Topics at this site center around the concepts of shape and space in
geometry. It includes a lot of background information, theories and games.
This is a good site for early geometric concepts leading to perimeter and
area. Interesting point made at this site: Since many people think
well visually, the visual nature of geometry can allow it to become a doorway
to their success in math.
