Abstract

This article shows and analyses a work developed in a context of initial training of teachers in the Geometry field. The experience starts from the need of link the training activities with the teaching-learning process of the elemental Maths. In this sense, the course centred on the design, practice and analysis of lessons of geometric content, focusing -in the formation process- on the component of educational and professional content over the mathematical content (already studied in the previous course)
