Great Geometry class support materials

I really like the text "Discovering Geometry" by the same author, but the district didn't re-adopt his book. This paperback book has a lot of great activities for the geometry classroom that are easy for a new teacher to use no matter what text the district adopts. Also, there are puzzle-type figures in each section that are terrific for review.

Math Teachers gives this "Two Thumbs Up!"

This is an exceptional book that really gets kids interested in the geometric relationships and properties AND ALLOWS STUDENTS TO DISCOVER... After working with this book for a few lessons on Angle Properties, students begged to "do patty paper!" for every geometry lesson.

Very do-able for teachers who have never used patty paper.

Comes with great worksheets that corresponded well with my curriculum.

Great Explorations

This book is excellent if you are looking into teaching or learning geometry from a discovery based approach. I am a first year geometry teacher and picked this book up at the National Council for Teachers of Mathematics. It includes an incredible unit on fractals; I'm going to go buy some tracing paper right now to try it out.
