Introduction Mathematics is a special subject that requires a strategic teaching practice, which should be used to ensure effective delivery. To understand and apply the required teaching strategy, many factors have been raised as to the suitability of certain effective ways of teaching. Therefore, it is very important to outline the best practices in teaching and learning mathematics, especially how to approach the topics of space geometry, manipulative and technology. Sometimes, understanding of the subject becomes difficult for the students, even though the teacher can handle several concepts. It is in this regard that there is a call for doing this research to come up with alternative ways of handling geometry. The students in most instances need to relate what is contained in the book and the practical approaches to this subject matter. The teaching and learning strategies need to be fabricated towards the achievement of both immediate and long term goals in mathematics. This becomes the basis of discussion for this work because it will reveal how geometry helps in the understanding environment while in class or any other place. Main body Mathematics is a subject that involves measurements and relationships of the numbers, symbols, and figures, which help in the interpretation of any given value (Carpenter, Hebert, Murray, Wearne, Fuson & Fennena, 1997). Mathematics alone is a wide concept and it involves sub-branches like geometry, algebra and other space manipulative. It involves reasoning and understanding of the values and shapes depending on the circumstances of the presentation. Mathematics is important because it helps us in analysis, understanding of the figures and ratios. All adult persons and children appreciate mathematics. It is applicable in administration, business, teaching and understanding the values of finance. Geometrical mathematics, for instance, our families and children need to understand the shapes involved in their daily living. For instance, they need to know why some things like paper and walls are rectangular. Researchers have previously brought out geometric situations that emphasized shape and space as very important in helping children solve problems in mathematics. These applications of geometry include visualizing spatial arrangements, communicating orally, drawing and making of models, having logical thinking and general application of geometric concepts and knowledge. Mathematics is generally supported by the curriculum and in particular, geometric mathematics is very useful in the primary syllabus because it is at that point that recognition of shapes and lines is realized. According to the National Research Council and the committee on early childhood mathematics (2009), they had proposed development on the use of geometrical mathematics to teach younger children on the construction of shapes in a classroom setting by use of free materials which included the use of clay, boxes, and cartons. Construction with papers through folding, drawing shapes and patterns. These were very practical in enabling the children to understand the shapes and apply them most appropriately. Geometry, for instance, enables the children to understand real objects th
