Location: PL Dunbar		I dont have any websites/etc...but what i do with my adv. geo kids is have them keep a composition notebook with all of their theorems/postulates and definitions from each chapter in it. They have to write out the full theorem word for word like it is in the back of the book - same for definitions. Then I collect and grade on test day. It has helped a lot in students memorizing their thms, post, def - which is the first thing they really need to know before you can start working proofs.
