Teaching Systems Geometry Complete Series

Copyright 2001

Welcome to the many-sided world of Geometry. Your class will be amazed as postulates and theorems become popular and angles and areas become awesome! The Standard Deviants take a humorous and unique angle when teaching difficult Geometry concepts. Graphing, postulates and theorem will be approachable and entertaining with this video program.
