While studying for my GED, I hit a wall as books of math instruction for adults tended to gloss over fine details or even skip them entirely, apparently expecting me to already know things that I had never learned in the first place. I borrowed a copy of this book from the public library, desperate for a fresh teaching voice- and got what I needed. The book taught with such effective authority I bought a copy from to keep.Contemporary's Number Power 4 begins at the beginning, assuming nothing, and guides the student page by page from the most basic geometry concepts to multi-step problems involving solids. In other words: It actually teaches geometry. And if geometry has never felt relevant to you, in the back of the book are several real-life examples of geometry at work, including a piece on pouring the right amount of concrete for a handmade patio.If other geometry books leave you confused or with blank spaces in your knowledge, try this one. Excellent for both the adult student or the kid with homework.
This series is my favorite all-time series of math books to use in tutoring adults for the GED. There are clear explanations for each step in learning and enough problems to challenge students on their comprehension of the material. I have recommended this series to several others who also tutor for the GED. I have been tutoring for 20+ years and have not found any other math series comparable to Number Power - for every phase of math needed for the GED. Nancy Ratlff
I purchased this for a student who was slightly ahead of the others and needed to move on. Since geometry is visual it helped her put her other math skills to good use in an area with some dimensionality -drawings are essential to grasping math concepts and show relationships between shapes and their mathematical foundation.
Contemporary's Number Power 4 Geometry a real world approach to math doesn't mention chords and secants.Schaum's Easy Outlines of Geometry(2001)(also written Schaum's Easy Outlines Geometry) is a better book.
This book is great, Im planning on retaking the ASVAB for my military career. Its been about 15 years since I've opened up a math book of any kind. I have searched high and low for a good Geometry study guide. Let me tell you, this book is great for refamilirization. Explains in detail how to solve problems. For beginners its also great, easy to understand, and sets a solid foundation for those wishing to continue with their studies in math.J
The Number Power series is one of the best resources for basic math. The explainations are always detailed and in a step by step fashion. If you are a visual learner and need a little help, try these book. Each book also contains: a pre-test, many problelms for each type of problem, problems using everyday situations and a post test.
I have used this book with much success in my GED classes. My students range in ages from 21 to over 60 and all of the Contemporary Number Power books are fantastic for their needs. The information is presented in an easy to understand manner and doesn't assume the learner knows the fundamentals.
Excellent book. Used it to prepare for my GED. I recommend this book because everything is explained in careful detail.
