The Geometry Instruction Manual includes the resources instructors need to teach this level.

In this level, you and your student will confidently explore lines, angles, area, perimeter, the Pythagorean theorem, and more to achieve a solid grasp of the vocabulary of geometry, practical applications, traditional geometry, and an introduction to trigonometric functions.

The Math-U-See Geometry Instruction Manual is ideal for instructors who have access to the instruction videos and whose students have all the necessary student materials including the Student Workbook and Tests booklet.

Category Description for Math-U-See Geometry

In the MUS sequence at the upper level, it is recommended that students take Geometry after Algebra 1 and before Algebra 2. Algebra 1 review has been added to the Geometry course to keep Algebra skills sharp.

Beginning with Geometry, fewer MUS manipulatives are used and students will need a protractor, compass, and straight edge.The Universal Set no longer includes manipulatives, but does provide everything necessary for the course including: Instruction Manual with complete solutions, Instruction DVD, Student Workbook, Test book, and 12 months of access to the respective Digital package.

Emphasis is on vocabulary of geometry, practical applications of geometry, and traditional geometry including proofs. Includes lines, angles, area, perimeter, volume, Pythagorean theorem, axioms, and postulates, congruency, and similarity. Brief introduction to trigonometric functions.
