Summary

This toolkit provides your students all the resources they need to be successful in geometry.  Each class period is composed of problem solving and critical thinking from a geometric perspective.  Most pages feature a helpful 2 column format with guided notes on one side and examples and problems on the other.  Two column proofs are included; however, the instructional focus is on reasoning and applying geometric principles.  Active learning, measurement, and hands-on methods are featured throughout.

MathXL assignments accompany every section.  For certain concepts, a page in the toolkit is available to use for homework.

While any geometry textbook can be used as a reference, the book has been written to reference Geometry:  Fundamental Concepts and Applications by Alan Bass, Pearson Publishing.
