The Geometry link contains examples and explanations of geometric theorems and definitions. Proofs of the most common theorems are given with explanations of the reasons for each step.

Math Forum
The Math Forum contains excellent links for the geometry teacher. Math Forum's The Geometry Problems of the Week are designed to provide creative and non-routine challenges for students. Problem-solving and mathematical communication are key elements of every problem. Past problems and solutions are given in addition to the current problem.

M. C. Escher: Artist or Mathematician?
This site contains a history of M. C. Escher's life and his works. Escher's tessellations can be viewed in full by choosing from a listing of the selections. Students can also learn about the symmetry in tessellations from the mathematical classification of tessellations using examples of Escher's works.

Euclid's Elements
The author of Euclid's Elements created this site to "rekindle" an interest in Euclid's Elements using the web and to show how Java applets can be used to illustrate geometry. The text of all 13 Books is complete, and all of the figures are illustrated using a geometry applet. This is an excellent site for the mathematics teacher who loves geometry.

The Math Archives Geometry Link.
This site contains over 100 links to geometry topics on the Internet.
