Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Recommended Resources AOPS online Geometry Course

DD 12 is ready for Geometry but her school does not offer it so we are looking at an on-line course. We like Alcumus and think we might put her in their Geography course.

I'd love input from anyone who's familiar with their on-line courses, esp. Geometry.

Thank you!

My son's experience is that the AoPS courses are a ton of work. But you also learn SO MUCH MORE and SO MUCH DEEPER than if you take the regular math courses in high school.

Can I ask what folks did before AoPS, when their mathy kids were younger?

Here's one thread from when my DS was younger and I was asking advice, that you may find useful:

There were these things call MATH BOOKS. And if you live in a urban area around a university found tutors. In the late 1970's my husband was tutored in most of High School math by math graduate students. And then started taking classes at a university in math at 13/14. My uncle in the late 1950's bought math books and taught himself.

Haha, blue magic!

Colinsmum, thank you!

There is Beast Academy by AoPS for the younger kids. It is new and has a great reputation, but doesn't have all grades yet.

Thanks, SAHM. We are starting those soon!

Thanks everyone. I'll go check out that earlier thread now.
