Geometry Workbook For Dummies
John Wiley and Sons Ltd, Nov 2006, Pages: 312
From proofs to polygons — solve geometry problems with ease
Got a grasp on the terms and concepts you need to know, but get lost halfway through a problem or worse yet, not know where to begin? No fear — this hands-on guide focuses on helping you solve the many types of geometry problems you encounter in a focused, step-by-step manner. With just enough refresher explanations before each set of problems, youll sharpen your skills and improve your performance. Youll see how to work with proofs, theorems, triangles, circles, formulas, 3-D figures, and more!
- 100s of Problems!
- Step-by-step answer sets clearly identify where you went wrong (or right) with a problem
- Get the inside scoop on geometry shortcuts and strategies
- Know where to begin and how to solve the most common problems
- Use geometry in practical applications with confidence
According to the National Assessment of Education Progress, almost six out of ten students take geometry. This workbook features a variety of hands-on geometry problems so students can apply the principles and test their understanding of complex concepts, terms, theorems, proofs, and techniques. While its compatible with our bestselling Geometry For Dummies, students can use this workbook independently to review the principles of geometry and practice working problems. And because geometry proves difficult for many students, parents can also use the workbook to brush up on geometry so they can help their children.
