Elementary School Geometry – Wikibooks

This workbook provides explanations and exercises stepping through aspects of elementary school geometry from drawing a line and defining a point, up to an introduction to Pythagoras’ theorem, irrational numbers, and fractals. A perfect workbook for homeschooling, classroom use where no prescribed text is available, or for after-school study to help re-enforce the concepts learned at school. Elementary School Geometry provides simple easy to understand explanations and exercises to consolidate.

Geometry is a wonderful discipline to engage a love of maths, especially for those not numerically orientated since it is a graphical or visual representation of the essential basis for many mathematical proofs. This is a perfect guide for parents or teachers working with a child to explain the amazing field of geometry.

The book is based on the classic concepts from Euclid’s Elements.
