[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dont understand who would subject their kid to that. what's the point?[/quote]

For a kid who is both interested in math AND good at math, Geometry in the summer usually facilitates taking a more advanced math class in their senior year.  In turn, this can both (a) improve the admission lottery chances into a college STEM program & (b) better prepare the student for math in college.  As a bonus, it sometimes reduces “learning loss” between the regular school year Algebra courses, [b]because they do not discontinue algebra studies for 12 months.[/b][/quote]

Neither does a student who takes geometry during the school year.  [b]Geometry is just applied algebra. [/b] Finding angle measurements, finding sides of triangles...it's just equations, systems of equations, simplifying radicals.  Algebra.[/quote]
Nope, not at all, seems you didn't learn geometry very well in school.

You are confusing synthetic geometry with analytic geometry.[/quote]
