS and could pass that test but i just looked through the beast stuff and theres stuff in there we have not done. thanks for your help, i think we'll go through some of the assessments for Beast Academy tomorrow so i can see how he does with it. i think we'll probably end up starting somewhere in that progression rather than push forward to AoPS with out having all of that covered. i think he'd like it too.
i looked at an intro to Singapore math a while back and i was LOST, i don't think i could have wrapped my head around it if someone was paying me to. someone else is going to have to teach him that stuff. =)
thanks again!! i know how busy you guys must all be and i appreciate so much everyone taking the time out to offer us some advice, it's made a big difference for us already.
