Recommended by many classical home educators:
Jacob's Geometry (revised 3rd edition):
1) Exploration and Discovery - short lessons followed by a sequence of exercises allows students to learn as they go, developing understanding through practice; the motivation and gentle step-by-step approach is especially effective.
(2) More focus on informal and paragraph proofs reflecting current NCTM standards, so students can develop their deductive reasoning and problem-solving skills.
(3) Definitions, Proofs and Theorems are streamlined to make them accessible to a broad range of students without compromising their mathematical integrity.
(4) Examples and Exercises - more diverse examples from around the world and 75% exercises are new.
(5) Algebra reviews and SAT problems included.
(6) Reference tools in the student text and Geometers Sketchpad projects in the teacher's guide.
Topics include: nature of deductive reasoning, lines & angles, congruent triangles, inequalities, quadrilaterals, transformations, area, symmetry, circle, concurrence, polygons, geometric solids, and non-Euclidean Geometries.
And now there is a NEW instructional DVD available to help homeschool families struggling with geometry. This could be the solution for those of us who have become D.I.V.E. - dependent!
