Description
In this course, you will :
- Solve fun geometry puzzles while also developing a solid foundation of problem-solving skills with angles, triangles, and polygons.
- You'll also improve your visual intuition and learn how to devise clever, creative solutions to difficult problems.
- If you know how to measure angles and calculate the areas of rectangles, circles, and triangles and want to learn the next level of geometric problem-solving techniques, this course is a great place to start (or continue) your exploration of geometry.
