Discovering Geometry: An Investigative Approach

...takes a "hands-on" approach so that a student is required to actually "do" geometry -- as opposed to memorizing postulates and then stacking them to generate proofs...in so doing, the student taken through typical stages of investigation -- an observation leads to a speculation leads to an hypothesis that leads to a search for what is needed to confirm the hypothesis...what the student acquires are skills at problem solving that are more general, more realistic, and more practical to the real world...more mathematical types might argue that there's not enough good ol'Euclid...however, my opinion is that Euclid and his proofs are basically mind numbing and I know of no evidence to suggest that such an approach is particularly beneficial...

The book arrived fast and in great condition. I was happy with the service although I was worried a little before the book arived, because the seller didn't respond to me email.

Excellent condition. I used least expensive shipping so textbook took a while to arrive.
