Math Series - Book 1 - Pre-Geometry

Sep 28, 2026

Uploaded by Stanford

Pre-Geometry Book 1 introduces core pre-geometry skills for students, parents, and teachers through a straightforward teaching-and-testing approach. The book supports the transition from basic operations to geometry by keeping abstractions and structural logic to a minimum. Each pre-geometry topic includes an explanation followed by multiple exercises to reinforce the modeled reasoning. Measurement is supported by a Beginning Assessment Test and a Post Assessment Test, with answers provided for exercises.

These Pre-Geometry books will help parents and teachers directstudents in the transition from basic mathematics to geometry.These two books are a natural extension of our Straight ForwardMath Series and Advanced Straight Forward Math Series whichhave presented the basic and advanced mathematical operations ofaddition,subtraction,multiplication,and division. Pre-Geometry Book 1 and 2 provide the mathematical skills needed by students to succeed in geometry groupings.Abstractionsand structural logic are kept to a minimum.Each pre-geometrytopic includes an explanation and multiple exercises to reinforcethe modeled explanation presented. Two measurement tools are provided.A Beginning AssessmentTest will survey a student's beginning pre-geometry skill level.APost Assessment Test will measure how well the pre-geometryskills have been mastered. Exercises can be completed in the book or on separate paper.Answers to exercises are provided.
