are as follows:
1) Sequential: To get to any level above 0, students

would differ in the sense that instead of pointing out specific
shapes, students could sort different shapes into their correct
category for example, group all triangles together and squares
together etc.
Level 2 is being able to recognise the relationship between the

with students trying to find the minimal defining properties for
various shapes.
3.
We can classify these shapes by looking at basic properties.
Some shapes have pointed corners and straight lines while
