Deductive Geometry: Deciphering the Proof a Comprehensive Solution Guide (Volume 1)

Deductive Geometry is for students, parents, and teachers who need practice solving proofs in geometry. Specifically, 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 that make the solution difficult to follow and difficult for the grader to evaluate with precision. The book should be used as a complement to any geometry textbook. It is especially beneficial for average students with difficulties writing the solution to a problem in a logical deductive process. I would recommend the user of my book to, first, try to solve the problems entirely before comparing with the step-by-step solutions following each chapter.
