Jacobs Geometry: Seeing, Doing, Understanding, 3rd Edition
Geometry: Seeing, Doing, and Understanding, and Elementary Algebra are preferred by many homeschoolers as an alternative to Saxon Math. They are suitable for self-paced study.
The third edition of Jacobs Geometry features: more focus on informal and paragraph proofs; streamlined definitions, proofs, and theorems; diverse examples from around the world; a third more exercises than previous editions with 75% of them being new;
algebra reviews; SAT problems are included in the exercise sets; updated art program, now in full color; summary and review sections at the end
of each chapter; and glossary, postulates and theorems list at the end of the book.
The books written By Harold R. Jacobs encourage an appreciation for math as well as the understanding of the concepts.
 Geometry: Seeing, Doing, Understanding (3rd Edition 2003) by Harold R. Jacobs was chosen by Cathy Duffy as on of her "100 Top Picks for Homeschool Curriculum" in the Mathematics category.

By Harold R. Jacobs
The Improved Test Bank for Geometry 3rd Edition consists of one chapter test for each chapter, a midyear exam, and a final exam. Chapter tests take about 45 minutes, and exams take about 100 minutes.
Complete answers to all of the tests are included at the end of the Test Bank.
Do you need the Test Bank? It depends on your situation. Do you need formal tests for proving work in geometry or will problems in the lessons and chapter reviews in the textbook be sufficient? Many families opt to use problems in the book for testing. On the other hand, if you are teaching in a homeschool co-op or classroom setting, then the test bank would be a better choice. Softcover |

Instructor's Resource CD-ROM for Harold Jacobs Geometry 3rd Edition Seeing, Doing, UnderstandingBy Harold R. Jacobs
The Instructor's Resource CD-Rom for Geometry, Seeing, Doing, Understanding contains "the Teacher's Guide materials and illustrations, figures, and diagrams from the book. Topical images taken from newspapers, magazines, and other resources are also included to assist teachers in bringing more fun applications to their lessons."
It's my understanding that this is used for making overheads for classroom use. If you are teaching one student, you should be able to show the student the illustrations in the Teacher's Guide.
Bottom Line: This is a cd to print the instructor's resources on your computer printer. |
