Advanced Mathematics

Ease Your Students Into Geometry. Key to Geometry offers a non-intimidating way to prepare students for formal geometry as they do step-by-step constructions. Students begin by drawing lines, bisecting angles, and reproducing segments using only a pencil, compass, and straightedge. Later they do sophisticated constructions involving more than a dozen steps and are prompted to form their own generalizations. When they finish, students have been introduced to 134 geometric terms and are ready to tackle formal proofs. There are 8 books in this series. Answers and Notes are sold separately, as are Reproducible Tests. Book 6 Focus is on Angles. 56 pages. Softcover. Learn More
