“…In fact, their perception towards world (e.g., shapes) is quite dissimilar to the adults (Piaget, 1929). For elementary learners, they first grasp the idea of geometric shapes by visualization (Costa et al, 2009) and this is done by recognizing the shapes by their physical appearances based on their real life experiences (Wu and Ma, 2006;Ozerem, 2012).…”

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of Van Hiele's phases of learning using tangrams on 3rd grade primary school students' levels of geometric thinking at the first (visual) and second (analysis) level. The study further investigated if high, moderate and low ability students acquire better mastery in geometric thinking at the end of tangram activities. Pre-test and post-test single group experimental design was employed in the study. A total of 221 students enrolled in Grade Three during the 2013 educational year formed the sample. The students learned Two-dimensional geometry and Symmetry through the Van Hiele's phases of learning using tangram. A geometric thinking test was administered to students before and after the intervention. The intervention took place for 3 hours. Paired samples t-tests comparing the mean scores of geometric thinking pre-test and the post-test were computed to determine if a significant difference existed. One-way Multivariate Analysis of Variances (MANOVA) was conducted to compare the students' pretest and posttest mean scores across the three groups: high, moderate and low ability students. The results found that there were significant differences between pre-test and post-test in students' geometric thinking. It was also found that Van Hiele's phases of learning using tangrams was able to significantly promote geometric thinking in the van Hiele's first (visual) and second (analysis) level among high, moderate and low ability students. Low ability students were observed to have the greatest improvement score compared to moderate and high ability students. Thus, the Van Hiele's phases of learning using tangram can be applied in primary school mathematics to help students achieve better level of geometric thinking.

“…The student can not be next level if the previous level has not been studied. The Van Hiele model continues to be the best-known theoretical account of the students' learning about shape and the children have to take a sequence of levels in a fixed order in their learning about shape [17].…”

“…Also, they used partition classification with side and angle properties when classifying quadrilaterals, while they were expected to make a hierarchical classification more commonly and set up family relations rightly. A survey of 28 seventh grade students in Cyprus to find out their difficulties in answering geometry questions of measures was carefully conducted by Ayşen Özerem [2]. The author used the descriptive methodology and student interview in the study to analyze and interpret the results.…”
