Instructors Who Teach This Course: Mrs. Marsha Jackson
Required Text(s) Students must purchase and possess the required text(s) by the first day of class. Order early:
- Clark Kimberling, Geometry in Action, bundled with Geometer’s Sketchpad student edition. This bundle must be order through the publisher, Key College Publishing.
- ISBN 978-1-93191419-2.
- The phone number to call for this is 888 877 7240.
- You may also order the book Geometry in Action (978-1-931914-02-4) and sketchpad (student edition 978-1-55953-528-1 or full edition ) 4th edition separately. The book should also have a cd(not Geometer’s Sketchpad) with assignments in it. Either way should be less than $100 for both the textbook and Geometer’s Sketchpad.
