Clarifying Level Descriptors for Childrens' Understanding of Some Basic 2-D Geometric Shapes.

Peer reviewed

Pegg, John; Davey, Geoff – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 1989

Written descriptions by students in grades 3-7 (n=274) of common 2-dimensional geometric shapes were examined to compare the level descriptors of the van Hiele Theory and the SOLO Taxonomy. Results indicate that descriptors associated with the SOLO Taxonomy more accurately describe the quality of student thinking. (MDH)
