Description:

Davidson's Geometry Blaster covers a full year's geometry curriculum - 52 subject areas. Each lesson has an animated video chalkboard lesson with step-by-step instructions, examples and applications. The lessons are presented in clearly understandable terms and even includes an on-screen geometry handbook and online glossary.

Notes:

While we had to install Geometry Blaster twice, after that, we had no problems at all. The animated sequences are very smooth and clearly presented, the audio is nicely done. AND, as a bonus, now we know that my own high-school Geometry teacher, Mr. Grady Roe, did not labor and shake his head over my attempts to master the subject in vain. But I could've learned it faster and without so much anxiety if we'd had this a few years ago, that's sure!

Features:

Geometry Blaster is the best of Davidson's Blaster series yet! The curriculum covers: Triangles, Angles, the Pythagorean Theorem, Properties of Polygons and Circles, Coordinate and Transformational Geometry and too much more to list here. You'll find ten multimedia activities and a customized program to allow users to select subject areas and levels of difficulty. Further, the title tracks individual progress. We enjoyed the Tanagrams and Geoboard as well as angling around in the Pit of Despair.
