Rybkin's Planimetry Problems
by N. A. Rybkin
Ages 12–16 · Grades 6–9
The companion problem collection to Kiselev's classical Russian geometry — now in English for the first time. Rybkin's Planimetry Problems is the set Russian students worked through alongside Kiselev's geometry textbook for over a century. Kiselev gives the definitions, theorems, and proofs; Rybkin gives the problems that turn those proofs into geometric intuition. 970 problems across 16 sections, organised chapter-by-chapter to mirror Kiselev's Planimetry — from preliminary concepts and lines through triangles, quadrilaterals, similar figures, the circle, regular polygons, and the measurement of areas. Worked solutions for the harder problems, hints for the rest.
