WafflyToaster Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 My 6th grader is finishing up Jacobs' Algebra this year, so we want him to move ahead with Geometry next year. I'm considering the Duke TIP course, and I'd like to know if anyone has used it. I bought Jacobs' Geometry AND the Jurgensen text the TIP course uses. The TIP course is appealing, because I'd like to have a little more interaction with him on the topics. When I tried working through the Jacobs lessons with him, it was just kind of annoying and slowed him down, but now we have very little interaction, except for corrections, so our interactions are frustrating. Basically, I'm leaning toward TIP/Jurgensen, but I'd love to hear other options. He needs something that is challenging and proof-intensive. He doesn't have trouble grasping math concepts at all.

wapiti Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 The most challenging and proof-intensive option would be AoPS (with or without the on-line course; the on-line course includes a weekly problem set that may be even harder than the book - not sure). I have Jurgensen as well. I like the format. I don't know anything about the Duke TIP course. AoPS is more suited to my dd and that is what she is asking for (to use with a teacher from her school); keeping fingers crossed that we can work that out. Jurgensen is my back-up request.
