Does anyone have thoughts on these geometry programs? They are both available at singaporemath.com. I tend to like everything singaporemath.com carries so I was wondering about these.

Course in Geometry - Plane & Solid by Weeks
Kiselev's Geometry Book 1 - Planimetry

and what do you think about Dad's Lessons Trigonometry by Rozenblyum?

Are these geometry texts a full geometry course - one that would allow the student to take the various standardized high school tests without further prep?

TIA!

I'm not familiar with those books, Cynthia, but my twins and next oldest son used NEM 1 & 2 (all three kids) and 3 (just the twins) and got plenty of geometry...enough to do very well on the SATs.

Yeah, my oldest used NEM also. But my subsequent kids have gone to other algebra programs in 7th. My current 7th is finishing up LOF algebra 1 and I was thinking moving into geometry. I have toyed with the idea of putting him into NEM. He is very math capable...just looking at various idea.
