Excerpt from Introduction to Geometry: A Manual of Exercises for Beginners
Along with this purpose, the practical side of the subject is also taken into account, the child's knowledge being tested, as he goes on, by his power to apply it. All that is taught him is connected with his ordinary everyday experience; and the attempt is made to lead him, in acquir ing new knowledge, to turn to use what he has already learned.
The writer acknowledges with thanks his indebtedness for assistance in revising the manuscript and for valuable suggestions on the work to Dr. George A. Bacon, Mr. Charles A. Lowry, Assistant Superintendent of Chicago Public Schools, and Mr. J. A. Foberg of the English High and Manual Training School.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book introduces the basic vocabulary and concepts of geometry, beginning with area and perimeter and progressing into more advanced spatial reasoning problems, designed to lead students to a permanent knowledge of these foundational principles. It was written after the author had discovered that problems with geometry were not in the subject itself, but in the way it was initially presented to students. This book provides the knowledge and practice children need through a series of grade school-appropriate challenges that help them visualize and understand geometric concepts. The author uses diagrams and drawings to guide students through constructing figures and solving problems. Skillfully situating this foundational information within a larger geometric context, the author inspires a desire to further explore the subject.
