An excellent book; highlighted some of the key issues with geometrical reasoning.
This text is a recommended read for student teachers, those with an interest in geometry and for the primary mathematics specialist. The book introduces the ‘big ideas’ of geometry to the reader with a varied amount of activities that help build geometrical understanding through reflection and visualisations. The book also contains a CD-ROM with an array of additional material to support geometrical understanding, including interactive activities and audio files.
I would recommend the book for readers who want to develop their knowledge in geometry. This book allows me to explore different ways to solve problem and how to explain it.
I very much liked the structure of the book and the fact that it had many examples and points of reflection. That said I would have liked to see a chapter about 'rich' mathematical geometrical tasks and a chapter where some students' geometrical solutions were shown in detail and aspects of developing students' thinking in geometry discussed in some detail. Overall definitely a recommended text for my students.
