Abstract
Abstract: This paper aimed to present the changes in the upper elementary school (grades 6, 7, 8) geometry learning area in Turkey after the reform movement of 2004. The methodology of the study was descriptive and included content analysis in terms of objectives, geometry content, and time allocation in geometry before and after 2004. A general conclusion of the study was that changes in the Turkish geometry education at the upper elementary level have been mostly limited with the rhetoric after 2004. The most prominent change was that the notion of drawing was replaced by the notion of constructingin order to be consistent with the constructive approach of the post-reform mathematics program.
