BSRLM Geometry Working Group

The Geometry Working Group of the British Society for Research into Learning Mathematics (BSRLM) focuses on the teaching and learning of geometrical ideas in its widest sense. The aim of the group is to share perspectives on a range of research questions that could become the basis for further collaborative work.
