Gratia271 Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 I am looking for advice regarding the best geometry program for my daughter. Does anyone know about Geometry: A Guided Inquiry? I am trying to determine the best fit for my daughter, and I have heard good things about Jacob's also. If anyone has experience with both, I would appreciate a comparison between the two. I would like to avoid purchasing something that won't ultimately work (btdt). Thanks for any advice! ___________ Nancy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Storm Bay Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 How old is your dd and what kind of Geometry work do you want to do? I haven't heard of that book. Are you looking for basic stuff or high school level stuff? Constructions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in a similar position since my ds just turned 11, although he hasn't quite finished algebra 1 yet. I don't know anything about the Math Without Borders, although it looks interesting. Do you know if it has proofs? I couldn't tell from a quick look at the description. Are you sure you want to do geometry next? I'm thinking that I'm either going to have ds do another year of algebra (advanced algebra of some kind) or do some kind of alternative like number theory or something. Have you looked at the Art of Problem Solving Stuff? I've heard good things about their stuff, although I have no personal experience with it (yet). I don't know if their geometry includes proofs or not, it is hard to tell. Jean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harmony Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Have you tried "Saxon Geometry?" It looks great. It has a complete different lay out with big prints which are great for young students. "Key to Geometry" is a great additional geometry program. Especially for contstruction practices. Very simple and easy to follow. Please check out the great web site for geometry that I discovered lately. www.mathopenref.com You will enjoy "dragging the points." Hope this helps.

Gratia271 Posted March 24, 2010 Author Share Posted March 24, 2010 I will check that site. I know my daughter is prepared to move forward, but I guess I should consider whether to just continue through Advanced Algebra, then Geometry. Have any of you done that?
