This study guide offers extensive notes to supplement high school geometry courses.

Styled as a notebook filled with clear, concise class notes, this volume covers 10 units of progressively more complicated geometry concepts over the course of more than 600 pages. Beginning with the basics—points, lines, planes, and angles—the chapters work through triangles, quadrilaterals, and polygons; right angles and trigonometry; and area and volume, among other topics. Large, clear text that resembles handwriting on blue-lined paper presents information that is organized in tables, lists, definitions, extensive diagrams, and step-by-step sample problems. Capital letters, bold font, highlighting and colored text, and diagrams make important concepts stand out against the ample white space so it is easy to locate specific topics during study sessions, whether flipping through pages or using the table of contents or extensive index. Each chapter ends with a quiz with answers immediately following. The explanations of concepts are clear, sometimes using everyday examples to make the ideas accessible. The skills are carefully scaffolded with sample problems for straightforward digestion and practice, though the more complicated topics may require repeated exposure for retention. As with other books in the series, this notebook is intended as a supplement to a traditional textbook and course, and it serves this purpose well.

A reference work that makes high school geometry a little easier to learn.
