Abstract
The teaching and learning of Geometry has been identified in much of the literature as being problematic and the mathematics strand where many teachers feel least knowledgeable and least confident to teach. This paper describes a school-based project which sought to develop teacher knowledge and confidence in this strand via the use of Professional Learning Communities (DuFour & Reeves, 2016) and Instructional Coaching.
