A Text Book of Geometry – Prepare for IAAT
1. Why this book?
After your child finished the “First Algebra Book“, you might start the classic “Geometry Textbook”. I don’t need to repeat why the classic is not dead even after a century. It is very easy to understand and very solid in the basics.
To be honest, geometry is THE dividing point.
For many kids, to survive the geometry is the key to succeed in later physics and calculus.
Lots of very bright kids lose their momentum in high school after they cannot ace in geometry.
This is the book that will give your child confidence in geometry. It is the milestone for his/her high school success. The TJHSST entrance math test assumes that you have finished plain geometry. If your child has not taken the geometry class in middle school, his/her chance to get in TJHSST is very small. This is the book to give your child the solid base for him/her before he takes the geometry in middle school.
2. What is the best book to start?
I have done thorough researches on all available geometry books. Nowadays, the book is printed with color and contains beautiful pictures. But it lacks the basic logic under the beauty of the geometry that fascinated Euclid over 2000 year old.

3. What benefits will my child get from this book?
This book will build up his/her confidence in geometry and then help him/her aces in all AP physics, pre-calculus, calculus and many other topics. It will surely help him/her to improve her PSAT and SAT math score.
4. When should I start my child with this book?
You should start it after your son finish the “first algebra book”. In most Asian country, geometry is given in 2nd year in middle school. So you can start this book when your child in grade 6.

I prefer the PDF version. I normally print out the chapter I will use with my son. After he is done with that chapter, I will print out the next one. It is very easy to use. You can print it out anywhere, at home or at work. You can take the printed pages with you when you are on a vacation, or with your child during after school programs. The PDF version is the version printed 1898. It is legal copy. The purpose of providing this PDF is not for profit. It is to provide parents with an alternative path to accelerate you child’s academic success. If your child gets ahead with geometry, he/she would get ahead in his/her classes in math, physics, chemistry, TJHSST entrance test or SHSAT (Specialized High School Admissions Test), then AP classes. |
