<p>Gosh, Geometry is such a pain to teach yourself. I am talking about teaching yourself Geometry, Chapter 1 through the end. I am getting no help from teachers, barely parents and friends. Also memorizing ASA,ASS<– those types of postulates is a pain and picturing 3D images… I sure miss when i was Top in the class for Algebra 1 Advanced, out of more than 300 students.
I am teaching myself to get ahead in my highschool career.</p>
<p>I did Geometry, Algebra 2, and Precalc by myself. Here’s the key:
- Cram for the midterm
- Cram for the final
- Do Algebra 2 immediately after you finish Geometry
- Immediately cram for the SAT.
- Forget everything related to Geometry and move on to Precalculus, because Precalc and above have almost nothing to do with geometry.
- ?
- Happiness.</p>
<p>Precalc and above have almost nothing to do with Geometry?
No point in learning Geometry… -__-</p>
<p>Oh god, I hate geometry.</p>
<p>It was my worst subject of all of my high school classes.</p>
<p>if you’re gonna teach yourself then all I have to say to you is have fun with proofs</p>
<p>geometry is a pain
so dumb…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Well, the proofs of specific sin and cos values use the knowledge of 45-45 and 30-60 right triangles.</p>
<p>And hey, if you’re going to calc, you’ll need some geometry formulas when you get to related rates!</p>
<p>Geometry is “hard math” because it has lot more spacial-kind of thinking that’s different from the formula/equation-based manipulations in basic algebra courses.</p>
<p>If you can understand both the algebraic and the geometric representations of the math concepts, great job to you.</p>
<p>geometry was my favorite math course. more fun than algebra</p>
<p>geometry was a cakewalk…I hope you people who think it’s hard don’t want to go into math or engineering</p>
<p>high school geometry curricula are trivial, but, taught the right way, geometry is extremely hard and extremely fun. buy “geometry revisited” by coxeter and greitzer. read it. love it.</p>
<p>If U Think Geomtry Is Hard Then U R A Dumb******</p>
<p>The proofs were so stupid. We had to write like 6 different steps just to say that if two angle were congruent, then they were also equal. I learned more about proofs from like one round of USAMTS than a year’s worth of Geometry.</p>
<p>Geometry was hard because my teacher was a *****.</p>
<p>Those 13 steps proofs we had to do were ********.</p>
<p>geometry is an evil subject of doom. it’s not so much that it was hard, it was just time consuming and annoying.</p>
<p>Man, I remember geometry. My teacher had the highest IQ of my entire school so, yeah, it was pretty challenging. Half of our first semester final was proofs. And every once n a while we’d get those 20 something step proofs. Ten steps if youre lucky. </p>
<p>I can’t wait for Alg2/Trig.</p>
<p>Our teacher (I took Geo in middle school) was relatively easy compared to what I’m seeing in this Thread… our proofs were mostly 5 or less steps and we spent only a few weeks on it</p>
<p>I think geometry is actually easier to self study than to learn in a class room. Some people are really good at geometry because it’s all deductive, while others need to work harder at it.</p>
<p>If U Think Geomtry Is Hard Then U R A Dumb******</p>
<p>I thought it was hard and I have As in all my classes this year, including Math.</p>
<p>It really depends, Geometry Regular class is actually quite mediocre. Opposed to Geo Honors, now thats a whole different ball game!</p>
