Deductive Geometry  (English, Paperback, Guyamier Raymond)

Deductive Geometry is for students, parents, and teachers who need practice solving proofs in Geometry. Specifi cally, where Geometry is part of the 4e curriculum in a French program, or for American students taking Geometry between Grades 8 and 10. This book shows, step-by-step, how to reason and solve Geometry problems, by writing solutions in a clear, logical, and deductive sequence. This strategy is called, "modeling." Students learn, by imitating the method, and eliminating all the non-value adding verbiage that are distracting to the grader. By showing the core steps required to solve a problem, students avoid extraneous text and steps which make the solution diffi cult to follow, and diffi cult for the grader to evaluate with precision. The book should be used as a complement to a Geometry textbook. It is especially benefi cial for average students with diffi culties writing the solution to a problem in a logical deductive process. I would recommend the user of my book to, fi rst, try to solve the problems entirely, before comparing with the step-by-step solutions following each chapter.
