Question 1: Geometric thinking
Read the following statement referring to Van Hiele’s Level 3: Deduction, and then answer the questions
that follow.
Learners can now develop sequences of statements that logically justify conclusions. Given an isosceles
triangle for example, learners can prove that the angles opposite the congruent sides are equal.
1.1. Clements and Batista (1994) classify Van Hiele levels from 1 to 5. Using examples, discuss the
levels 1 to 3 in detail. (6)
1.2 Drawing from the CAPS Intermediate Phase Mathematics (Space and Shape), what does it mean to
say that the levels are hierarchical? (5)

1.3 What are the 5 implications of Van Hiele’s framework in the teaching and learning of geometry in
the Intermediate Phase mathematics? (10)
1.4 The development of the geometry we know today, started very early in the human history.
(a) Where in the world do we find some early evidence of geometry? (1)
(b) Approximately to what year does this evidence date back? (1)
(c) Give details of how geometry was practiced in your example. (2)
(d) Where in the CAPS is this type of GEOMETRY covered as a topic? (1)

Question 2: Measurement
The developmentof measurement as one of the content areas in mathematics as we know it today, started
very early in the human history. In this question, you are required to identify from your Study Guide, some
of the most important developments in this regard.
2.1 Identify 5 places in the world where we find evidence that people measured things? (5)
2.2 Approximately to which years does this evidence date back? (5)
2.3 Give detail of how measuring was done in that time. (10)
2.4 Where in the CAPS is this type of MEASUREMENT covered as a topic? (4)

Question 3: Polygons
This question focuses on the concept of polygons. During Intermediate Phase learning, learners start
learning about polygons and their names. Figure 1 below illustrates different types of polygons. Study the
figure, then answer the questions that follow.
Figure 1
3.1 To what extent do intermediate phase learners learn the concept of polygons in:
