Description

A clear, two‑part introduction to geometry, this textbook is crafted especially for primary‑grade classrooms. Written with the practical needs of teachers in mind, it presents each concept step by step, using straightforward language and simple illustrations that suit young learners.

The author argues that geometry belongs alongside arithmetic in early education, noting that even children as young as seven can grasp its basic ideas. By focusing on shapes, sizes, and directions, the book helps develop logical thinking and equips students with skills useful in trades such as carpentry and surveying. Filled with concise explanations and practice problems, it gives pupils a solid foundation they can build on long after they leave school.
