how much work outside of the class meeting time is expected? RSM gives mandatory homework and optional quests that are more challenging. How long the HW takes depends on the kid. Mine averages about an hour a week. I understand it takes some kids 2-3 hours a week depending on the assignment, It depends on the grade (and level within the grade). My 7th grade DD does algebra, geometry and math competition classes at RSM, and the homework (for all three) takes 2-3+ hours a week. The math competition homework seems to be much harder, and she often doesn’t do all of the problems. In the earlier years, homework took less time. My 4th grade DD, who is in the hardest section, takes about 1-2 hours to finish homework. |
Is there an admission process of Art Of Problem Solving? My kids are above average but not gifted-both in AAP. We joined AoPS after the first quarter. DS, third grade, had a Zoom evaluation with a Teacher. She asked him to solve problems and then to explain how he solved the problems. She wanted to give him tips for completing the problems in a different way but he had used the techniques she was going to walk him through. He jumped right into the AoPS class for third graders with no real issues. The class has homework, it takes him about 20-30 minutes to complete the homework. We have him complete it on Mondays since he finishes his asynch days. I will say that you need to choose your class day and time carefully, we were told that we could not change classes due to a conflict. We choose a day that we knew would not conflict with his sports and other activities. So far it has been all virtual but we will continue when it returns to in person. I can find a coffee shop to hang out at while he attends class. He really enjoys it. He likes the math games that are included in the homework and he enjoys the class period himself. It is more challenging and we like the problem solving element of it. |
Russian Math has two tracks, one for normal kids and one for high-performing ones. I believe AoPS is smarties only. I am not sure about that for AoPS. There is an evaluation but I don't know if they don't accept kids or simply place them in the appropriate class even if it is lower then their current grade level. |
Just fyi, RSM has three levels within a grade. |
Anyone have experience with Mathnasium and then AoPS or RSM? We are not super happy with Mathnasium but AoPS seems intimidating. My kids are in advanced math but neither is a math genius. |
Anyone have experience with Mathnasium and then AoPS or RSM? We are not super happy with Mathnasium but AoPS seems intimidating. My kids are in advanced math but neither is a math genius. I thought that AoPS would be more over the top then it is. It does move at a good pace but the Teacher has been great about helping kids and meeting with kids who were struggling a bit with the concept after the class. She picks kids to walk through how they approached the problem, and there are normally a few different approaches. The program encourages kids to try and tells them it is fine to get the wrong answer and ask for help. I have been impressed. |
Bumping. Trying to decide between these two (aops/rsm). Does anyone have any dislikes to help decide? Are any teaching methods better? |
It is shameful how parents are not letting their kids have a normal life and forcing them to learn Math. Tsk, Tsk. Also, this is cheating and dishonest and opportunity hoarding and elitist. Your kids will have mental problems and will become depressed and hurt themselves and other.... (OK, this is what y'all would have said if it was an Asian-American run prep and tutoring school - LOL) |
Mathnasium worked for my kids when they were younger 7-11. One was advanced, one was on pace, the third needed help. So it was convenient to take them to one place where they could work on their different concerns. As they got older and stronger in math, Mathnasium was less helpful. |
Just fyi, RSM has three levels within a grade. Interesting. So both my kids are in advanced math in FCPS, both get 4s, and they both just tested one grade below in AoPS. |
My kid did AOPS for two years. He is gifted in Math and attended a magnet program. We didn’t continue after the second year because he is not a self starter. He was not sticking to the completing the homework. AOPS is definitely for gifted children. It would be a mistake to send an above average child there. It would require a lot of parent involvement. I have had friends borrow our books so that is something you could try as well. |

Bumping. Trying to decide between these two (aops/rsm). Does anyone have any dislikes to help decide? Are any teaching methods better? We have only done AoPS and have enjoyed it. DS is in third grade, Advanced Math and was placed in the third grade class. He has enjoyed the classes. I am hoping that next year will be in person instead of virtual, even though that adds commute time and requires I find a coffee shop to hang out in while he is in class. |

RSM and AoPS are really different from each other. My RSM kid wouldn't really like AoPS, and my AoPS kid wouldn't have liked the video format. I do have one kid who has done great in both, though. The AoPS are a lot more puzzly than RSM, IMO. You could also just have your kiddo do a few Alcumus problems each day.
report. 09/23/2020 13:38. Subject: Art of Problem Solving vs Russian School of Math. quote. Anonymous. We did AOPS prealgebra, as well as Mathnasium and Fairfax Collegiate math. AOPS was definitely the most rigorous, although I would hesitate to enroll DS during the school year because it is a lot to cover.
Offline. Anonymous wrote: DP, but from what I can tell, a main difference between AoPS and RSM is how they handle the very advanced students. In AoPS, the kid tests into and takes class with a higher grade level. This can be a bit socially awkward, though, since the kid won't have a peer group of similar aged kids.
RSM is probably takes everyone and just place them on different levels. report. 03/15/2018 07:29. Subject: ... Does anyone have any experience with Art of Problem Solving vs Russian School of Math or for that matter other programs that use out of the box approaches? Both programs seem very rigorous (or at least different) compared to more ...

It isn't exactly in the style of AoPS but it might suit your needs. It's very well written with a lot of problems to solve. The Feynman Lectures on Physics. Physics: Principles with Applications (7th Edition) by Douglas Giancoli: https://amzn.to/3PQA4oj. Hi there, In mathematics, there are books called "The Art of Problem Solving".
At AoPS, we understand that every student learns a little differently. That's why we've designed our K-12 programs for varied learning preferences, age ranges, difficulty levels and subject matter. We offer four distinct program offerings for students ages 6-18.
The RSM education system typically follows a traditional teaching approach, which may not cater to all learning styles. Students who require more hands-on or interactive learning experiences might struggle with this system. Besides, you should check out Beestar. It is an online math resource and I have heard that it is good and effective.
As you know, Art of Problem Solving includes 11 books that comes with their solutions and they are PreAlgebra, Introduction to Algebra, Introduction to Counting and Probability, Introduction to Geometry, Introduction to Number Theory, Intermediate Algebra, Intermediate Counting and Probability, Precalculus, Calculus, Problem Solving Volume 1: The Basics, Problem Solving Volume 2: And Beyond

Their math problems are abstract. Their classes are large and mostly online at present, though some return to in person is envisioned for next year. Parental help is required, at least for the younger kids, because their homework problems are hard. Russian school of mathematics tests the kids and can place them at various levels, either online ...
RSM teaches math in a more traditional manner then AoPS does. DS enjoyed both programs but would choose AoPS over RSM if AoPS was closer. That said, we asked if he wanted to continue with RSM next year and he said yes without any hesitation. RSM does have math competition as an option, it is a separate class that kids can test into.
Procedural Approach vs. Conceptual Approach. Saxon Math relies on example and repetition. It is "procedural" in nature. Your student will be presented with a new concept, shown how to understand it through a series of steps, and then will practice the concept over and over. AoPS is primarily "conceptual" in its approach.

7. The top row of the map consists of our core curriculum, which parallels the standard prealgebra-to-calculus school curriculum, but in much greater depth both in mathematical content and in problem-solving skills.
