Our live online Geometry and Honors Geometry courses for middle school and high school homeschoolers are also offered in a self-paced format.
-
Live Class: Students meet live with their instructor and classmates for 75 minutes once a week. These live sessions provide a review of topics found in the weekly lessons, additional examples offered by the instructor for practice and small-group collaboration, help with proof-writing, and plenty of time to ask questions.
-
Self-Paced Classes: Students cover the same material as the live class, but all instruction is delivered by teacher-produced videos.
-
Live and Self-Paced--Optional Live Study Halls: In addition to the live classes, the instructor will offer a weekly study hall. The study hall is available to all students, including those taking the self-paced class and can be utilized in two ways:
-
Individual questions. Students can drop in to a Zoom study hall at any time to ask questions.
-
Homework time. They can join a Zoom study hall and work on their math homework with mics muted and videos on or off. They can then unmute to ask for immediate help when questions arise.

Foundational Elements
Geometry and Honors Geometry include weekly teacher-recorded instructional videos in addition to the live classes. During a typical week, students might see some of the following:
-
Videos, guided notes, and practice problems that are aligned with concepts being covered each week
-
Homework sets and proof writing assigned and completed within WebAssign, providing immediate feedback
-
Regular "checkpoint quizzes" to test understanding of terms and concepts
-
Quizzes and chapter tests that assess students' mastery of topics
-
Games (similar to Kahoot and Jeopardy)--where students solve puzzles/riddles and complete fun-Geometry related assignments in live class review weeks
-
Short instructional videos demonstrating the use of geometry in the real world and application projects where students expand their understanding of the "how," "where," and "why" of geometry use in everyday life
Coursework is teacher-graded, and students receive individual weekly feedback and assistance on submitted work.
Core and Supplemental Resources
Your digital resources fee includes:
-
An ebook of McGraw-Hill's Glencoe Geometry (2018),
-
The ebook offers built-in study tips, supplementary videos, links to on-the spot explanations, concept checks, applications to real life, and hands-on activities to solidify concepts.
-
-
Cengage's WebAssign, which offers students instant access to homework results.
Free interactive apps such as GeoGebra and Desmos will help students create, visualize, and investigate properties of lines, angles, circles, triangles, and other polygons, solidifying relationships between the properties of geometric figures.
Honors Option
Students who choose the honors option will be presented with supplementary instruction and practice that will reinforce and expand on topics covered in the class. Those choosing the honors option should plan to spend an additional 1-2 hours per week on classwork; however, some students find they can master the material more efficiently than that.
With live instruction, a combination of print and interactive resources, a friendly online classroom, and weekly live study halls for additional one-on-one help, Ashley Porter strives to engage students and help them enjoy her classes as they successfully develop a foundational understanding of the topics of geometry.
More about Ashley Porter
_edited.jpg)
Ashley Porter is a graduate of North Carolina State University, where she earned a Bachelor of Science in Applied Mathematics and two minors--in Statistics and Environmental Science--all in under four years.
For as long as she can remember, mathematics and its relationship to daily life has fascinated her. Throughout high school and college, her amazing teachers helped nurture a love for mathematics and its unique language. Her passion for numbers grew exponentially with each new concept learned. Originally attending NC State in hopes of pursuing a Civil Engineering degree, Ashley
switched to Applied Mathematics and Statistics in her sophomore year, as she quickly found a deeper passion for abstract topics--where two multiplied by two no longer equals four.
Before college, she took every math class her high school offered, while also tutoring her peers in a variety of math topics. During her sophomore and junior years at NC State, she was a Teacher’s Assistant for Calculus 2. Her experience tutoring in both high school and college kindled a passion for teaching. Her goal is to provide a positive learning environment, preserving the importance of mathematics while empowering students to unlock the ability to see it in a whole new way. Ashley is committed to helping students develop a growth mindset as they tackle and learn difficult topics in math. Her sincere hope is to help others increase their love of math through fun and optimism.
Some of her favorite math topics include geometry, abstract algebra, logic, and statistics. In addition to teaching high school math at Blue Tent, Ashley currently tutors online at Zooming Through Math, and previously taught mathematics in a private school in Clayton, North Carolina.
Ashley and her husband live in a small town just south of Raleigh with their baby (well, fur baby). She loves traveling, playing board games, hosting friends, drawing and journaling and is actively involved in her church community. In 2016 she traveled to Indonesia, Germany, and the Netherlands, making a full 360-degree circle around the globe in under 30 days.
