Siri can help you in Geometry
“Siri, can you help me get a better grade in Geometry?”
–“I suppose it’s possible”
Have you ever asked Siri some funny questions and heard her witty remarks? Like “Siri, why are you so awesome?” and she responds “I just am.” Or “Siri, what is the meaning of life?” and she says “All evidence to date suggests chocolate”. Haha! The Iphone 4s is such an incredible invention! It’s entertaining, it helps us navigate to places, connect us with our friends, gives us access to the web, and crazy enough, can even be a great tool to help educate us and our students in things like GEOMETRY and ALGEBRA. These days, youth in IRVINE and all across the United States spend 53 hours a week on media use, including iphones, tvs, computers, facebook, and videogames . Obviously, media is a draw to our youth, so why not incorporate study time in a way that will be effective, practical and fun? This can be done through downloading TUTORING, GEOMETRY, & ALGEBRA apps on the Iphone.
KA:Geometry is one FREE app that provides video TUTORS that help breakdown the concepts of GEOMETRY problems with angles, parallel lines, area and perimeter, circle radius, diameter and circumference, Pythagorean theorem, and triangles. Even more, they have games that allow the student to review the material in a fun way.
Math Ref Free is a FREE math reference application that gives over 1400 helpful formulas, tips, figures, and examples that range from ALGEBRA, GEOMETRY, to Physics and Statistics. When you are memorizing equations and working on homework, it is often helpful to have a “cheat sheet” that you can refer to and this app provides an easy access to a full list.
SAT Geometry Prep is a FEE app that will help students prepare for the GEOMETRY section of the SAT Math test. So when students need a break from their books, or are stuck somewhere with nothing but their phone, they can pull up this app and solve the problems and play the games that will help prepare them.

There are also websites on the internet that provide active, hands-on learning using media. A site that gets great reviews is luminosity.com. You can build your own personalized training program that works on your areas of interests- such as enhancing memory and attention, mental processing, flexibility, and problem solving which all relates directly to GEOMETRY.
Sometimes classroom settings in IRVINE or anywhere are not the most effective for students to learn hard concepts like GEOMETRY and ALGEBRA, so finding outside resources can be very helpful. Downloading apps that are fun, can be used anywhere, and that reemphasize lessons learned in classrooms can be just what a student needs to grasp the concepts. Since these apps help with generalized concepts of GEOMETRY, hiring a TUTOR can also help the student immensely by giving them the one-on-one attention they need and provide specific help to the Geometry students’ homework assignments and tests objectives.
Question to end with:
“Siri, where can I get the best geometry tutor for my son in Irvine?”
-“Duh. A+ IN HOME TUTORS. Everyone knows that.”
