Timberdoodle's review   Moms, take heart. You do not have to relearn tedious geometric proofs, because this program is designed specifically for independent learners. In addition to covering all standard school geometry topics, the 757-page text also emphasizes problems found on the SAT and ACT. In fact, nearly every problem set includes several problems that were modeled after those found on actual SAT and ACT exams. Geometry Teaching Textbook is also alive with real-world examples that make the math concepts worth learning. Each lesson includes five practice problems and 20 to 24 assigned problems, for a total of almost 3,500 problems in the book. The set of CD-ROMs has all the solutions, the lectures, and the practice problems; about 145 hours of multimedia assistance - wow! About Teaching Textbooks A number of years ago we did the unthinkable and took a poke at a sacred cow when we said that we didn't like the conventional big-name home school math programs. Though some families were steadfast in their defense, there has since been an increasing number of families who have come to realize that math programs originally designed to be used in government schools are wholly inadequate to meet the needs of home educators. What is wrong with adapting a school-based text for home use? There are a couple of significant issues with doing that. First, because a typical school text assumes a knowledgeable math teacher, the explanations are often meager and brief. If you double as a math teacher, this will present no problem to you. However, many parents either did not take upper level math as a teen, or if they did, the process is just a distant, unpleasant memory. So sparse explanations in typical texts can be frustrating to both child and parent. Second, government schools' math texts often contain excessive use of terminology, making simple ideas seem complex. However, the Teaching Textbooks series is written with home educators in mind so it tackles those issues head-on in a rather innovative way, by combining a teacher and a textbook into one. Firstly, their textbooks, since they were designed specifically for independent learners, contain far more explanation than any others on the market, and the tone is friendly and conversational. Because the Teaching Textbooks series was designed for homeschoolers studying independently, it uses far less irrelevant jargon than other textbooks, while still retaining all the terms that students need to know for those important standardized tests. The textbook also comes with an answer key and a test bank. Secondly, and ultimately what sold me on this program, are their computer CDs with down-to-earth, step-by-step multimedia solutions for every problem in the book, plus an additional CD-ROM with complete step-by-step solutions for every test problem. The lectures - one for each lesson in the textbook - provide hours of instruction. They cover the same material as the written lessons in the textbook, but many students prefer to listen to (and watch) an explanation for each lesson rather than read it out of a book. (Note that you'll still need the textbook, because it has all the homework assignments and the answer key). This is a brilliant idea, long overdue and skillfully done, with many hours of instruction. The Teaching Textbooks series has been field-tested with outstanding results. Like other quality math programs, Teaching Textbooks uses the review method because it is a proven method for insuring children are able to master difficult subjects such as algebra and geometry. Students using Teaching Textbooks are fully prepared for College Board examinations and college courses.

Helpful to my whole family October 20, 2008 Reviewer: Susan D. from Milwaukie OR   This product is easy to use and does a great job in explaining the lesson to the student.  The student can work independently.  That is helpful to my whole family.

Scholarship worthy scores on the ACT/SAT October 20, 2008 Reviewer: Mary Jean P. from Peachtree City, GA   I had tried several math programs for my reluctant high school math student.  She loved this one, it made sense and she understood it.  She scored well enough on her ACT/SAT to receive a scholarship to College, where she is now and doing very well.

Son: "Sooo much better than the tutor..." October 20, 2008 Reviewer: Lorene T. from Kalamazoo, MI   I have been getting your catalog for years & years and in S.W. Michigan...we all agree that what you recommend is right on target!  I am also not a Saxon fan but have successfully used Miquon Math, Keys To (all of them) and Developmental Math...but we love the Teaching Textbooks!  We have Pre-Algebra, Algebra I and Geometry.  Pre-Algebra is a wonderful review of all the math you need to know before Algebra.  Last year I had a math tutor for my three oldest children...but I found they had many holes.  This is clearing up the holes!  Two of my children are using the Pre-Algebra right now.  My daughter prefers to use the book and my son like to watch the lectures on the CD's.  They watch or read the lecture then answer the a, b, c, d & e questions.  If they get them all right...they skip the problems and go onto the next chapter.  They are wizzing through and are doing excellent on the tests.  Great, Great product!  My oldest son is doing the Teaching Textbook Geometry.  He is doing excellent.  I got it in September and he will be done with it by Christmas...then he said he wants to do the Teaching Textbooks Algebra 2 and Teaching Textbooks Pre-Calculus this year too!  (We will see if that is able to really happen or not!)  But what that means is he really really likes it.  He described the TT Geometry to a friend the other day and he said he likes it sooo much better than the tutor...he can work at his own pace.  He likes to work independently.  If he doesn't understand something, he can watch the lecture again and/or put in the answer CD to see how to accurately do a problem he missed.    I need MORE Teaching Textbooks in other subjects!  Thanks for working so hard for all us to find the best of the best products.  You make our job as homeschoolers so much easier with your right on the money products and detailed reviews!
