Customer Reviews: Good practice book if you have McDougal's ref book October 18, 2007 Ender Markal (San Francisco) 29 out of 29 found this review helpful
I use this book in my geometry tutoring sessions. It is a good source for extra problems for students using McDougal's Geometry at school. It is adequate for tutoring sessions or for homework purposes but it would be hard to use as a self study guide.The obvious cons are;
1. It does not have the answers in the back,
2. Does not include enough "proof" problems...
a decent workbook for Geometry June 22, 2008 Margaret Pellegrini (Rochester,MN) 11 out of 11 found this review helpful
This workbook is designed to go with the current(2007/8?) McDougall-Littel Geometry text. It has a worksheet for each lesson. Much of them seem to review topics from Algebra or prior Geometry curricula, so the work would be very repetetive for a student with a good grasp of pre-Algebra, and Algebra. It would be best used with a student who wanted to learn Geometry but didn't have a good knowledge of Algebra.
With those cautions, the workbook seems to have good problems and practice in Geometry and Algebra skills. There is plenty of room to work and the exercises are clear.
Not impressed January 9, 2010 Petra Landrum My daughter has this book in highschool. Of course it is only a workbook. The teacher hardly uses it, her teacher is great, and actually refers his struggling students to internet sites. What a shame that teachers are bound to books that are useless in the classroom.
Not a stand-alone resource May 5, 2009 B. Clarke 2 out of 5 found this review helpful
I got this thinking I would be able to practice problems without the main textbook.
I have a math minor but the lack of answers, sample problems, equations, or explainations made this virtually unusable as a tutoring tool.
I'm sending mine back.
