Geometry

Post Reply New Topic

This is really bothering me. It’s not that the geometry work is too hard, I have no trouble doing the work, but that’s the problem.

I go to a private school (really the only school I can work in) which has a system that instead of lecturing in front of a class, the teachers just gives you 12 or so work books per subject and let the students figure it out on their own. My problem is that all of the geometry questions are mostly filled in for me. I feel like if I tried to take a geometry test from the public school system I would fail miserably.

Is there a website where I can take regular geometry tests to see if I’m really learning the information? Or, if you took geometry recently, could you post a few problems that a student who is halfway done with the course would be able to answer? Thanks.

Sorry if the above paragraphs don’t make much sense, I’m bad at explaining things.

A few ideas:

Go to the public library and look for a geometry text with the same material and work some problems.

Go to a college library and do same.

Go to a bookstore and look for a geometry book or study guide. Try to find one with answers in the back.

BTW your class stinks. I hope this helps.

I agree with MysteryFan3.

Also, could you ask your teachers if there are any other copies of the work book that are not filled in?

I like the way your school works - I would much rather work on my own than be lectured en masse.

I doubt they have blank ones, the answers were typed on there by the company that makes the workbooks, and I doubt they made two versions of the same thing. They even have spelling mistakes and the answer keys are sometimes off. I'm guessing those are a higher priorty on the company's things-to-do list.



I don't think the public librarys stock textbooks and I don't think basic geometry is a college subject... but I haven't been to any kind of library or bookstore in years so I'm probably wrong. BTW I think all classes stink.
