Geometry: A Complete Course A-C Set

The VideoText Geometry program contains 176 video lessons divided into 8 units. The program covers:


THE STRUCTURE OF GEOMETRY,

ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS - Fundamental Terms, Fundamental Theorems,

SIMPLE CLOSED PLANE CURVES - Triangles, Other Polygons, Circles,

LOCI AND CONSTRUCTIONS, and

TRIGONOMETRIC RELATIONS.



The VideoText Interactive Geometry program addresses two of the most important aspects of mathematics instruction. First, the inquiry-based video format contributes to the engaging of students more personally in the concept development process. Through the frequent use of the pause button, you, as the instructor, can virtually require interaction and dialogue on the part of your student. As well, students who work on their own, can “simulate” having an instructor present by pausing the lesson every time a question is asked, and trying to answer it correctly before continuing. Of course, the student may answer incorrectly, but the narrator will be sure to give the right answer when the play button is pressed to resume the lesson. Right or wrong, however, the student is regularly engaging in analytical and critical thinking, and that is a healthy exercise, in and of itself.



Second, each incremental concept is explored in detail, using no shortcuts, tricks, rules, or formulas, and no step in the process is ignored. As such, the logic and the continuity of the development assure students that they understand completely. Subsequently, learning is more efficient, and all of the required concepts (topics) of the subject can be covered with mastery.
