Though I have said all of the above, Zoe the Linear wants to work through
some Geometry thing. She's almost done with the Key Algebra series. What do
you recommend? Jacobs?

Maybe Mighty Math Cosmic Geometry computer game before anything else -
it is lovely?

If she liked doing the Key to Algebra series, then maybe she'd like the
Keys to Geometry?

Hey Paula - maybe you can get her to go through one of the really cool
math concept/activity books - she can do it from the first to the last
pages and satisfy her urge to do it that way - but would probably get a
lot more out of it than a regular geometry text - even Jacobs (which is
very cool). "How Math Works" is a good example. Or "Joy of Mathematics"
by Theoni Pappas.
