The Geometry Tutor [repost]

The Geometry Tutor is a 9 hour course spread over 2 DVD disks that will aid the student in the core topics of Geometry. Geometry is frequently challenging for students because every problem involves a figure that the student must use to solve the problem. It is very important early on to master the art of reading the geometric figures properly in order to do wellin this subject. The best way to do this is to introduce the definitions early on and solve problems involving diagrams to give the student this much needed practice.

This course contains essential material to do well in Geometry. In addition, the skills learned in this course will aid the student in more advanced areas of math and science. Many of the topics in contained in this DVD series are used in other Math courses, such as the Pythagorean Theorem, triangle similarity, and geometric proofs. These skills are used time again in more advanced courses such as Physics and Calculus. Each topic in this DVD course is introduced by working example problems, beginning with the easier problems and gradually working the harder ones. In this way the student immediately gains confidence in his or her abilities and improves homework and exam taking skills. Hosted by James Gibson.
