Summary/Abstract: Differences between the Romanian and the Swiss curricula in geometry are the subject of a comparison focusing on the moments of the introduction of certain notions and materials to the children. In both countries, the emphasis is on the decomposition and reconstruction of elementary surfaces. Both in Switzerland and in Romania, one of the key elements remains the role of the teacher and his ability to stage learning, curiosity, and motivation of the students, which is the driving force behind student learning.
