5.0 out of 5 stars
fantastic,
This review is from: Zome Geometry: Hands-on Learning with Zome Models (Paperback)
A wonderful tool to understand better the possibilities of Zome kits. I would say it is ideal for a math lovers who are at least 12 years old, for them to work well with Zome. Not everything in the book will be comprehensible in the first shot, but it's the kind of book a young Math lover is meant to grow with.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Good guide for geometry teachers,
This review is from: Zome Geometry: Hands-on Learning with Zome Models (Paperback)
But a little too involved for those of us wishing to guide elementary school level children through more advanced zome structures. Will have to dust off those parts of my brain to concentrate on this long enough to slog through it...
