description

Two key concepts strongly supported by the NCTM's Curriculum and Evaluation Standards for School Mathematics (1989) are (1) that geometry should be taught from multiple perspectives and (2) that it is necessary to make mathematical connections. Both concepts can be implemented by appropriately selecting topics that can be presented to students from several points of view in different environments and that can also link different branches of mathematics or mathematics and other sciences.
