Standards And Curriculums

Middle School

The Houston Independent School District (HISD) has adopted the Accelerated Math Pathway into its curriculum, placing all 6th and 7th grade students on a track to take Algebra 1 in 8th grade. Some students can even advance more quickly, taking Algebra 1 in 7th grade and Geometry in 8th grade. At the end of their 8th grade year, those students take a final exam to determine if they can receive high school credit for the Geometry class. If they do, they can take Pre-Calculus and AP Calculus once they hit high school, solidifying HISD’s commitment to preparing students for college and STEM-related careers.

High School

Texas requires three math credits to graduate, including Algebra 1, Geometry, and one other math course. If students haven’t taken Geometry in middle school, they’ll take it in either their 9th or 10th grade year. Building on algebraic reasoning, Geometry focuses on shapes, proofs, and spatial reasoning, all essential concepts to learn if students want to pursue a STEM-related career.

College

Houston area colleges and universities offer Geometry-focused opportunities for their attending students. Rice University, for example, houses the Geometry Lab, which pairs small groups of undergraduate students with graduate students and faculty for geometry research. Other higher education institutions, such as Houston Christian University and the University of Houston-Downtown, offer a wide selection of Geometry-based courses, and the University of Houston hosts the Complex Geometry and Complex Analysis research group.

Entrance Exam Test Scores

HISD Magnet And Gifted & Talented Programs

HISD STEM-focused magnet high schools do not require an entrance exam. Instead, students apply through the HISD School Choice Portal, and admission is decided by a Magnet Matrix Score: a combination of grades, standardized test results, and a lottery. Although there isn’t a singular HISD college-entrance exam to get into state-funded Texas colleges and universities, students who graduate in the top 10% of their class may be eligible for automatic enrollment into them.

SAT And ACT Scores

Some Houston students choose to take either the SAT or ACT as part of their college application package. Both contain geometry concepts (about 10-15% of the SAT math section and 35-40% of the ACT math section). HISD’s average SAT math scores for 2024 were under 500, while their average ACT scores were better, coming in at just above 22. Scores varied widely depending on the specific school. Top HISD magnet high schools did markedly better than standard neighborhood schools.

Programs and Resources

Math Programs

Houston-based college students have many opportunities to study geometry, and some local higher institutions also offer programs for high school students. The University of Houston, for example, hosts an annual mathematics competition for high school students in individual geometry exams as well as group projects.

Math Resources

The University of Houston offers STEM-focused programs and camps for students of all ages, such as their Science Engineering Fair of Houston and National Society of Black Engineers Fresh Start one-day STEM event, designed to inspire kids in grades 3 through 12. Additional after-school and summer programs include Aquinas Academy at St. Thomas High School, where kids can attend STEM-focused camp programs, a LEGO® mechanical engineering program, and even a “Geometry in the World” program.

Finding a Geometry Tutor In Houston

A geometry tutor specializes in congruence, similarity, trigonometry, two- and three-dimensional figures, circles, statistics, and probability. They can support skill-building, such as deductive reasoning, proportional reasoning, and using patterns to identify geometric properties.

Many Houston tutors are experienced in Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) standards. They know where Geometry fits within the mathematics continuum and can help your student focus on concepts they want to learn.

You may notice some signs at home, including your student’s frustration every time they pull out their homework, writing down answers to their homework problems without showing the work they did to get there, or avoiding geometry homework altogether.

Your student’s teacher may give you valuable information from the classroom, such as their test scores dropping or never answering questions in class. These are all indicators that your student may benefit from geometry tutoring.

Many geometry tutors can support each of these stages of geometry. The Houston Independent School District (HISD) prioritizes laying a basic geometry foundation in elementary school, focusing on shapes and their measurements, as well as spatial reasoning.

In middle school, students build on that foundation, learning to calculate area and volume, analyze angles, and use the idea of proportions to solve geometric problems. Finally, 9th and 10th graders take a math class dedicated to Geometry.

After you’ve confirmed with your student’s teacher that a tutor may be a beneficial addition to your student’s educational team, contact Grade Potential. We can connect you with local support from our network of independent tutors.

You take it from there, working with the tutor to determine a schedule and place to meet.

Tutoring in Houston can cost anywhere from $30 an hour to $90 an hour. The exact fee often depends on the tutor’s experience and expertise, your student’s grade and academic level, and the session format (online or in person).

For example, a tutor supporting an elementary school student with two-dimensional shapes may charge less than if they were working with a high school student learning how to create proofs using flow charts.

Independent tutors in the Grade Potential network may offer sessions online, in-home, or wherever is most convenient for your family.

Yes. Being involved in a student’s daily assignments allows a tutor to understand how they think and problem-solve, which provides valuable insight into the best way to support them.

A tutor can also support preparation for quizzes and tests. These classroom assessments give the tutor a good idea about where your student may benefit from additional support. In Geometry, this often falls into one of three categories: spatial visualization, formulas, or the logical steps to solving a problem.

They can. In Houston, all students take the state-mandated State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR) tests starting in grade 3 and going through high school. In addition, most high school students take the SAT or ACT.

Giving practice tests is a great way for a tutor to discover what concepts a student understands and where they might benefit from extra support.

HISD offers an advanced pathway for middle school students who want to get ahead in math. They can take Algebra 1 in 7th grade and Geometry in 8th. These classes often move at a rapid pace, and a tutor can support your student as they work to stay on track.

Houston students who don’t take accelerated math in middle school are placed in a Geometry class in 9th or 10th grade. There, they leap from working with visual concepts, such as finding the angle of a triangle, to more abstract ones, like justifying every step of their problem-solving logic.

A tutor can follow the curriculum with your student, helping them build confidence by taking time to revisit concepts they haven’t mastered yet.

Taking a college geometry course for the first time can be overwhelming. Class size tends to be large, and the professor often moves through concepts fast. For a college student taking an advanced course like Plane Geometry, working with a tutor can make a big difference.

The one-on-one connection means they don’t have to feel lost in the curriculum because they can take time outside of class, with their tutor, to get a strong handle on the new concepts they’re learning.

One of the best ways to prepare for the STAAR exam is by concentrating on the math skills that need strengthening. Geometry tutoring can be an important part of that process.

Because Houston tutors may be familiar with the TEKS Geometry standards, as well as the standards that come before them, they may be able to identify areas where your student could benefit from focused study.
