When did they put math into schools?
Math has been in schools as long as there have been schools.
How long has geometry been around?
A very long time, it was used to design the Pyramids and Stonehenge
Are Euclid's Elements still used today?
Yes. The geometry taught in today's public schools is based on Euclidian geometry.
What is the origin of geometry?
The Greeks started it This is a difficult question to answer since geometry has been around in one form or another as long as there has been written history. The Egyptians were making use of geometry to build pyramids even in prehistoric times. It was the Greeks, however who first began to rigorously study geometry and try to prove facts about it. Euclid was perhaps the most notable geometer of ancient mathematics and it was he who first axiomatized the subject (carefully defined the concepts crucial to geometry).
