This article aims to present the expansion of the HEM field and some research results developed during the 21st century on the teaching of geometry and the MMM, articulated, in order to problematize the representation built in the 20th century. The representation that the abandonment of geometry teaching is one of the consequences of the MMM can be revised, based on new theoretical-methodological contributions and research sources. A rereading indicates the need to review the abandonment, identifying a cooling of deductive geometry, questioned in the 1950s. The appropriations were multiple, with emphasis on proposals that sought a more didactic and comprehensive approach. We argue and defend with research results that such representation is no longer relevant considering the new HEM contributions. Understanding the complexity of the geometry teaching trajectory in the MMM period, through historiographical contributions, will certainly allow us to reconsider the representation of the abandonment of geometry.
