As homeschoolers, we look for fun, creative ways to learn. This year we are studying high school geometry and wanted to share with you some of our favorite resources.
String, Straightedge and Shadow – The Story of Geometry by Julia E. Diggins
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
String, Straightedge and Shadow – The Story of Geometry by Julia E. Diggins is one of the books we are reading in order to learn high school geometry. The conversational style and clear illustrations as well as the historical background help to make geometry come alive. We are using it in conjunction with Patty Paper Geometryby Michael Serraand an online site, Learning Math: Geometry, an online, interactive Geometry Course. We have found many videos on YouTube to reinforce the new vocabulary terms that we are using. Finally, we do the chapter tests in a high school textbook to assure ourselves that we have thoroughly learned the subject before moving on.
This combination of hands-on learning resources makes learning geometry so much fun that we look forward to it each day.
