Homeschool Geometry Curriculum | With Mr. D Math

When it came time to choose a homeschool geometry curriculum for high school, I knew I didn’t want to improvise. Algebra had gone smoothly for us, but geometry felt different, more proof-based, more visual, and definitely outside my comfort zone.

What I wanted was a structured program my son could work through independently, with clear instruction and real teacher support built in.

After researching several options, we decided to use Mr. D Math for geometry. Here’s how it works in our homeschool and why it’s been a good fit for us.

Geometry Curriculum for High School

After lots of research, we returned to our favorite Mr D Math for homeschool math.

Geometry doesn’t need to be hard or indeed feared if you have the right curriculum in place.

Yes, geometry is hard, even for us math lovers. But with the correct teacher and the correct approach, you can learn it step by step in a relaxed, and enjoyable way.

For our family, Mr. D Math addressed the biggest concerns we had about teaching geometry at home. He teaches the lessons as if he were in front of you. There are both prerecorded videos and worksheets you need to print out. The combination of video instruction and printable worksheets worked well for us.

We have opted for the self-paced lessons, carry on reading for our review of Mr. D. Math geometry.

There is a prerequisite that the child has completed an Algebra 1 course before starting with geometry. I think this is fairly standard though.

What Order of Math Do You Take in High School?

Most high school students usually follow a certain order when it comes to math courses. Here’s how it usually goes:

1. Algebra I
2. Geometry
3. Algebra II
4. Pre-calculus with Trigonometry
5. Calculus

Trigonometry can be taken as a separate course, but normally it is combined with either Algebra 2 or pre-calculus.

What To Look For in a Homeschool Geometry Curriculum

Geometry is different from algebra. It relies heavily on visual reasoning and formal proofs, so I was looking for a program that:

• Clearly teaches how to write proofs step by step
• Explains concepts visually, not just through formulas
• Provides built-in grading and answer keys
• Allows independent work without constant parent teaching
• Offers real teacher support if needed

Because we had already used Mr. D. Math in middle school, we felt confident trying their geometry course.

We’ve also used Mr. D. Math for other high school subjects, so we were already familiar with the teaching style before starting geometry.

Geometry Curriculum With Mr. D Math

With any of the Mr. D. Math courses, you can opt for self-paced or live instruction.

By choosing any of the self-paced online classes from Mr. D Math, you will receive access for 18 months. So no stress and no pressure.

The self-paced classes offer the following:

• Year-round learning so you can start your course any time of the year.
• Pre-recorded lessons.
• Computer-graded quizzes, test prep, and exams.
• Pace chart available to complete the course in 34 weeks.
• Access to a live teacher three times a week via scheduled extra help sessions.
• Daily email support.

The live classes are the same, but of course, have live tutors at a certain day and time. For geometry, there are 11 different times/days with 5 different tutors you can choose from.

Homeschool Geometry Course Structure

The Mr. D. Math geometry course structure is the same for both self-paced and live classes and is as follows:

1. Points, Lines, Planes, and Angles
2. Reasoning and Proof
3. Parallel and Perpendicular Lines 
4. Triangles
5. Quadrilaterals
6. Similarity

Semester I Exam

1. Right Triangle and Trigonometry
2. Area and Perimeter
3. Surface Area and Volume
4. Circles
5. Transformations
6. Geometric Probability

Semester II Exam

There is a mix of online pre-recorded lessons, and worksheets that you will need to print out.

Mr. D. encourages the children to be independent learners and mark their own work.

We started doing this about a year ago after we read Teach by Dennis Dinoia. Dennis Dinoia is Mr. D. and it is an excellent read, grab your copy today.

What is the Format of Each Geometry Lesson?

Within each of the chapters, there are about 8 lessons.

The children watch the video and then answer the questions that they have printed out.

When they have answered the questions they go back online to check their answers.

To finish the lesson they must take a short quiz online to check that they had actually retained the information.

Mr. D. Math Self-Paced Review

We both highly recommend Mr. D Math, we love the style of teaching, and I especially love that I don’t have to help! Geometry is hard, and certainly well over my head!

I am glad I can confidently leave geometry to the professionals.

Despite being excellent in math my son was definitely worried about geometry. With Mr. D. Math though he is actually enjoying it.

My son said to me this morning:

“Mom I don’t know why I was worried about geometry, this is really easy to understand.”

We both love that he encourages children to be independent, and the children are encouraged to mark their own work.

We will continue with Mr. D. Math for the rest of high school math.

Mr. D Math also offers other subjects. My son has already taken Mr D ASL and the homeschool economics curriculum, and they are also excellent.
