Teaching Plane Geometry Through Real-Life Applications: A Systematic Review

This systematic review examines the integration of real-world applications into the teaching of plane geometry, addressing educators' challenges and their impact on student engagement and comprehension. Drawing on 21 empirical studies published between 2010 and 2025, the review emphasises the crucial need for effective pedagogical strategies that link geometric concepts to real-world contexts. Findings indicate that teachers often rely on rote memorisation, resulting in gaps in students’ understanding and performance. Despite advancements in technology and instructional methods, significant barriers remain, including inadequate teacher preparedness and rigid curricula. The review emphasises the importance of real-life application in plane geometry and ongoing professional development for teachers to enhance their instructional practices. Ultimately, the study advocates a concerted effort to improve teacher education and to integrate real-world applications into plane geometry education, thereby fostering deeper student engagement and understanding.
