THE BASIC MATH WORD PROBLEM TUTOR

THE GEOMETRY TUTOR SERIES - LEARNING BY EXAMPLE

Accelerate Students Geometry Skills

Each problem covers a core topic in Geometry
Learn to solve problems step-by-step & line-by-line
Improve problem-solving skills
Working example problems of increasing difficulty

Geometry is frequently challenging for students because every problem involves a figure that students must use to solve the problem. It is very important early on to master the art of reading the geometric figures properly in order to do well in this subject. The best way to do this is to introduce the definitions early on and solve problems involving diagrams to give students the much needed practice. The Geometry Tutor series is geared towards students who have been exposed to Algebra 1 and are ready to tackle geometry.

Subjects covered in this series include points, rays, lines, triangle congruence and similarity, area of polygons, volume, circular figures, proofs and much more. The skills learned in this course will aid students in more advanced areas of math and science and are used in other Math courses, such as the Pythagorean Theorem, triangle similarity and geometric proofs.

The Geometry Tutor Series is a complete 20 lesson series covering all of the core topics in detail.

What sets this series apart from other teaching tools is that the concepts are taught entirely through step-by-step example problems of increasing difficulty. It works by introducing each new concept in an easy to understand way and using example problems that are worked out step-by-step and line-by-line to completion. If a student has a problem with coursework or homework, simply find a similar problem fully worked on in the series and review for the steps needed to solve the problem.

Students will be able to work problems with ease, improve their problem-solving skills and understand the underlying concepts of Geometry.

This series is best used in order from Volume 1 through Volume 20

Working with Intersecting Lines

This program takes the concept of a line one more step and students are taught how to solve problems that involve intersecting lines. The concept of a transversal is introduced and students are shown how to know which angles are equal when a diagram is presented involving an intersecting lines and a transversal. Parallel and perpendicular lines are introduced along with the interior and exterior theorems involving transversal lines.
