Geometry
Thinkwell's Geometry course contains all of the geometry help you need. This complete online Geometry course is fun and easy to use, because of the fun and effective videos. After watching a geometry video lesson, you can review and practice with automatically graded exercises that give you an instant feedback, as well as printable geometry worksheets with answer keys. It covers the same material as the most popular geometry textbooks, so it's a great study aid for learning the concepts that you didn't learn from your teacher. And because it's available for one flat rate, instead of by the hour, it's much better than a geometry tutor.
Our videos feature award-winning teacher Edward Burger, whose multimedia video lessons have been created to work with any learning style. The course includes automatically graded exercises and tests, geometry practice worksheets, a geometry glossary (geometry dictionary) of geometry terms, and our interesting and easy-to-use animated Interactivities.
Our complete Geometry package includes:- 12-month Online Subscription to our complete Geometry course with video lessons, automatically graded geometry problems, and much more.
