Designed for use within a junior/senior level geometry course, the topics covered in this text will enable the student to enhance their geometric skills, solve problems with a variety of old and new techniques (constructing models, conjectures, guessing, drawing pictures, etc.) and see how mathematical ideas are connected (similar solutions to solve different problems). Each chapter provides exercises, notes and a list of references for further reading.
