One year of access to our comprehensive Success Geometry teaching videos. These are short, to-the-point instructional videos that cover all essential geometry topics. The course also includes one year of access to the Success Geometry Solutions Video Library, where every homework and test problem is worked out and explained on video.

The spiral-bound student textbook is consumable, allowing students to easily follow along with lesson videos, take notes, and work problems by hand. This format helps prevent frustrating copying errors and makes reading and handling the material more brain-friendly.

The accompanying spiral-bound solutions manual provides step-by-step solutions for every homework problem, enabling both students and parents to easily and accurately check assignments.

The three-hole punched, loose-leaf test booklet includes two versions of each test (Form A and Form B), allowing students to re-test if needed. The corresponding solutions pages show each test problem worked out in detail. The loose-leaf format allows parents, tutors, or teachers to easily hand out and collect individual test forms and to accurately and quickly check work afterwards.

The three-hold punched, loose-leaf parent guide provides you with all the key information needed to guide your student successfully through Success Geometry. It includes a pacing guide, grading suggestions, and grade recording sheets.

Success Geometry is designed for students who don't seem to “get” math at all. These students struggle to understand the bigger picture of what is happening, typically cannot remember lessons they just learned (even just moments ago), and easily become overwhelmed and shut down when faced with multi-step problems.

This course is written with the understanding that these students may quickly forget what is taught, tire easily during lessons, struggle with organization, find seemingly simple math concepts confusing, and have limited basic math skills.

Additionally, Success Geometry is geared towards students who face extra hurdles with math. This includes students with diagnosed or suspected dyscalculia, dyslexia, ADD/ADHD (where math is difficult to understand), other similar neurological challenges, or extremely high levels of math anxiety. This course is not designed for students with ADD/ADHD or other neurological differences who are gifted in math, though those students could certainly take and excel in the course.

We recommend that students complete an algebra 1 course before beginning Success Geometry. It is not necessary for a student to have mastered every algebra 1 skill before beginning this course, we simply recommend that they have prior exposure to the concepts. While algebra 1 skills are reviewed and reinforced throughout the course, they are not specifically taught as they are in an algebra 1 course.

After completing Success Geometry, students will be equipped to move on to the remainder of high school math, including algebra 2 and consumer math.

In particular, we recommend that students consider continuing on to Success Algebra 2. This course is designed in the same fashion to support students who struggle with extra learning challenges. However, students will also have the skills and habits needed to transition to a different curriculum if desired.

Nope! Denison Success Geometry does not cover formal proof-writing. Throughout the course, students are taught to use the logic, rules, definitions, theorems, and postulates of geometry to work problems, but they will not be asked to write traditional proofs. There are several reasons for this...

1. When writing a proof, there are many "correct" answers. If a proof differs from the answer key, it needs to be closely examined to test its validity. Students often take a different, unexpected, or less direct route to write correct proofs, but rarely discover that their answers are correct when comparing them to an answer key. Instead, they believe their answers are wrong because they don't immediately match the logic of the teacher. This can be very discouraging for students, causing them to dislike geometry or to lose confidence in their math ability
2. Formal proof writing is not used in any future math courses, nor is it tested on standardized tests 
3. During his 25+ years as a math educator, Mr. Denison never saw positive differences in student performance between the years when he did and did not teach proof writing. In fact, proof writing tended to have a negative effect on students, as they almost universally hate writing proofs, which made them dislike geometry and sometimes math altogether

That being said, we're not anti-proof! The skill does have value, but for a typical geometry student, we've found proof writing to be very counterproductive and therefore chose not to include it in the course.

This course is modified to support students who struggle with math due to learning challenges. It moves at a slower pace, covers less content, and breaks lessons into "bite-sized" pieces. In contrast, our Standard Geometry course is a full, non-modified course that moves at an average pace and covers all the content of a typical geometry program.

 You can check out our Standard Geometry Course Page or our Success vs Standard Guide for more resources on determining which program is best for your student.

Yep! This course is designed to take a student through an entire geometry course without the need for a tutor or additional instruction.
