Abstract
This study was to measure the Van Hiele’s levels of geometric thinking attained
by Ghanaian final year (SHS 3) students before leaving School. A quantitative research
approach was employed in the study and sample of 200 students randomly selected from the
three participated schools. The results showed that 42.5% of the students could not attain any
VHG level at all, 33% of the students attained Van Hiele’s level 1, 22.5% reached level 2, 1.5%
reached level 3 and only 0.5% reached level 4. The findings indicated that most of the Ghanaian
SHS form 3 students do not attain any level of VHGT.
