    This study is an attempt to reveal which teaching models are adopted more by mathematics teachers in Turkey, how they conduct geometry courses and the views on an effective geometry courses. The research is case study. Eight teachers, each with 8 hours, were observed for 64 periods in geometry courses. After that, semi-structured interviews (30-35 minutes) were carried out with them. The data were analysed using content analysis. As a result of analysis, it was shown that teachers subscribed to constructivist approach in interviews, although they used traditional teaching methods in their lessons. Consistencies between teachers’ behaviours and statements were examined in terms of effective mathematics teaching. Consequently, the inconsistencies were observed about problem solving and associating mathematics with real life. It was thought that putting in practise the reforms on education would help for overcoming these inconsistencies.
