If Geometry has your students running in circles, the Standard Deviants can help! This series covers everything from basic geometry – such as lines, points, angles and triangles – to high school geometry, where your students will learn the different types of theorems, formulae and postulates they’ll need to tackle those tricky proofs. (6 x 26:00)

Figuring Out Area
The Standard Deviants show you how to figure out the area of everyday shapes, like circles, squares, rectangles, triangles, parallelograms, and those tricky trapezoids. Next, how to find the surface area of some funky objects like cylinders. Finally, how to figure out the volume of prisms, cylinders, and spheres.

Geometry Companion CD-ROM
This companion CD-ROM is packed with robust supplementary materials: Lesson plans, viewing guides, teacher reference guides, students activities, worksheets and tests.
-
Geometry Basics
The Standard Deviants introduce some great geometry basics, like points, lines, planes, and space. They also cover postulates and theorems too, and throw in a bit about angles.
-
Angles 101
The Standard Deviants introduce angles and their theorems, parallel lines, and traversals, plus a few nifty postulates about angles. What’s a postulate? Stay tuned to find out. Get ready to untangle those angles!
-
Triangles
The Standard Deviants introduce you to the whole triangle family. You’ll learn different ways to describe triangles, pick up a couple of handy rules for working with them, and find out why the word “acute” doesn’t mean good looking.
