Would a classroom setting help/hurt DD in her weak area of math?

[kilo90]

My DD will be taking Geometry next Fall. (She'll be 10th grade) We're moving next summer so I am researching homeschool options where we will be moving. DD is strong in every area but math. Her composite score on the Math of the ITBS this year was 72 (NPR) so she's not hopeless. We do spend a great deal of time on math, though, and she has trouble recalling concepts that we haven't gone over recently. I've been leery of putting her in a co-op setting for Math because I don't want her to struggle and feel like she drowning. There is a 3 days at school/2 days at home option and the more "traditional" 1 day a week co-op.

 

Any opinions on if this would be good for her? Should we just plug away at it at home? 

 

Thank you for any thoughts/suggestions.

Having one that sounds similar and having taught in a classroom setting I would vote for continuing on at home.  Unless you personally need the accountability, which it doesn't sound like you do.

If you do decide to keep her at home, I suggest you build in more review time for the pre-algebra and algebra topics she's already covered - maybe 15 minutes each day to briefly review and practice one of those topics in addition to the time she needs for the geometry.  You might also ask around in your new location to find out if there is an experienced math tutor that could meet with her every week or two to give her extra help with topics she still struggles with.  Sometimes hearing it from someone else besides mom makes things "click."

Thank you for the thoughts. We did ALEKS math for a bit and I need to go back to it for reviewing.

I just want to be sure that I am doing the right thing for her and not keeping her in a comfort zone at home for longer than I should. I like the tutor idea, too. 

Thanks again for your replies.
