Sažetak
Despite the importance of geometry in mathematics curriculum, the trend in reduction of geometry in school mathematics is ongoing. This raises the question concerning geometry competencies students acquire in school mathematics. The goal of this exploratory study was to analyze grade 3-6 students’ understanding of geometry by using drawings, and through it to gain insight into school geometry nowadays. The results show that students have a rather narrow understanding of geometry. While fundamental idea of and their construction dominated in the students’ drawings, fundamental ideas of , coordinates, and geometrization were minimally present. Based on the data, the results are discussed with regard to their theoretical and practical implications.
