I've been teaching geometry for several years and this is the first book that I have found that has almost everything in it that I need. The teacher pages are well-written and the student pages are very well done. This book works well for both high school students who are studying formal geometry and for younger students who may not be as advanced. Thanks!

I find the worksheets very useful. I have been using it since day 1 in my Geometry class. It has a variety of exercises and the applications to everyday-situation is interesting. Try it!

I don't see this book as an activities kit. It is more of a workbook meant to review geometry skills and concepts.

Bad points:
* The work required to complete the activities (or worksheets) doesn't focus on the rigor of geometry.

* If you're a high school or middle school teacher, some of the activities may be too simple.

Good points:
* There are teaching notes and answer keys for each activity.

* The work for each activity is of average difficulty--maybe 15-20 minutes for students to complete on their own.
So if you don't know what to have students do while you're out sick, this book has many ideas. You might even use an activity from this book.

* Since there are more than 100+ activities , this book does a good job of covering the whole scope of geometry--excluding proof. There are even suggestions on research you can assign your students.

* The authors did a good job of making geometry concepts relevant to students--like relating parallel lines and perpendicular lines to numbers and text, angles to formations of hands on a clock, etc.

If you're a new geometry teacher, you'll get many ideas on what to teach and how to teach geometry.

If you're a seasoned geometry teacher (10+ years), it might be a good idea to pass on this book.

If you teach middle or high school geometry, you need this book. It contains great assignments designed to help students learn and have fun doing learning. Try it, you will love it.

Excellent Resource. Better than I expected. Many Worksheets and Activities.

Last Geo Activity Book I ordered didn't specify it needed a CD which wasn't included.

I am always looking for different and hopefully fun ways to teach or reinforce different skills. I like the descriptions of "how to" do the problems and I like the difficulty involved.

This book was definitely not what I thought it would be. I teach Geometry in New York State, which is a rigorous Regents course. (10th grade). This book was not organized in a way that you would think. The different topics were randomly placed and many of the activities were either too easy or too difficult. This book was of no use to me. I had to return it.
