Random Thought

Without intending to, I identified 1 of my student's VanHiele level today! We were doing a daily review before my lesson today and one of the questions asked about a square pyramid. I showed the class a square pyramid and asked why it was a pyramid as opposed to a prism or something else. One boy said, "Because it looks like a pyramid!" Internally, I chuckled and thought "Hmm..VanHiele Level 0!"
