Includes brief, quick review of the essentials of basic high school geometry.


Advanced Euclidean Geometry provides a thorough review of the essentials of high school geometry and then expands those concepts to advanced Euclidean geometry, to give teachers more confidence in guiding student explorations and questions. The text contains hundreds of illustrations created in The Geometer's Sketchpad Dynamic GeometryA(R) software. It is packaged with a CD-ROM containing over 100 interactive sketches using Sketchpada" (assumes that the user has access to the program).
