Teaching Textbooks Inc Geometry Teaching Textbooks Kit
Lessons that require a teacher, horrifically dull examples, and forbidding language are all hurdles that homeschoolers must survive when looking at math curriculum...or do we? This applauded geometry curriculum was written specifically for homeschoolers; it doesn't presuppose a teacher constantly at the student's side, so it's very clear about instructions and employs an easy conversational style of writing. Illustrations, examples and graphs have a hand drawn look to them, and problems often use engaging real life illustrations. Not only is the textbook well done, but there are audiovisual lecture, practice, and solution CDs for every chapter, homework and test problem (though Teaching Textbooks Geometry does not feature automated grading). Definitions, theories and more have their own reference portion in the back of the text.A 768 page spiral bound softcover textbook 164 page test book with answer key 1 test solution CD 6 homework solution CDs with step by step explanations for every problem 4 lecture and practice CDs to accompany the textbook A CPU of 133 MHz or faster A Windows 98 or later operating system (Vista-compatible) A 4x CD-ROM drive Speakers A CPU of 211 MHz or faster A MAC OS 9.0 or later A 4x CD-ROM drive Speakers

I was a little skeptical of pay that much for a book. But you get so much more than a book and my daughter went from struggling with geometry to understanding it.

My daughter is not strong in math and was borderline in another geometry text. After the first semester, we started looking for something else that was more straight-forward, yet a full course to get her credit. We found Teaching Textbooks was perfect in that it used everyday logic to prepare on how to think in order to prove the theorums. Also, the lessons do not take too long, and there's help for every problem if needed. It's certainly not easy, just easier to understand. She's now making A's! One thing about the cover of the student text is that it needs to be covered with clear contact paper for protection. Otherwise, outstanding!

My children are able to work almost completely independently through the Teaching Textbooks curriculum, with occassional help from Dad. They are learning the concepts that I lack the ability or patience to teach them.

Using Teaching Textbooks: Geometry, has been my first experience with the Teaching Textbook products. I have found the material to be complete, containing everything that one needs to either teach a student or themselves. Books and CDs work together to offer each lesson, a practice set of five problems to make sure that you understand the new information, and a problem set of approximately 20 problems. Along with this is a detailed explanation of each problem, so that just in case you miss one you can see exactly where you made your mistake. Great product!

Teaching Textbooks has been great for my hghschooler. He took Algebra 1 twice and failed the class, but is doing well with Teaching Textbooks. He is actually doing so well that we bought the geometry also and he is doing both. For him to like a math program is huge!! Thank you!! dana

We have been using TT Math since 7th Grade TT came out. My Son LOVES the Geometry! "Mom, I actually look forward to Math!" I HIGHLY Recommend ALL Teaching Textbook Products! They are fun and use real life situations for the math problems. The Lessons are taught to the student and it makes them so to understand and relate to.

These books work for my kids. Every kid has a different learnig style and i just find that this has even been good for him and me. Some of this math I don't remember learning in school so it really is nice having the cd's to help.

So far so good! Our daughter says its really good at explaining things. The mans voice is a little monotone-in her opinion, but I think its fine. We are only 1/3 of the way through so far! But she's doing much better at this than the other program she was totally lost in!

The authors did an excellent job explaining geometric concepts. It did not take very long for my daughter to pick-up on what was being conveyed. I highly recommend it.

We are only on Lesson 11, but my daughter loves it. She was taking Geometry in school and she has learned so much more from this program than she did the first three months of school. She has enjoyed the history of geometry which was something she wasn't getting in public school. She said it was like having the missing pieces to the puzzle she was putting together. I like it because when she gets stuck on a problem, she can pull out the solution DVD and it walks her through the problem rather than me having to do it. It is really great for self motivated students!

Why couldn't this program been around when I had to take geometry. My senior in our homeschool high school is doing awesome. He has an A average. This product is well worth the financial outlay . I gladly and without reservation whatsoever recommend this for any homeschool program. Eddie A. Brookshire

My 9th grade daughter is strong in math...I'M NOT!! We have just started homeschooling her after being in public schools. She was in honor classes & doing great academically, just too much social environment!!! She had begged for years to be homeschooled. The one thing I was concerned about was teaching her math. We ordered the Teaching Textbook from other product reviews & we are SO glad we have this Geometry....Teaching Textbooks. She loves it. The teacher is repetitive so that it is very easy to understand the concept of the lesson. We plan on getting this for her for Algebra II, Pre-Calculus, & Calculus. Again, she's very strong in math & self motivated.

We tried two other Geometry programs before this one. Teaching Textbooks is definately easier to understand and gives the "non-math" teacher the most help. The computer teacher is easy to understand, there are just enough problems and the explainations are complete. I highly recommend this program.

Love the one-on-one tutoring! My son has been so frustrated when he was stumped with a problem I couldn't help him with. Now I just say, "go to the lesson on the CD". When he does, he always gets his problem solved. Praise God for such a wonderful program!

This curriculum is fantastic! Each bite-sized lesson is simple, yet teaches all concepts of plane (high school) geometry, including proofs.
