My son's in public high school,a math lover and straight A+ grader and would like to strengthen more and advance his math skills.Usually,he's getting help with this YouTube channel The organic chemistry tutor.(lf anyone knows any other most useful free videos channel then please let me know for Algebra 2 and Geometry course). He's looking for self paced,rigorous and some practice problems course so he has narrowed down the search with these choices: Homeschoolconnectons: Recorded course: Forester Algebra 2, Parts One and Two ----How many practice problems are in each section of a unit -
I'm finding some great free and low cost stuff for teaching Euclid, so I'm starting a thread. It is going to take me a bit to add all the links. If you have ones you like, please add them. If you have seriously self-educated or taught Euclid, please share. If you have anything to say at all, please do. If you have no words and want to just post emoticons, go ahead. :D I'm really drawn to spending time on Euclid for its ability to be a book that can be bonded with like a favorite novel or holy book. It seems like some people have a life-long love-affair with this book. This book review

For our mathematicians boardies :D From BBC http://m.bbc.com/news/science-environment-28739373 "An Iranian mathematician working in the US has become the first ever female winner of the celebrated Fields Medal. In a landmark hailed as "long overdue", Prof Maryam Mirzakhani was recognised for her work on complex geometry." "In becoming the very first female medallist, Prof Mirzakhani - who teaches at Stanford University in California - ends what has been a long wait for the mathematics community."

My rising 9th grader will be using VT algebra, which includes algebra I & II. I am thinking of switching to Saxon Advanced Math after that, since she has been using Saxon algebra 1/2 with great success. For those of you who have experience with Saxon Advanced Math, will my dd be able to go right into the geometry section in Saxon Advanced Math since she won't have geometry background in Saxon algebra I & II? If not, will say a geometry course on khan academy or EDX (https://www.edx.org/course/introduction-geometry-schoolyourself-geometryx-1) be sufficient to fill in the ga

Hello, In looking over the various Geometry texts I really like Jurgensen a lot. So I am considering using it next Fall as ds12's primary text. I've already purchased the book and am looking to get the Solutions Manual ISBN-13: 9780395677667. Has anyone who used Jurgensen also purchased the Solutions Key? The reason I'm asking is that it is 6 years older than the student workbook. Yet I could not find an answer key with the same publish date as the text. If anyone has experience using Jurgensen I'd appreciate hearing from you. Thanks,

We are starting Thinkwell Geometry in a few weeks. I've seen some posts on the forum that suggest it needs supplementation, while others say it doesn't. Would I need to supplement for a mathy student on an engineering/computer path? Would it be helpful to buy the Holt textbook to use as extra practice? If so, are there any solutions in the book or is there a solutions manual available? Are those in the One Stop Planner? -
Any experience with IUOHS? I noticed they use Tarbak for earth science and Hewitt for IPC, so someone who knows what there doing may be there, somewhere. ;) I'm looking specifically at their geometry for next year: https://iuhighschool.iu.edu/courses/highschool/courses/9886 The course description says they teach some proofs, the exams are open-ended questions, and students need to show their work. The price is around $200/ semester. It's completely self paced (but only six months to finish a semester). I think this is exactly what we need, but I'd love to here of anyone who has used -
Does anyone know if there is any way to get answers to the third sets of problems for the 1st edition of Jacobs Geometry? Thanks so much. -
I'm trying to figure out which edition of Harold Jacobs Geometry to buy. Any suggestions? Thanks so much! Debbie

Dd will be in 10th next school year and possibly taking Geometry at co-op. They use Teaching Textbooks. This year dd has been thriving with Alg 1 using Tablet Class. I'm wondering if we should just stay the course with TC or let her take TT with local teacher once a week?! Can anyone give me their thoughts on TT or TC's Geometry? Pros, cons,...... Btw, she says she doesn't like Geometry. Thanks🙂 -
By "basic geometry" I am referring to the material covered on the SAT or ACT, plus an introduction to geometric proofs. It seems to me that all of this material is in my old Saxon Algebra 2 book, which covers a mix of Algebra, basic trigonometry, and Geometry. (I may be wrong about this. If so, please let me know!) It seems to me, further, that every Geometry and trigonometry problem in this book can be completed in about one month (assuming roughly 20 problems per day and five lessons per week). If I'm right -- that is, if all the geometry a kid needs to do well on the SAT or ACT -
I'm referring to Saxon Algebra 2: An Incremental Development, Third Edition. Thank you.

My son is taking the MyHomeschoolMathClass Geometry with Jann in Texas and I need your help to come up with a good course description for what they have covered. If your child is in this class I would love to see what you are using as your description. If your child is not in this class I would still love to have your input. =) Here is what I have so far: This is a Pre-AP Algebra-based Geometry class that emphasizes the study of the properties and application of common geometric figures in two and three dimensions. Euclidean methods are used to solve proofs of geometric figures. The -
Help needed. My 10th grader daughter has just finished Algebra 2 at the college. So she now has Alg. 1 and Alg. 2 done, and well. She is not a mathy student however. She has had a little geometry from Alg 1 Saxon, but I believe she may need more. I think we were hoping she would take Trig and then pre calculus at the college maybe Junior year and/ or senior year. When should we do geometry? Can we do it this year in one semester? Can we skip it? Does anyone have a good book idea? Will collegeswant to see Geometry? Trig and precalculus are semester classes so we have some wiggle room. Lo

DS 12 started AOPS Introductory Geometry last week and is enjoying it so far. One thing that he is missing are the videos that he used with AOPS Algebra and C&P courses before. In checking with AOPS folks, there is no definitive time frame for those videos. Has anyone paired the AOPS chapters/ class with videos from other sources (Khan academy etc)? Would love any suggestions for videos that could accompany the AOPS geometry course.

Bouncing around ideas...... Background D12 is in 7th grade public school Algebra I We supplement her PS Algebra I class at home. . She is just now starting back to Foerster Alg I after taking a long break and working through another text (Advanced Math for Young Students: A first course in Algebra). I am thinking she will finish the Foerster Alg I text by the time 7th grade is over at the latest. I am thinking of starting Foerster Alg II right after that and taking it very slow. So she could do that over the 8th grade while in geometry and 9th grade while in Alg II. While in 8th g

Has anyone tried: Math in a box with Susan O Johnsey? I am looking for a geometry program that uses the Jurgenson geometry text. My DD is In public school so that sadly rules out the Wilson Hill online geometry course. I have never taken geometry so I would not be able to help my DD. I am searching for something that is more rigorous than the public school class that will do a much better job of teaching proofs. My hope would be that she get used to feeling some degree of frustration and not give up. I have found a tutor but he is not familiar with the Jurgenson text, but willin

I am having a smack down on my over reaching "after schooling" and reality. I am heaping too much on my kid to do as "after school" and need to dial it down. I am embarrassed to ask if geometry supplementation is any less importance than algebra? D12 is working on Foerster Alg 1 and I am adding WWS 1, easy grammar, Spelling to this and all of it to be done after she gets home from 7th grade public school each day. I definitely want her to continue Algebra with Foerster for 1,2 and precal. I am hoping/praying that WWS really helps my reluctant writer became a so -
We are founds of Lost Art Press around here, and were excited to see they are coming out with a new geometry/furniture design book that we are going to order for Willem (combining woodwork and maths in our household is considered an awesome thing). There is a free excerpt of the book available as a pdf. As the blog post about it says: (and if you are in to things like woodwork, furniture design and such, the blog and website are well worth looking around) -
Has anyone ever used REA Problem Solver to supplement math text? Wondering if it would be a good fit to supplement Tablet Class geometry.

I have the student textbook and teacher's guide. I'm looking for the Tests. The only ones I see are listed in Amazon with the ISBN: 978-0716717478. When I look in other sites that may have had it at one point, it says that the Test Master or Test Book is 668 pages? This can't be right? I'm assuming this is just a booklet of tests so it should be about 50 pages at the most? (They might be misposting it as the textbook itself) If anyone has one, can you tell me about how many pages it contains? Does anyone know of a site where I can download these tests as a PDF?

Looking for a geometry class for next year for DD who will be in 8th. We've loved AoPS, and they have a 24 week Geometry class, but I want to explore all options. It seems like it would be rather important to have more visual components than AoPS offers in their class. But I don't know, maybe you've had a child take it and loved it. I am hoping to find something that might easily be accepted by a public high school if we decide to go that route later. What else is out there and what can you tell me about it? Derek Owens (using Jacobs)? Wilson Hill (using Jurgensen)? Pott

Hi All, I thought I'd let you know about my continued math adventures since I know at least a few of you are considering Geometry for next year. Based on a number of reviews and other considerations I've decided to give Wilson Hill Academy a try for Geometry next Fall. The fact that they use Jurgensen (ISBN-13: 978-0395977279) which is a great classical Geometry text helps to make the decision easier. WHA is a relatively new school. But their teachers are very well known and regarded in the homeschool community. Leslie Smith will be teaching their Geometry course which meets for 1.5 h
