Abstract

The purpose of this article is to reexamine the van Hiele theory of levels of geometric thinking and to compare this theory with the geometry curriculum recommended by the NCTM's Curriculum and Evaluation Standards for School Mathematics (1989). Examples of activities for students are included to illustrate the ways in which van Hiele's theory can be translated into classroom practice.
