Mastering Essential Math Skills GEOMETRY Grades 4-6

I love this book. I teach special education math at the high school level. I use a textbook issued by my school, but I needed something else to supplement the text for further understanding. This book is perfect. It is simple and clear. Very straightforward. Each page has review exercises (which I use as a bell ringer), then the lesson, then a word problem. So it gives you a little of everything in a neat and tidy format. For my students, repetition and routine is important, and this allows for that. They know what to expect for each lesson. It covers all the necessary topics for my students. For more advanced geometry, this may not be enough, as it does not go into detail or goes over the more complicated skills in geometry. However, for my students and class this is perfect. It is basic but fits my purpose well.

This book makes geometry easy and fun! I liked how the steps were clear and not confusing. The assignments helped me practice a lot. I would tell my friends to try it too! Review written by my son krishaan

I've used a few of the Fisher math skills for my kids and have to say that for the most part, they are great, particularly if you get the DVD/book combo where there is a short segment to watch and then a page or two to follow with the book. He is a good teacher and reinforces the previously learned material. What my one complaint would be is that we've come across several mistakes and when I tried to reach someone through their website, I never received a reply. It's unfortunate when your child is learning something and the given answer is incorrect; the editing hasn't been thorough enough in checking answers to all the problems. Having said that, though, if you help your kids this shouldn't deter you. We've been happy with the program overall. Also, I'd love to have the DVD option for every book.

Well written - clear and concise. Richard Fisher's has easy to follow instructions and problems that directly relate to what was taught. Daily review problems covering past subjects help cement the work in the student's mind. If you have trouble, you may email him and he promptly answers. Some of his books have on-line teaching available - like the Algebra I. Great resource! Well done!! Hope he does Algebra II soon and H.S. level Geometry.

We enjoy using the Richard W Fisher Mastering Essential Math Skills series as a part of our homeschooling curriculum.

I am very pleased with Richard Fisher's Geometry in his Mastering Essential Math Skills series. The instruction is clear and to the point. The Review Exercises section is an easy way to check if one has learned the previous concepts. The Helpful Hints section teaches the next concept. Then there are practice problems to use the new skills. The work is presented in a visually appealing fashion that is easy to understand. This geometry book is great for mastering basic geometry skills.

My homeschooled child loves Geometry from previous exposure; I chose this and he flew through it, understanding the concepts in this well-presented workbook. I learned some things, too. Not for advanced proofs but learning basics in a clear, concise way.

I was looking for something to use as worksheets, but it is illegal to copy the pages. The pages do not have room to show the work so the book did not fit my needs. I did not think there was enough of the content I was looking for to justify the price I paid. If you need basic geometry practice problems for one child and are okay with work shown on a separate sheet of paper, then this book may work for you.

I’ve ordered a few of his books, I’m prepping for a aptitude test I’ve found them all amazing. The lesson plans are so good and breaks it down easily.

Great! It was precisely what I needed.

This book really helped my son with his Geometry unit. Sure makes Geometry easy to understand! Highly recommend this book!
