Learn the "why" behind geometry through a series of engaging videos that explore geometry concepts in a logical order. This mastery-based program is broken down into units covering the structure of geometry, essential elements (fundamental terms & fundamental theorems, and simple closed plane curves (triangles, other polygons & circles). The program consists of Videos, Course Notes, Student Worktext, Solution Manual, Progress Tests, and Instructor's Guide. It is available through a complete online course (including a pdf of all the books) or as a DVD course with printed books. After completing Modules A-E (Units I-VI), students earn a geometry credit.
Videos are high quality and instruction is thorough, usually 5-15 minutes. The computer- generated graphics and animation have color-sequencing so the students can see the relationships develop. The colors they chose for the videos are also great for eye tracking. There is a person at the beginning of the video introducing the curriculum; then students see just the board. Students should listen to the video, using the pause button to answer questions, and resume playing to continue.
After the video, students use the Course Notes to review what they have watched on the screen. These course notes follow the video lesson chronologically. If your student is not understanding the concept fully, it might be a good idea to watch the video again while using the course notes.
The Student Worktext offers examples and provides exercises for the student to practice what he has learned. Important concepts are also reviewed. When the exercises have been completed, the student can then use the solution manual to check and correct work. The Solution Manual includes worked out answers to all the problems in the student worktext.
Progress Tests include quizzes, unit tests, cumulative reviews, and comprehensive exams. Two versions of the tests and quizzes are available, allowing for retesting. Detailed solutions for all quizzes and tests are in the Instructor's Guide.
This program is homeschool friendly, independent, and teaches mastery and reasoning behind the concepts. ~ Gina
