I own an older version of Jurgenson Geometry. I keep reading about others using a variety of online programs. Most are unaffordable for us, such as WHA. However, we could pay for Duke Tip. I am mostly worried about paying for it and my child hating it. But since everyone is using an outside program and this is my oldest child and I have several younger children, I don't have a ton of time to devote to teaching this. Although I am competent at teaching geometry. I used to be a secondary education math teacher and the last year I taught was maybe five years ago. Time is simply a big issue here. Also, he wants to be an engineer or software developer eventually. He is not good with frustration.
I had thought we might try out Jurgensen's Geometry and if we do not like it, switch to something else. I had kind of wondered by no one suggests Math U See for geometry. Should I just go forward and purchase the Duke Tip program? We already started the geometry this week. Of course no problems yet.
Also, I would not mind reviews of other programs if you have something else you prefer or that has worked for you.
Edited to add: Saxon. Saxon Geometry was the other one I saw. But I already picked up from the used book store (called Half Priced Books) Forester's Algebra and the second Forester's Algebra book.
Edited to add: Duke Tip dropped their program for geometry.
Oddly, we used this same book this year and my son has lost a lot! We have been working through Keys to Algebra trying to pick up all the gaps that seem to have been forgotten. I am wondering now if it is the book or program. I did not closely supervise him, but I did grade his papers and teach him the lessons he did need. He did do the chapter tests all along. But then we took a 6 weeks break. Came back to finish chapter 12 and pick up from there to finish the book and it was like he forgot everything he learned. I do not plan to use this book next time.
