Geometry is one of the most ancient branches of mathematics. In order to 'understand geometry', learners should be able to infer in a deductive way as well as be endowed with enhanced visual competences. These prerequisites render plane geometry and solid geometry challenging for both teaching and learning. Hence, it is essential to consider creative ways for teaching the various branches of geometry in order to respond to the varied difficulties, while fostering deductive thinking and visual competences. This book aims to provide readers with a broad knowledge of the various aspects of creativity and its assessment and to expose them to creative methods and approaches to the teaching of geometry. The content of the book is grounded in the research literature that engages in creativity in general and in creativity in teaching in particular. The chapters collected in the book present the multifaceted nature of geometry teaching in a creative-integrated way while exposing the readers to the beauty of geometry.

This guidebook is for college instructors who teach a course in Introduction to Logic at a teachers college or provide a workshop in this subject for in-service mathematics teachers. It can also be used by high school mathematics teachers for teaching students who are capable and interested in Logic.Learning is based on reading Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, and discussing quotes from that book as a trigger for developing basic notions in Logic. This guidebook includes the student's worksheets with exemplary solutions, the background in elementary logic, and pedagogical comments. There is a student's workbook that accompanies this guidebook which includes the student's worksheets without solutions.Ordinary textbooks for such a course are purely mathematical in their nature, and students usually find the course difficult, boring and very technical. Our approach is likely to motivate the students through reading the classic novel Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, written by Lewis Carroll who was not only one of the best storytellers but also a logician.

This is a student's workbook that accompanies the teacher's guidebook of the same title. It is for students who take a course in Introduction to Logic at a teachers college, whose instructor decides to provide students with a learning environment based on reading Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, and discussing quotes from that book as a trigger for developing basic notions in Logic.This workbook includes worksheets for independent work or for small-group activities. It is also possible to use this workbook in a workshop for in-service mathematics teachers, and also for teaching logic at high school level for capable and interested students.
