First Steps in Proven Geometry provides teachers of Middle schoolers with inventive approaches to bring students to experiences of geometry before theories and formulas. The author is a longtime Waldorf teacher and so is well-grounded in hand-son approaches to math and geometry. Placing experience and drawing geometrical constructions before theory and abstract formulas gives young people a deeper understanding and confidence in geometry and their own understanding of it. For parents, too, this book will give creative ideas for bringing their middle school sons and daughters to a sense of the beauty and magic of geometry with practical approaches and step-wise ideas for introducing geometrical form and function. Pictures do speak a thousand words and this is most true in geometry. Give the book a try for renewed and new understanding of the predictable clarity of geometric thinking
