    Not for my son
    Review by Kk
    This was not a great choice for my son. He struggles in math ama this was not a good fit. We started our pretty good doing all 3 sets but now over half way and we do set 1 only.
    Tough but strengthened critical thinking skills
    Review by Zero2Five Family
    This curriculum was TOUGH! To be fair, Geometry itself is tough. However, I still believe this curriculum deserves 5 stars because it really strengthened my student's critical thinking skills. It required him to think outside the box and problem solve in a way he never had before. This will help him in many areas of life, not just math. We did slow down the pace so that it wasn't too overwhelming. Master Books Academy also has lessons to correspond with this course but we did not need or use them because my student has very strong math skills. When my younger girls get to this course, we most definitely will invest in the Master Books Academy course for this curriculum
    Not our favorite subject
    Review by TM
    The curriculum is well made, but it just wasn't for us. It is very definition heavy.
    Very thorough & comprehensive
    Review by Andrea
    Math is not my daughter's strongest subject and yet her final test score was an 80%. My son (who pulls A's in math) started geometry this year and although a bit challenging he is making low A's. I strongly encourage to purchase the teaching course through the Academy
    Mixed Feelings abou this curriculum
    Review by SA
    I have mixed feelings about this curriculum. Part of our dissatification and struggle with Jacob's Math is my fault. I learn by doing. My daughter, who I bought this for, learns by reading. This is NOT a typical Math currciulum where you read the text, read the examples, and then practice what you learn. Rather this is a learn (and discover) by doing. There is some reading of concepts, however most of the learning happens within the practice problems. My daughter, who is a complete independent learner, needed my help with this curriculum every single day. It took us hours to figure out the problems working backwards from the answers. I failed in my responsibility to understand her learning style and realize this wouldn't work for her. If your students need thorough instructions, this is not the curriculum for them. If your students are self-teaching AND love to "discover" Math patterns, this might be the perfect curriculum for them. I will add, this is the same review that I will be posting for the Jacobs Algebra because it has the same teaching style and my eighth grader wasn't able to finish that curriculum due to the lack of instructions.
    Couldn't Be Happier!
    Review by Dan
    Jacobs Geometry was our "Take 2" after a different (sub-par) curriculum we began. Even for getting a late start, we were able to catch up and keep on schedule for the remainder of the year! The information is presented in a logical (and often funny) way, allowing ample time to learn the building-block-skills needed for a course such as this. It's incredibly thorough, with a few out-of-the-box concepts that make for a unique journey through the subject matter. It's listed as a grade 9-12 curriculum - however geometry is geometry; the concepts are the same no matter what grade it is learned. We studied this for 11th grade math, after Algebra 2, and were happy to have already had an introduction to the sine/cosine/tangent concepts that were integrated into this book. At the same time, those concepts were explained easily enough to be introduced through this program. All in all, we're incredibly pleased, and give kudos to Harold Jacobs for all of the excellence that he put into it. Highly recommend!!
    Challenging
    Review by Heather
    I found this to be a challenging study for a 9th grade student, especially for independent study. We did not have the DVD or online videos and I think those may have helped. However, after using Jacob’s Geometry for 2 1/2 months I decided my son was not quite ready for Geometry this year and we have spent the rest of the year reviewing Algebra in order to get a more solid foundation before coming back to Geometry next year.
    solid geometry text and fun examples too!
    Review by Cathy
    We have always used Saxon math, but when we rolled into Saxon geometry, it was absolutely awful. Very quickly I started looking for an alternative, and various homeschool websites recommended this one, so I gave it a try. I'm a total math nerd - I grew up taking honors math in school, so I appreciate a certain level of rigor. This book has it. It explains concepts very well (unlike Saxon, which didn't explain anything!) It has fun practical examples. It includes occasional algebra review, which is nice. Our kids generally do their math independently, and my son is able to do that well with this book. I'm so glad we found it.
    Advanced
    Review by Lexie
    This curriculum follows the very familiar design and layout if you are accustomed to Master Books math curriculum. My daughter has been in MB math since MLFLE 4, so this seemed like a perfect fit. If you are not used to MB curriculum, this book will involve a bit of reading to understand a concept, but I feel it is explained in words very well to understand how to perform these problems. If your student is not understanding or you just like the idea, there is a Master Books Academy course with an instructor that I feel is a really good teacher. This curriculum is set to cover 180 days. The main text is where you will find the lessons and problems to work daily. The teacher's guide is where you will find your tests and quizzes and their answers. The solution's manual is where you will find the answers to the daily problems from the textbook. Each lesson will have problems divided into sets I, II, and III with III being like a challenge or bonus question. This course covers what you would typically expect a geometry curriculum to cover (circles, arcs, inequalities, congruence, polygons, quadrilaterals, etc.). There is a descent amount of work to do within the textbook, so as a parent, I felt it was acceptable to do every other problem in a lot of the lessons (especially for questions that would have 10-12 problems of the same type to practice). I do feel that this is a very advanced curriculum that would help your child if they plan to study more advanced mathematics.
    Solid HS Level Geometry
    Review by Lacee
    There is so much to like about this Geometry Curriculum. My kids favorite question is "why?" and the beauty of homeschool is we get to teach them all the why's they want! Jacob's Geometry does just that, it goes into the WHY in addition to the how and the what for geometry. I appreciate the real-world application that helps students recognize where they will use geometry in real-life. The way this course is designed, students need to have a basic understanding of algebra prior to starting geometry. You will need all 3 books - the teacher guide with the tests and exams, the solutions manual with answers to the problems in the lessons, and the main text book. There is also an academy course available. Students will also need graph paper, lined paper and a binder for their work. Since this is a high school level course, you can expect lessons to take around an hour or so depending on your student and their understanding of the topics discussed. Each Chapter has a different amount of lessons so you can expect some chapters to be longer than others, each chapter has a summary and a review at the end of the chapter, practice problems and a test. There are study days and review days built into the suggested daily schedule which is helpful for students. There is also mid-term and final reviews, and the mid-term and final exams are broken up into two days. All in all, this is a SOLID High School level Geometry course, and you can expect it to be rigorous and that it will prepare your student for furthuring their education at a higher level.
