How we scored them

The Shelf Score weighs fit for the reader, contents and edition, value, and the listed reading age or level where one is given. One of the five picks lists a reading age; the rest are aimed at students without a stated age. How we pick explains the weights.

Scores run from 9.2 to 9.8: each book’s point total is placed on that range, so more points always means a higher score. Reading age or level counts on a list where at least one listing gives one, and a book whose listing gives none then scores zero on it. Where no listing gives one, the score is taken over the other 85 points. Books carry no warranty, so warranty is not scored.

How to choose the best geometry practice book

Drill volume or guided teaching

The 1001 Practice Problems book gives the most repetition with 1001 problems and online practice. Tutor in a Book’s Geometry takes the opposite approach, with 500 worked proofs that explain the reasoning. Pick drill volume for exam prep, guided teaching for learning from scratch.

Check the age and level

The Humble Math Geometry II lists ages 10 to 15, so it suits middle schoolers starting geometry. The other full-data picks do not state an age, which is normal for general study guides. Match the book to the student’s grade before you buy. For more math options, see math workbooks.

Look for an answer key

The Humble Math book states an answer key is included in the back. The 1001 Practice Problems book includes detailed answer explanations for every problem. When no key is stated, plan to check work against a teacher or tutor.

Before you buy

• Confirm the edition on the listing, since practice books are reprinted with changes.
• Check whether an answer key or solutions are included or sold separately.
• Match the book’s approach to the student: drill problems, guided lessons, or quick reference.
