Question 1: Geometric thinking Read the following statement referring to Van
Hiele’s Level 3: Deduction, and then answer the questions that follow.
Learners can now develop sequences of statements that logically justify
conclusions. Given an isosceles triangle for example, learners can prove that
the angles opposite the congruent sides are equal. 1.1. Clements and Batista
(1994) classify Van Hiele levels from 1 to 5. Using examples, discuss the
levels 1 to 3 in detail. (6)
Clements and Battista (1994) classify the Van Hiele levels of geometric thinking from 1 to 5.
Here, we'll discuss the first three levels in detail, providing examples for each to illustrate the
progression of geometric understanding.
Level 1: Visualization (Recognition)
At this initial stage, learners recognize shapes and objects based on their appearance but do not
understand their properties or relationships between them. They can identify and name geometric
