Abstract

For a long time, research into students' geometry performance has been regarded as an essential research topic in mathematics. By outlining an innovative mathematics teaching model and offering sample lesson practices from geometry on how to implement the model in the Turkish setting, the purpose of this chapter is to give an international perspective on reform-based practice in mathematics teaching and learning. The chapter focuses on a model for teaching geometry classes that incorporates realistic, exploratory, technology-enhanced, and active (RETA) principles, as well as its implementations in Turkish middle schools. It presents the different approaches of teaching geometry, common geometry classroom practices in Turkey, the previous models leading to the RETA model, and finally, a review of the RETA model's principles together with their benefits and drawbacks followed by a discussion.
