monalisa Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Looking for a sanity check here. If your child completed DO Geometry (or is doing it now), how much time per day did (or do) they devote to it? My dd started DO Geometry a few weeks ago, and it is taking her FOREVER to get through the lessons. She did extremely well with Algebra 1, spending 1 - 1.5 hours a day on it and got a high A. She's spending about the same amount of time on Geometry, but making much less progress. I think she started 3.5 weeks ago, and is only halfway through Week 2 on the Syllabus. She says its dealing with the Textbook that is what's so time consuming (and she said some of the textbook is confusing). I've read reviews saying DO Geometry was not as easy to use as Algebra because of the Jacobs Geometry textbook. She's got a lot of other work on her plate, so I really don't want her doing more than 1.5 hours per day, but I don't want her to take 2 years to get through Geometry either! If it gets too painful, I'll jump ship to TT or MUS (this is not a STEM major in the making I have here; definitely a humanities girl that does well in math but doesn't like it). But I really like the DO approach -- taking lecture notes, working example problems during lectures, outside grading, so I don't want to ditch it too soon. Any advice?

fourisenough Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 No advice on DO Geometry, but a suggestion to consider Unlock Math if you decide DO isn’t a fit. We’ve been very impressed with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
