An investigation into the Van Hiele levels and proof-writing achievement of level 1 geometry students in Newfoundland
The main purpose of this study was to determine the van Hiele levels and proof-writing achievement of grade 10 students in Newfoundland. Another aspect of the study was to determine the relationship between students' van Hiele levels and their proof-writing achievement. Other concerns of this s...
