Visual Mathematics Series: Intermediate Geometry Problems

Synopsis

The problems in this book are suggested for evaluating the concepts taught in the intermediate geometry class. The problems are of a highly visual nature and meant to be challenging. The problems are designed to lead to a merging of geometry and art at the middle school level.The problems presented in this book include:* Visual problems to determine area of various iterative polygon based shapes* Visual representation of solid objects to determine their volume* Visual medley of circles, squares, and triangles to determine their relationships* Determining properties of angles, triangles, square, and rhombus * Visual problems for determining equivalence of geometric properties of polygonal shapes* Determination of area of objects using reference objects as basic elements* Visual representations of lines and triangles to solve problems based on equations* Identifying intersection points for an underlying visual diagram* Application of Pythagorean Theorem to problems represented visually* Applications of factorization and LCM to problems on area and volume* Changes to area of triangles based on various construction techniques* Inferences for area or angle measures of unknown elements in constructed diagrams
