That's enough to get a start, anyway. I'm not sure whether any relate well
to any worksheet pages, but perhaps something will click.

My 11 yo also loves Geometry--we got the Key Curriculum Press, Key To
Geometry Series--you can probably get it through FUN. She's sailing through
it. Does Janice Van Cleve have a Geometry for Every Kid book?
Here's another website: Sacred Geometry

Yes. It is called,
Geometry for Every Kid (Surprise??!!), published by John Wiley &Sons .
ISBN 0 -471 -31141 -3

My daughter really enjoyed this as she could do it alone. She is 11 years
old and is a sequential learner and likes to be independent...runs in the
family (the latter that is!).

Interesting thread. Thanks everyone for the different math sites.

Well, it's not on the web but . . .

My son has really enjoyed using the Math Blaster Geometry CD. It's pretty
challenging but has different levels that you work thru.

If you can get it on sale somewhere, it might be worth a try!
