 I really like this book. January 10, 2004

This is an excellent resource for a traditional geometry course. I especially love the challenging problems at the end of each lesson. The homework problems have a wide range of difficulty that can accommodate the most advanced honors student, but it can also be used in a regular level class. No errors or typos in this book. Does not integrate technology, but I use GeoSketch Pad assignments to supplement in this area. I have taught with this text for four years and love it.
Great order of topics and no typos so far. May 4, 2003

I am using this book for the first time and I am loving it. No topics are left out. There is a logical flow from one chapter to the next. But, more importantly, I have not found a single mistake so far after having gone through chapters 1,2,3,4,5,&7 with a fine tooth comb.
Well organized book August 2, 2001

I have been using Geometry as the primary text in both my Geometry and Honors Geometry classes for several years. The book is very well organized and has a logical flow of topics. I have been able to teach from this book without changing the topic order. Geometry is a very traditional book, giving a substantial amount of time to the art of writing a two column proof. To me that is one of the objectives of my course; to help students to think logically. If I were to cite any objection to the book it is that I have to work hard to integrate technology into the course since the book does not readily lend itself to that. All in all however, I highly recommend the book.
 Thorough review of Geometry May 22, 2000

I have used this book in my Geometry classes for the past 2 years plus my student teaching. It gives a fairly thorough explaination of ideas and the resources that go with it along with the practice problems in the book give you enough problems to decide how in depth you want to get with each topic. My only complaint is that the way the book is set up, it encourages memorizing the theorems and ideas more by number than just by the idea, which is really important. Most of the topics are presented in a manner that is easy to follow when students go back to use the book as a resource. My school will continue using this book for a few more years.
