New Video Previews Geometry Workbooks

A new YouTube video previews the Geometry Workbook series from Schottenbauer Publishing. 
As featured in the video, students can use the books to practice using a protractor to measure angles. Students can also practice using a ruler to measure size, calculate area, and estimate proportions to real-life scale. Each printed book contains 30 pages with one diagram per page, including ample space for drawing, making calculations, and taking notes. 

 The books range in difficulty from easy to difficult. Easy topics include ballet, yoga, and cars, which present simple angles without distraction. Advanced books, featuring more complicated angles, include Summer Olympics, Winter Olympics, Archery & Fencing, Gymnastics, Figure Skating, Water Sports, Architecture, Home Construction, and Gardens. These books can be integrated into elementary classes in math, art, and physical education.

 Consider the following excerpt from The Geometry of Home Construction.

Truss Designs Excerpted from
"The Geometry of Home Construction"
by M. Schottenbauer, Ph.D.

Discussion Questions
  1. Measure all the shaded angles in each diagram. Write the numbers on the diagram directly.
  2. For each diagram, make a table with all of the angles listed in order, from lowest to highest.
  3. For each diagram, calculate the: (a) maximum angle, (b) minimum angle, (c) average angle, (d) median angle, and (e) modal angle.
  4. Identify whether each angle is a right angle, acute, or obtuse.
  5. Which diagram has the most right angles? Acute angles? Obtuse angles?
  6. For each diagram, make a table listing the number of right, acute, and obtuse triangles.
  7. Which diagram has the most right triangles? Acute triangles? Obtuse triangles?
  8. Using a ruler, measure all line segments in each diagram. For each diagram, make a table, listing line segments from short to long.
  9. Which truss design is taller? Wider? 
  10. Which truss design contains more triangles? 
  11. Which truss design requires the most wood?
  12. For each triangle, calculate the area. 
  13. For each diagram, make a table and list the areas from smallest to largest.

Geometry Workbooks



Adventures in Geometry


 Students can now learn Geometry in style! This book series consists of geometry workbooks on practical topics, including architecture, home construction, gardens, cars, and sports! These books can be integrated into traditional mathematics classes. Students can use the books to practice using a ruler to measure size, calculate area, and estimate proportions to real-life scale. Students can also use the books to practice using a protractor to measure angles. Each printed book contains 30 pages with one diagram per page, including ample space for drawing, making calculations, and taking notes. 

 Topics include: 
























All sports books feature a cartoon character, Blue Dude, who demonstrates common sports moves and who is color coded: red for right, and lilac for left. The book on cars also features several appearances from Blue Dude. Blue Dude does not appear in the books on architecture, construction, or gardens.

The books are available both in print, and reduced-cost e-book format from Amazon Kindle. When viewed in Kindle, the size of the drawings depends on the display characteristics, affecting some measurements.

All geometry books are available in English and German. Several books are now available in additional languages:
