'Some Reflections on the Van Hiele theory' video clip and paper by Michael de Villiers

These six video clips are of an invited paper presented at the Program Post-Graduate Studies in Mathematics Education at the Pontifical Catholic University of Sao Paulo, Brazil in April 2010, as well as being repeated as an invited plenary at the Croatian Mathematical Conference in Zagreb, Croatia in June 2010, as well as at the National Mathematics Congress in Namibia, Swakopmund, 21-23 May 2012.

Please note that though all the writing on the screen is not clearly visible at the start, the camera zooms in better as the video progresses. Hope mathematics teachers, student teachers, educators and researchers find the video useful.

"Obrigado!" (thanks) to Celina Abar, Mathematics Education, Pontifical Catholic University of Sao Paulo, for arranging the filming and production of this video!
