Level 2 Math
Description
The books used in this course correspond approximately to what would be taught in a second grade gifted math program at a traditional school.
We use the fun and rigorous Beast Academy books for elementary math. (The name comes from the storyline of the textbooks, in which material is presented through comics about a school for monsters.) This curriculum is produced by Art of Problem Solving, which typically offers a higher level of challenge and more in-depth presentation of the material than most American math courses. We think this is a good thing. However if the math coursework proves too challenging, we recommend delaying its introduction for up to six months, or progressing more slowly than the curriculum default.
Beast Academy is Art of Problem Solving's curriculum for grades one through five. Textbooks are in a comic / storybook format and episodes introduce concepts that are then practiced in the workbook.
Despite the playful presentation, Art of Problem Solving is a rigorous curriculum (often used to prepare for math competitions) whose approach focuses on understanding underlying concepts, rather than memorizing mechanics.
