armom Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 My son has been homeschooled since 1st grade. He is wanting to enroll in school next year for high school. I am in a slight panic to make sure he is not deficient in some areas. He used Math-U-See from Alpha-Pre-Algebra. This year he is using Jacob's Algebra. He is doing fine, but after looking at some papers that are being used in our current 8th grade public school, I think we haven't covered intro to Geometry enough. He would start in High School Geometry next year, and would most likely learn everything he needs to know. I am just wondering if there is anything I could use to make him not look so "behind" when he starts. He is very self conscience. I don't have time to use a full course, but wondering if there is some kind of workbook to use to go over the Geometry concepts covered in public schools up to this point. Math-U-See didn't cover geometry enough in the lower levels. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Tick Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Check out Patty Paper Geometry. I'm teaching it to a group of middle schoolers once a week. It is a lot of hands-on discovery. I billed it as Pre-Geometry. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiara.I Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 What about Math Mammoth topical books? Geometry 2 and 3 might work. Sent from my ONEPLUS A5000 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mona Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 We've really liked The Learn Math Fast System. We've used several of JK Mergens algebra books so far. She makes difficult math concepts easy to understand. Volume IV sums up all geometry needed prior to high school in less than 30 lessons. You can see samples here: http://learnmathfastbooks.com/sample-pages.html If you're interested, I can find a 10% off coupon for you. I think that volume is a little more than others because of the geometry packet that comes with it. Volume VII is high school geometry in 30 lessons. The books are non-consumable because you can print off all the worksheets from her website, so you can reuse the books with other students or redo the worksheets for more practice.

jaredluvsjoanie Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 I second the motions for Patty Paper Geometry and for Math Mammoth's geoemetry topicals. Those would make a fantastic combination! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
