From the times of Ancient Greece and earlier, to 17th century Europe and beyond, humanity’s understanding of geometric principles and relationships has developed into something powerful, beautiful, and applicable. Indeed, this branch of mathematics called Geometry has become fundamental and even essential to everyday life! Students of this course will experience both the development and application of geometry as they explore and interact with topics such as angles, lines, triangles, circles, transformations, and more. Along the way, students will perform constructions in a variety of mediums, analyze and complete deductions and proofs, and apply the geometric principles and theorems that have been discovered over the centuries. Students will also have fun meeting geometry-loving siblings who get into all sorts of adventures and predicaments, which — you guessed it — require geometry to solve.

From beginning to end, the StudyForge Geometry course is set up for student success. Each unit contains numerous interactive explorations that encourage students to discover geometric principles and relationships. Each lesson involves interactive videos that allow students to proceed at their own pace, with the ability to pause and rewind at any point. Additionally, each video is accompanied by a student-friendly note package to encourage deeper engagement and retention. To help students avoid getting stuck and to learn how to solve even the most challenging of geometric problems, all practice questions have detailed solution. Furthermore, students are well prepared for the wide variety of assessments they will encounter, and every quiz and test is randomized to allow retakes and encourage students to strive for mastery. Teachers of the course are equally well resourced, with detailed answer keys to all assessments, a customized dashboard, and supportive analytics to enable them to help all of their students succeed, whatever their skill levels are.

*Each lesson is designed to take 60 – 90 minutes to complete with the exception of major projects and assignments.

StudyForge has been an effective instructional program for students who are learning math. There are many visual representations as well as audio explanations on all the topics. Most of the practice questions provide both an answer and a solution to help students understand the procedures. From the teacher’s perspective, the course instruction can be easily rearranged for students who need a review of concepts from a previous grade.

I have been using the StudyForge math videos for a year now. The benefits were immediate as I was able to free up the time spent with my students to better track their progress and construct personalized learning goals. My students love the ease of use of the system and most of all, the increase in their test scores! I can’t ever imagine going back to a traditional classroom!

Scott

Blended Teacher at Brampton Christian School

I think the videos are excellent. Unlike lectures, I can actually rewind back and forth as much as I want. In class, students kind of miss important information because they are busy writing notes.

Alice P

StudyForge Student

I love the reporting tool. In my distributed learning context, seeing student’s work habits in a helpful format has become invaluable to me. I wouldn’t ever want to give one on one help to students again without the course overview report handy!
