A Look Inside Power Basics Geometry
High School Geometry – just hearing those words can make a parent (or a high school teen) cringe at the thought! Geometry lessons can be overly long, proofs can be incredibly confusing, and software programs can be expensive and overly glitchy. Overwhelming, thick textbooks with pages crowded with too many problems and illustrations can make Geometry seem like the math course that will never end!
Add to these frustrations parents who have not had Geometry themselves for a very long time and teens who have struggled with math in the past, and together you have the perfect storm for one l-o-n-g homeschool year of Geometry!
What’s a parent to do?!? Well… let me introduce Power Basics Geometry!
What makes Power Basics special?
Power Basics Geometry is the opposite of everything I just described to you. Geometry lessons are concise, proofs are clear, resources are succinct, and pages are uncluttered. There are no tricky software programs to tackle! In fact, the only supplies you need are graph paper, a compass, a ruler, a protractor, and a calculator with square root and squaring functions. Heart of Dakota’s easy four-day-a-week plans make this already streamlined, inexpensive course a total success for any student!
