The Text Critical Thinking Approach to Geometry & Measurement Topics is recommended by Colleges, Universities, Secondary Schools, Home Schoolers, and Self Study Students because it emphasizes understanding, learning, and relearning of mathematical concepts as opposed to memorization. This practical course in Geometry fosters Student Success and enables the Teaching of math concepts because of the extra amount of time allowed to master these needed concepts.

Critical Thinking Approach to Geometry & Measurement Topics contains the curriculum for a year Geometry math course normally taught in 10th grade or in a review sequence in college. This practical course in geometry presents all the theorems needed for college or university math courses. Many students struggle with geometry through no fault of their own. Over stress on proving theorems in geometry courses has caused many students to have a frustrating experience that can result in a loss of self-confidence. Critical Thinking Approach to Geometry & Measurement Topics features a comprehensive, step-by-step approach that simplifies complex concepts by breaking them up into bite- size pieces, using high quality illustrations, and providing real-life examples. Geometric facts are presented first leaving the proofs until after the concepts are understood. The mathematics is presented in an understandable way in order to maximize success in this course. The Geometry & Measurement Topics Text in the Arithmetic to Algebra through Pre-Calculus Series contains all necessary topics needed to understand Beginning Algebra. The complete Table of Contents for this text is presented at the bottom of this web-page.

There is also a growing case for Teaching Geometry before Algebra; new research (based on the findings of Piaget, Montessori, Snow, and Thompson) indicate that when adolescents learn patterns and objects first they understand the focus of Geometry; learning the facts of geometry is more concrete and easier than the abstract code found in algebraic algorithms.

For students pursuing a degree, even in mathematics or science, the geometry presented in this text will be sufficient for them to successfully complete their degree program. All of the necessary geometry is presented in an understandable way in order to maximize success in this course.

The Test Kit contains a Placement Test, 4 Criteria Referenced Unit Tests (one for each Unit), and a Final. All tests have been developed using the suggestions and guidance of the University of Chicago Testing Department. These multiple-choice tests are designed to test mastery of the content by students.
