Geometry in Real Life Homeschool Math Curriculum

Getting Started with Geometry in Real Life Homeschool Math Curriculum

Geometry in Real Life is a one-year course for high school. This course was specifically designed so that every student can be successful in learning the concepts and applications of Geometry. Each week’s lessons include easy-to-understand text, practice problems, and a detailed answer key. Our Geometry in Real Life homeschool math course delves into what the formulas presented mean and how they were created. It focuses on real-world applications and provides fun and inventive ways to learn the math rather than just memorize it. Because reviewing is an important part of learning, wherever possible, this course uses a spiral approach to teaching, allowing students to revisit subjects in different circumstances to reinforce what they have learned and to show how it all works together.

It is recommended that the student have an understanding of Algebra 1 prior to attempting these Geometry in Real Life homeschool math lessons.
