The Van Hiele Levels at Czech Secondary Schools
AbstractThis paper focuses on the results of a pilot study based on the van Hiele theory of geometric thinking at Czech secondary schools. The van Hiele theory describes how young people learn geometry. It postulates five levels of geometric thinking.

A Comparison of U.S. and Chinese Geometry Standards Through the Lens of Van Hiele Levels
The present study aims to compare the geometry standards in U.S. Common Core State Standards of Mathematics (CCSSM) and Chinese Compulsory Education Mathematics Curriculum Standards (CMCS) through the lens of van Hiele levels. The study considered a standard unit as one or multiple learning expectation(s) and placed each learning expectation into van ...

Assessment standards, Van Hiele levels, and grade seven learners’ understandings of geometry
A number of researchers in mathematical education assert that the instruction in geometry offered in South African schools is inadequate and that traditional teaching strategies do little to promote teachers understandings of their learners’ levels of ...
