Deductive Geometry

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.
