The author shows the necessity to take due account of elementary and analytical geometry’s peculiarities while teaching these disciplines: verbal proof using first notions like postulates, theorems and their conclusions are accompanied by analytic expressions: known formulas and equations, and also by visual imagery — drawings, or outlines. The author states that using these specifics of geometry it is possible to make the interactive study of this science especially effective by boosting the student’s intellectual abilities.

Keywords: interactive learning; elementary geometry; analytical geometry; second-order curve.
