Painless Geometry

by Lynette Long

Book Overview

The thought of solving theorems or postulates leaves some students quivering in their boots. . . but not anymore This must-have guide takes the pain out of learning geometry once and for all. The author demonstrates how solving geometric problems amounts to fitting parts together to solve interesting puzzles. Students discover relationships that exist between parallel and perpendicular lines; analyze the characteristics of distinct shapes such as...

REVIEW FROM THE AUTHOR

I am the author of PAINLESS GEOMETRY and PAINLESS ALGEBRA. I read past reviews about the errors in the book and for that I apologize. I want you to know that the new edition of the book published in 2009 is essentially error free. I have put a lot of thought into creating PAINLESS GEOMETRY so that it could teach geometry painlessly. Each example and exercise was chosen to teach both obvious and hidden lessons. I have taught high school and college math, served as a school principal and have written twenty math books. I thnk PAINLESS GEOMETRY is the easiest and best constructed book on the market. I hope you give it a try.

Math Wiz Simplified

Great tool for young mathematicians new to Geometry. Supplements school textbooks -- exercises in the book facilitate review of concepts learned in class.

Have you used this book?

I've been meaning to write a review to respond to those on this page for a while. I guess I have used so many math books that contain an error or two that I just can't possibly throw away such a good book over that. The fact is that we homeschool and my son LOVED this book which we picked up at the library. It is full of wonderful, hands-on work and SIMPLE explanations that make geometry easier to understand than most other books we tried - yes, truly understand because you not only had it explained well, but also "did" something on paper or folding paper to experience it. He enjoyed it so much that when I picked up another Painless book at the used book store, he wanted to start it that day, rather than waiting 'til next semester. So I don't know if y'all just glanced at the book or really tried it, but this family tried it and loved it - and I own a red marker so I can cross out the one incorrect answer I found in my edition!
