As usual the geometry class was also very interesting, Dr Yeap encourage the student's learning by having quiz,which allows the students to think and participate actively. It was interesting to know that many students in the class came out with thier own strategy to find the total angle of a pentagon.
Van Hiele theory and the developmental perspective in the text book highlight the necessity of teaching at the child's level of thought, however any activity can be modified to span two levels of thinking, even within the classroom. He states that activities in geometry at instruction level 0 should involve lots of sorting and classyfying, they see how shapes are alike and differnt. As students learn more content, the relationships will become more sophisticated.
