View Full Version : Doing Geometry (as review) at the same time as doing Alg 2 or using a prep book

My dd is doing geometry this year and I'm thinking of having her do it again next year when she does Alg 2. How would I schedule this? She is doiing fine in it, I would do it for review so it's fresh in her mind when she takes the ACT next spring.
Would it be better just to do a prep book?
Thanks

if you're worried about the ACT math, then just schedule no regular math lessons a few weeks before the ACT and have her work in prep books and review all the math topics that will be on the test during that time.

If you really want to do some work during the whole year, maybe have her do some work from a prep book once/week to keep the Geometry fresh. I'm not as familiar with the ACT, but the College Board has an SAT question of the day where they will email you a practice question every day once you sign up. We've found that helpful for on-going review. Also, www.number2.com is a free site that offers test prep for both the SAT and ACT.

JMHO,
Brenda

Someone on the old board recommended Geometry Success in 20 minutes a day for a friend of mine. She really likes it and it doesn't take long at all (hence the name:D).

Take care,
