Course Description
Textbook: Geometry (3rd edition), by Harold R. Jacobs.
Does your home-schooled student need help with geometry? Many parents find that either they lack the knowledge for teaching upper-level math or they lack the time to give regular daily instruction.
When the class meets on Tuesdays, the students will go over their daily assignments and tests with the instructor. In addition, supplemental instruction will include practical applications of geometry concepts and will reveal the wonders of mathematics and the Lord who created them.
