Review # 1 was written on 2015-03-29 00:00:00 Jonathan Southard Very different type of geometry text. It has no rigor and is more for trying to get you to do more critical thinking about geometry. A lot of it is concepts from topology and puzzles like the 4 color puzzle or bridge problem. A lot of history, outdated programming and informal presentation led me to skip over pages, then chapters and I just put the book down. It was an attempt to try something new and get kids engaged but it didn't work. Some of the critical thinking problems were good but having a page to explain "A need for standard units in measuring" is overkill. The filler needed to be cut out but that would have led to a small textbook so I get why they did it. Anyways, I would pass for something else.
