Welcome to Geometry!Mr. Felling

Geometry is a little different from other math classes.

Some people find they like, and do well in, geometry, even if they didn't like algebra.

Geometry is more visual and less abstract.

Two general kinds of problems in geometry:

1) Practical, real-world measurementand shape problems:

2) Problems designed to practice problem-solving strategies'mental weightlifting':
