macmacmoo Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 My 16 year old has tried enough math programs to be able to articulate what he would like his next math to be. We are a month out from finishing Denison Algebra. Looking for a new curriculum for Geometry. He does not want math to have anything to do with screens, which rules out on-line classes and video based stuff, The other demand was that there be enough space to work the problems in the book or workbook. I will need an answer key for me. We were given a copy of illustrative mathematics Geometry and alas it lacked an answer key Does such a unicorn exist?

Lori D. Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 (edited) You might cross-post this on the high school board for more eyeballs -- a number of people who post on that board and the college board don't look at the general board. 😉 Alpha-Omega LifePac? Christian publisher. Set of 10 workbooks, plus answer keys and end of unit tests. unit 1 = a mathematical system unit 2 = proofs unit 3 = angles and parallels unit 4 = congruency unit 5 = similar polygons unit 6 = circles unit 7 = constructions and loci unit 8 = area and volume unit 9 = coordinate geometry unit 10 = review Math U See? Workbooks, teaching videos (alas, that is a screen), teacher book with answers. Covers more than Keys to Geometry (covers surface, solids, volume) BUT, very light on proofs. Keys to Geometry? Workbooks with space to work, plus answer books. VERY light with no coverage of some topics -- more like a "readiness for high school Geometry" program. The workbooks cover: book 1 = lines, segments book 2 = circles book 3 = constructions book 4 = perpendiculars book 5 = squares and rectangles book 6 = angles book 7 = perpendiculars and parallels, chords and tangents, circles book 8 = triangles, parallel lines, similar polygons The Big Fat High School Geometry Workbook? Appears to be more of a very generous supplement, but possibly this one. Can't find a place to see the table of contents, but it is 400 pages, and described as: "Easy-to-understand explanations of key concepts, stepped-out examples, helpful doodles, captions, and hundreds of exercises to provide additional practice of the Geometry concepts students learn in class." Answers in back. Edited October 1 by Lori D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendyroo Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 The Critical Thinking Company offers a geometry workbook: Understanding Geometry, but it is designed as a middle school level, "pre-high-school" geometry. But it is a worksheet, and it comes with detailed solutions. So it might work as a spine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smfmommy Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 Alpha Omega Publication, Ace Paces, and Christian Light Publication are all worktext style and have answer keys. MEP is free online (you print the PDFs) but you will have to pick out the Geometry units from Years 9 and GCSE levels as it's an integrated math.

Malam Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 This is a highschool level workbook: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0978639030/ but I don't know if it leaves enough room in the book to solve the problems in the book. Probably not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Servant4Christ Posted Saturday at 11:42 AM Share Posted Saturday at 11:42 AM We are a no-screens homeschool. If my memory serves me correctly, most of the workbooks (CLE comes to mind) will require the work to be done on separate paper. Otherwise the workbooks would be HUGE. I researched for what felt like an eternity before settling on Jacobs Geometry (textbook, tm, and tests). We'll see how Oldest likes it when we actually start using it, though.

Lucy the Valiant Posted Saturday at 12:43 PM Share Posted Saturday at 12:43 PM Heath Geometry contains an integrated algebra review throughout the book, and has worked well for our crew who have strong preferences for book-based (no screen) math.
