The van Hiele Levels ofGeometric UnderstandingbyMarguerite MasonAssistant Professor of Mathematics EducationUniversity of Virginia,Charlottesville,VirginiaA husband-and-wife team of Dutch educators,Pierre van Hiele and Dina vanHiele-Geldof,noticed the difficulties that their students had in observations led them to develop a theory involving Levels ofthinking in geometry that students pass through as they progress from merelyrecognizing a figure to being able to write a formal Geometric explains why many students encounter difficulties in their geometrycourse,especially with formal proofs. The van Hieles believed that writingproofs requires thinking at a comparatively high level,and that many studentsneed to have more experiences in thinking at lower Levels before learning formalgeometric Asked are the van Hiele Levels of geometry Understanding ?
