Classification (defined by properties)
Hierarchy (shapes can have more than one
name)
10
Attributes
e.g., thick, pointy, curved, big, long, yellow.
Properties
e.g., has three sides; has four right angles;
has diagonals of equal length; has six
faces.
11
Quadrilaterals
Planar (flat), closed (“no gaps, no extras”)
shapes with four straight sides.
12
• has four straight sides, planar and closed
so is a quadrilateral
• also has a pair of parallel sides so is at
least a trapezium
• actually has two pairs of parallel sides so
is a parallelogram
• has right angles so is a rectangle
• has all sides equal in length so is a square
13
• has four straight sides, planar and closed
so is a quadrilateral
• also has two pairs of adjacent sides equal
in length so is a kite
• actually has all sides equal in length so is
a rhombus
• has a right angle as well so is a square

Van Hiele Levels
Level 1. Visual. Children at this level identify and
operate on shapes according to appearance. They
use the idea of congruency of visual properties and
identification is based on these visual properties
such as “it is a cube because it looks like a box” or
“it is a rectangle because it looks like a door.” At
this stage, little attention is given to properties of
the shapes. Research done in the United States
found that at least half the Grade 6 children were
still operating at Level 1.
15
Van Hiele Levels
Level 2. Descriptive/Analytic. At this level the properties of
shapes assume precedence with children characterizing
shapes by their properties. The focus is on relationships
within classes rather than relationships between. A cube is
now a cube because it is three dimensional with all faces the
same sized squares. Students should be operating at this
level when they enter high school and at the early stages of it
as a minimum. Only 44 percent of students in the US were
operating consistently at Level 2 at Grade 9. Other studies
have shown that 40 percent of students complete high school
below Level 2.
16
Van Hiele Levels
Level 3. Abstract/Relational. Students are able to
deal with abstract definitions, understanding the idea
of necessary and sufficient conditions, recognizing a
hierarchy, and reasoning about the properties of
classes of figures. Logical argument is part of this
level. Internationally, most geometry curriculum
strive to attain this level.

Three Basic Types of 3-D
Construction
• a solid construction using moulding type
material or solid material that can be cut
• a net construction where faces are joined
• a framework construction focusing on the
edges.

Mathematics Debates
For each of the statements, decide whether
it is:
• always true
• sometimes true – and specify conditions
when it is true
• never true.
You must be able to justify your answer.
59
A.
B.
C.
All triangles tessellate.
All quadrilaterals tessellate.
A 2-D shape whose diagonals bisect each other is a
rectangle.
D. A 2-D shape with diagonals equal in length, intersecting at
right angles, is a square.
E. If I make a single planar cut through a cube, the only
shapes I can make are a square, a rectangle, and a
triangle.
F. The diagonals of a cube intersect at right angles.
G. There are only five solids (Platonic solids) which are
regular in every respect, so they have the same regular
polygon for all faces and all angles between faces are the
same

Always true
Fold arms
Sometimes true – and when it is true
Clasp hands
Never true
