Description
Learn middle school mathematics
hands-on and visually using a geometric approach. With a drawing
board, T-square, triangles, compass, and goniometer, the student
explores fractions, area, ratios, angles, Pythagorean theorem, and square
roots. Circles, pi, arcs, along with reflections, rotations, and symmetry are
taught all the while practicing arithmetic, fractions, and decimals. Some
algebraic concepts are introduced. The history of mathematics is woven
throughout the lessons. Daily card games are included in the lessons.
Students work independently. Book Bundle includes the Lesson Book,
the Worksheets/Binder (with grade recording sheets and games log), and
the Solutions Manual. Select either the RightStart Geometry Set if new to
RightStart Math or the Geometry Short Set, an add-on package for previous
users of RightStart Math.
Students work independently in levels G and H of RightStart Math. Encouraging the good study habits of reading and then re-reading through the lessons, the student afterwards completes worksheets correlated to each lesson – usually 1 or 2 per lesson. Students are able to grade their own work using the solutions manual; in consultation with the "facilitator" (a.k.a. parent or teacher). Manipulatives are integral and used with both courses. Book Bundles include the Lesson Book, the Worksheets/Binder (with grade recording sheets and a games log), and the Solutions Manual. The Lesson Book provides 125 daily lessons, Reviews/Games after every ten lessons, and three Assessments. The consumable Worksheets are available for additional students. The Geometry New User Set is for those who have never used RightStart Math and are starting with either Level G or H. Items in this set are used in both courses. The Geometry Add-On Set is for those who have used RightStart and who have the 2nd Edition Manipulative Set (#046285).
