Product Description

About Geometryhomework-help-blurb.pngcustomer-service-representative1-300x245.jpg

When we were asked to develop a geometry course we decided to go after a course that students could enjoy and which prepares students with a firm understanding, shows the relevance of geometry in art, architecture, nature, and the world around them, continually reviews the concepts of algebra, covers the history of geometry and its relevance to today, and demonstrates the linkage of geometry to logic, philosophy, and the nature of truth.

Geometry deals with the issue of truth. Much of what we know of as logic stems from the study of geometry - and therefore of philosophy and in particular epistemology ("the study of knowledge and justified belief"). While the textbook rarely delves too deeply into these topics, the other material (including the DVDs) will introduce these issues as they apply to truth and real life. The text covers many applications of geometry in everyday life. Almost every example and problem deals with a geometrical application - even those problems that deal in proofs.

Geometry is designed to be taken prior to Algebra 2 with Trigonometry and after Algebra 1.

  • This course contains Algebra reviews at the end of each chapter, so students have a smooth transition between Algebra 1 and Algebra 2 with Trig. They won't forget the concepts!
  • This Geometry course is not proof intensive, meaning that it teaches you logical thought and requires you to give evidence for your answers, but there is not a lot of time spent on meaningless recitation of numbers. 
  • We approach Geometry from a hands-on, real world perspective that is both parent and student-friendly. 
  • This course is college-level. Our syllabus and instructional material is designed to help parents give their students a college level education without overwhelming students or parents

Included in the Geometry Full Course Bundle

  • Geometry DVD Set (SKU 2210): Videos of course content - Approximately 12 hours of video following the textbook. 
    • Disk 1 - Contains the Geometry Teachers Guide. These are PDF files to be used on your computer. They can be printed as needed. The same files can be downloaded below.
    • Disk 2 - DVD covering the introduction
    • Disk 3 - DVD covering chapter 1.1 to 2.6
    • Disk 4 - DVD covering chapter 3.1 to 5.4
    • Disk 5 - DVD covering chapter 6.1 to 10.6
    • Disk 6 - DVD covering chapter 11.1 to 15.7

Calculators are optional at this level, but if you choose to allow one for larger problems, we recommend a basic scientific calculator like the Ti-30.

  1. A hit with my Right Brained child!

    Posted by Kim in NJ on 23rd Nov 2011

    As Mark from MN indicated... this curriculum seems to be more geared toward the creative, intuitive types.. and I for one am THRILLED!! Like Mark - I am a left brained Systems Analyst who struggled to understand why my daughter could not understand the Saxon methods through Algebra. But as she struggled and I tried to help I realized it was a clash in our learning/teaching styles. With this Geometry curriculum she has a 94% average on her tests and I don't think she has asked me more than 10 questions all year so far. (she used to ask me 10 Saxon questions daily.) I see her holding her Geometry book at angles for perspective. Using Toothpicks to illustrate an example in the book. More than 75% of the time I DON'T see what she is seeing - or understanding!!! But SHE DOES! this is where Homeschooling is such a blessing!! As her teacher I can't teach nor learn the way she does for this subject and if she was in a PS - she would probably have a left brained teacher like ME! But THANK YOU Dr. Callahan for putting together this curriculum. No more math tears in our home! :) :)

  2. We Love AskDrCallahan

    Posted by Tammy on 3rd Nov 2011

    We are just finishing our second year using AskDrCallahan curriculum and we love it. We homeschool our son and originally used Saxon Algebra I. My son got an A for the year, but he HATED algebra. I made the decision to do Algebra I again, using AskDrCallahan Algebra I. He loved it! It made sense to him and he could see how he would be able to use it to solve everyday problems. AskDrCallahan explains how algebra is used in the real world. It is broken down and illustrated step-by-step in clear language. There is no unnecessary information or fluff. We're finishing up with Geometry, and we've already ordered the Algebra II set. My son likes doing his math now, and his ACT scores reflect that!

  3. Disappointed Homeschooler

    Posted by Mark from Minnesota on 20th Sep 2011

    After reading many 5 star reviews on the net we were excited to try this geometry curriculum for our 16 year old son.

    He really struggled with this curriculum. As I tried to help him with the problems at times I did not know what they were looking for as the questions were not always clear and I had to look at the solutions manual first (I have an engineering degree - so it's not like I am math illiterate). My son also complained that the book did not have many examples (I agree) and he really begged for something different.

    I do believe that for some creative / advanced math students this is a wonderful curriculum (so if you have an advanced / creative child don't let my review scare you off). But if your child is more average in math and needs things spelled out clearly I would say keep looking. We wish we did, we ended up going to plan B before the year was over because it just was not working.
