Lessons in Experimental and Practical Geometry (Annotated)

This edition of Lessons in Experimental and Practical Geometry from No Fear Schoolhouse Press contains the complete and unabridged text from the 1911 edition, all of the original images, plus over 35 pages of articles: Irene Stephens' complete pamphlet, "The Teaching of Mathematics to Young Children," published in 1912; over 25 pages of "Charlotte Mason Math" wisdom! W.T. Wilkinson's "Notes of Lessons" for Form II Geometry, originally published in Parents' Review in 1903. Dorothea Beale's Parents' Review article titled "Geometry," originally published in 1895. Lessons in Experimental and Practical Geometry is an excellent option for Charlotte Mason educators and homeschoolers to use alongside other resources. From the Preface: "To give to a young pupil clear mental pictures should be the first object of geometrical teaching: to enable him to express geometrical ideas in the form and order required by strict deductive reasoning is a second and distinct object. Experience shews that these two aims may to some extent be separated with advantage; and accordingly Formal Geometry is now very generally preceded by a short preliminary course of practical and experimental work. In the preface to our School Geometry it is suggested that a suitable introduction to that book would consist of “Easy Exercises in Drawing to illustrate Definitions; Measurements of Lines and Angles; The Use of Compasses and Protractor; Problems on Bisection, Parallels, Perpendiculars; The Use of Set Squares; and the Construction of Triangles and Quadrilaterals; these problems to be informally explained, and the results verified by measurement. Concurrently there should be Exercises in Drawing and Measurement designed to lead inductively to the more important Theorems of Part I.” It is the purpose of these Lessons to supply such an introductory course."
