What reading level is The Teaching of Geometry book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A movable check D may be fastened by a screw C. A sharp point is fixed in B, so that as D slides along the edge of a board, the point marks a line parallel to the edge. Moreover, Fand G are two brass arms of equal length joined by a pointed screw H that marks a line midway be- tween B and D. Furthermore, it is evident that ffwill draw a line bisecting any irregular board if the cheeks B and D are kept in contact with the irregular edges.
Book II offers two general lines of application that may ...be introduced to advantage, preferably as additions to the textbook work. One of these has reference to topo- graphical drawing and related subjects, and the other to geometric design. As long as these can be introduced ^This illustration and the following two are from C. Dupin, " Mathematics Practically Applied," translated from the French by G. Birkbeck, Halifax, 1854. This is probably the most scholarly attempt ever made at constructing a " practical geometry." 218 THE TEACHING OF GEOMETRY to the pupil with an air of reality, they serve a good pur- pose, but if made a part of textbook work, they soon come to have less interest than the exercises of a more abstract character.
