Geometry Workbook For Dummies
|
Description: |
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.
Author Information
Mark Ryan, a graduate of Brown University and the University of Wisconsin Law School, has been teaching math since 1989. He runs the Math Center in Winnetka, Illinois (www.themathcenter.com), where he teaches high school math courses including an introduction to geometry and a workshop for parents based on a program he developed, The 10 Habits of Highly Successful Math Students. In high school, he twice scored a perfect 800 on the math portion of the SAT, and he not only knows mathematics, he has a gift for explaining it in plain English. He practiced law for four years before deciding he should do something he enjoys and use his natural talent for mathematics. Ryan is a member of the Authors Guild and the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics.
Geometry Workbook For Dummies is Ryan’s fourth book. Everyday Math for Everyday Life was published in 2002, Calculus For Dummies (Wiley) in 2003, and Calculus Workbook For Dummies in 2005. His math books have sold over 100,000 copies.
