AB -  ADRIAN OLDKNOW, FIMA CMATH By the time this article appears in print I very much hope that the report of the Royal Society/ JMC Working Group on the teaching of geometry 11±19 will have been published. That group is currently involved in the assembly of drafts for the chapters, and a major task has been to grapple with the issue of the future content of the curriculum. Here they have had to take into account the current situation in schoolsÐwhere very few mathematics teachers have learned much geometry themselves. These teachers, though, are currently receiving National Lottery funded training in the use of ICT in teaching mathematicsÐor, if not, should be doing so in the near futureÐand that training may (or, rather, should) include the use of software for geometry such as Cabri GeÂomeÁtre. 1. Some background: Euclid, conics and locus When I took my O-levels 40 years ago there was a whole paper solely on GeometryÐand this was still the case when I was teaching in a secondary school in 1969. That geometry, taught from a standard text book such as Durell's Elementary Geometry (1), was synthetic plane Euclidean geometry consisting of theorems, proofs, lemmas and exercises.
