Summary: Geometry! Clearly and Concisely Presented--Finally!
Review: Geometry! Clearly and Concisely Presented--Finally!I am a high school special education/alternative education teacher in Oregon, working with special needs youngsters. Contemporary's "Number Power 4: Geometry" by Bob Mitchell offers an excellent, concise presentation and review of geometry. The book is an excellent resource as a first introduction to students of the principles of geometry, or as a review for students studying for their GED, SAT or even GRE. In fact, I have recommended this book for teachers who must take the CBEST for teacher licensure in Oregon! The chapters are succinct, clear, and use real life applications and examples that students will find relevant and engaging. The pages in this worksheet format booklet are laid out clearly, very clearly, and are easy for the student to negotiate. After clearly presenting the beginning principles of geometry in short concise lessons, "Number Power 4: Geometry" gives the student plenty and frequent opportunity for them to check their understanding. This is one of the strengths that sets "Number Power 4: Geometry" apart from other textbooks. Here, students don't have to suffer through pages and pages of instruction before their comprehension is tested. Students will find the book engaging, trust me. I recommend "Number Power 4: Geometry" without reservation! You won't be disappointed. -John Bain

Summary: An excellent source for instruction of fundamental geometry
Review: This book was a life saver for me!! I used to to learn geometry to study for the GRE. It was written at a basic adult learning level, and thus there remains little need for a tutor. The chapters are clear, short, and use real life adult examples!! A great resource!! Chris P. Abilene, TX
