Pereira, Peter – 1985
Some mathematics educators feel that too little geometry is taught in elementary schools. This may have serious effects as many students arrive in the traditional high school geometry course without essential backgrounds in informal geometry. The result of this lack of preparation is often lower scores on standardized tests. In this situation,…
