Hi everyone,
I'm struggling a lot with geometry. I've found algebra, number theory, and even calculus to be relatively intuitive. However, when I took geometry, I found it very challenging. I stumbled my way through the class and can do the basic 'textbook' geometry problems, but still struggle a lot with geometry in competitive math. I find myself consistently skipping the geometry problems during contests (even the easier/first ones).
It's difficult for me to see the solution path. I can do the simpler textbook tasks (eg. find congruent triangles) but not more complex ones (eg. draw these two lines to form similar triangles).
Do you have any advice, resources, or techniques I should try?
