Although the twentieth century was marked research in algebra, the emergence of the theory of geometric thinking encourages interest in geometric content. With increasing interest in geometric idea is important to research about the nature of geometrical reasoning and how it develops. This paper summarizes the theoretical framework for the study of geometrical reasoning van Hiele model of thinking in geometry. First, we give van Hiele theory of geometrical reasoning, levels of understanding of spatial relationships and geometric phase of learning content. Second, we present and analyze the interpretation of van Hiele theories. Then, we give a brief overview of research based on van Hiele theory. The paper uses the methods of theoretical analysis. Based on the researched literature we conclude that still need a lot of research on deep process of development and learning of geometrical reasoning.
