Companion to the Charlotte Mason Elementary Mathematics Book 6, Practical Geometry 2 is an integral part of Simply Charlotte Mason’s Arithmetic sequence. Planned for one day per week (Friday per Charlotte Mason’s writings), Practical Geometry 2 builds on the concepts taught in Practical Geometry 1. Students will learn about maps, perimeter, navigation, triangles, circumscribed and inscribed circles, quadrilaterals, tangents, perpendiculars, area, area of rectangles/triangles/parallelograms, polygons, nets, surface area, and perimeter of 3D objects. The focus remains on short, concentrated lessons (about 30 minutes a day) and a balance of parent-child interaction and independent work. The course is designed to be twofold, practical and applicable to a child’s daily life while laying a foundation for success at the high school level. Three end-of-term exams are included, as are all answers. Optional lessons are included for families who wish to explore concepts more in-depth. Recommended for the course are a standard ruler (1/16”) and metric ruler (1mm.), a drawing compass, a protractor, set squares, examples of various shapes (cylinder, cone, pyramid), colored pencils or pens in 2 different colors, and 5 mm. grid paper. Some household items are also suggested. As someone who struggled with high school geometry, I found this course to be well-written and understandable, as confirmed by the many “oh, that makes so much sense!” moments I experienced. Students will be well-prepared to tackle high school geometry after finishing Practical Geometry 1 and 2 from Simply Charlotte Mason.
