The author demonstrates how solving geometric problems amounts to fitting parts together to solve interesting puzzles. This book helps students discover relationships that exist between parallel and perpendicular lines; analyse the characteristics of distinct shapes such as circles, quadrilaterals, and triangles; and learn how geometric principles can solve real-world problems. "Painless" titles offer informal, student-friendly approaches to each subject, emphasizing interesting details, supplementing the text with amusing insights, and outlining potential pitfalls clearly and step by step. Students begin to understand how disparate details all fit together to form a clear picture. Timelines, ideas for interesting projects, and Brain Tickler quizzes in many of these titles help to take the tedium out of study and improve each student's grades.

The presentation of each idea with the reinforcement by multiple approaches actually does provide a "painless" progression of understanding. A terrific complement to her Painless Algebra. I particularly recommend these books to adults who were subjected to less than capable teaching when in school, although it seems certain that current school students may avoid many years of ignorance and inability to move on to greater understanding of their world by using these books to gain a basis for moving forward.
