Interesting Geometry Text

[gstharr]

My son's 6th grade math circle is starting up a geometry class. The text will  be Geometry in Problems,  Alexander Shen (translated from Russian) available through the American Mathematic Society (bookstore,ams,org).  The text is certainly different from any other.  The AMS  bookstore is quite interesting. Books covering all aspects of math--mostly way, way, way over my level of interest and comprehension, but a fun browse.

I checked the book out at AMS and it looks pretty cool.  Could be a fun way to approach geometry.

The class starts this week. I'll report in a month or two.
