EmilyGF Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Could you help me think this through? DS13 is going to go to school next year, we just decided. He's taken Algebra I and II but not geometry. I'm getting signals from school that he'll be better off if he comes in with Geometry under his belt (unless he wants to retake Algebra II). I took Geometry in 3 months as a 13-year-old. Can you think of a good resource for him to get enough Geometry to pass the geometry section of a placement test? I guess I'm wondering about a compressible Geometry course. DS13 is pretty good at math and is concerned with being placed in a challenging class this coming year. Algebra I and II have been AOPS. I don't imagine AOPS Geometry is easily compressible!

LAR Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Try mrdmath.com. Mr D may have a viable option for you. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fourisenough Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Unlock Math! My DD13 has just completed about half the course in six weeks (alongside a very full load of other work). Once she finishes all of her other coursework next week, she’ll work intensively on Unlock Geometry and hopefully finish the second half within a month.

Julie of KY Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 MEP math - just the geometry chapters from a couple of years. It's a good get it done geometry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJPPKGFGSC Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Emily, I answered in your thread on the Logic board. If your son has done Algebra I & II AOPS, then I really do not think that he wants to choose something less than that! What if you did something super-easy to pass the test this summer? And then you went back to do AOPS Geometry, even if that is next summer. There is so much good stuff in that book! Would he agree to that plan so that he could keep moving but also have a rigorous Geometry course before high school is over? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murrayshire Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Totally check out Mr. D Math!! My dd took the Pre-Alg course over the summer last summer. It was great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom31257 Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 I just got this book through our library system. It's great! Tutor in a Book Geometry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SebastianCat Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Another vote for Mr. D. Math. My kids have taken Pre-Algebra through Algebra 2 with him and have done his summer readiness programs and SAT bootcamp, but not the full-blown course over the summer. We love Mr. D. and his program. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd pick the geometry sections of years 8 and 9, and then some of 10 and 11. It's not too much for most students. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
