Teaching and Learning of Geometry pre 19

This report on the Teaching and Learning of Geometry pre 19 by Taro Fujita and Suki Honey (University of Exeter) was commissioned by the Joint Mathematical Council of the United Kingdom (JMC).  This report reviews the current evidence on teaching and learning geometry in the UK up to the age of 19, updating the 2001 Joint Mathematical Council/Royal Society report on teaching and learning geometry. The 2001 report set out eight ‘principles’ and 16 ‘recommendations’ for teaching and learning geometry for 11–19-year-olds. While most of the 2001 report’s conclusions remain valid, this report highlights the need to make more explicit statements about geometrical reasoning in the current curricula and to update assessment and exam questions related to geometry.
