The main difficulties perceived in the teaching and learning of geometry

Abstract

This work aims to identify, analyze and describe difficulties in teaching geometry, while questioning its educational approach. Based on scientific articles and government documents, such as the National Curricular Base, a bibliographical research on the subject is carried out. The results highlight the negligence of geometry teaching, due to its omission and teacher training, harming its teaching. One wonders about adherence to the new curriculum base and the excessive focus on formulas, undermining reflective thinking. It is proposed to separate geometry from other mathematical areas to improve its teaching.
