homeschooling: high school geometry and biology?

We Answered:

I personally would NOT use Apologia for science, I would look for a high school or college level textbook and use that. I am sure you can find some great resources on-line. Check out Carolina Biological supply as well, they have great homeschool resources for science. You are also going to need a good quality microscope, so set aside some money for that.

For math I would go with the gold standard of homeschool math programs - Saxon. You might want to check out their website and give your student a placement test. She may need more work on the basics before you move to Geometry!

Good luck, and have fun. You will be very surprised at how different classroom teaching is to homeschooling!

art activities for shapes lesson plan?

We Answered:

After reading the "Greedy Triangle" (great book, by the way) have the children choose a shape. You can either cut some out before hand on white paper or have the children do it themselves... depends on their ability.
After they choose their shape they can either:
a) Make the shapes into "people" by decorating them, adding characteristcs, etc.
or
b) Make the shape that they chose look like something they would see everyday. Ex. A circle could be made to look like a clock, etc. With this one it would be a good idea to brainstorm ideas for each shape before the project begins. Make a list on the board!
Have fun!
or
c) Have a bunch of pre-cut shapes out for the students to make something out of.
