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. Definitions, theories and more have their own reference portion in the back of the text.
All together, this kit includes:
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 System Requirements:
For Windows:
A CPU of 133 MHz or faster A Windows 98 or later operating system (Vista-compatible) A 4x CD-ROM driveSpeakers For Mac
A CPU of 211 MHz or faster A MAC OS 9.0 or later A 4x CD-ROM drive Speakers“We hold these truths to be self-evident.” Sound familiar? It comes straight from the study of geometry! In the opening lecture on CD, I learned that Abraham Lincoln studied geometry as an adult to help him with reasoning skills in the courtroom. More than the study of shapes and how things fit together, geometry is the development of reason itself. Geometry introduces deductive reasoning and helps students think logically to solve problems outside the classroom, just like Sherlock Holmes. Geometry: A Teaching Textbook demystifies the subject with sight and sound. Along with a clearly illustrated 768-page spiralbound textbook and a 164-page answer key and test bank softcover, this course offers 110 audio-visual lessons, practice sets, and solutions to 3,500 problems on 11 colorful CDs. Pop a CD in your computer and your student will be off and running at his own pace. It is like having a personal tutor on hand to gently guide your student each step of the way. Even better, you can review any lesson when needed. No more getting stuck. A fascinating 10- to 15-minute lecture introduces the history behind and new concepts in each lesson. This is not the dry stuff of high school yesteryear; this is a course made exclusively for the 21st-century homeschool student. If your student is breaking into quadrilaterals for the first time, or needs to brush up on his polygons for the SAT and college prep, then look no further—the Sabouri brothers can help!

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.

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.

This is hands down one of the best math cirriculums out there. The step by step teaching and help with solutions to problems provide a frustration-free math class.

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.

There is no better way to learn Geometry (or any of the high school maths) than the way the Sabouri brothers have endeavored to teach it! They have completely eliminated any guess work and their presentation is thorough yet never overwhelming. There will be NO tears with this curriculum - and much success! Highly recommend!!
