Description
Summary:Children can connect with and grasp complex geometric concepts when we harness and integrate spatial thinking into learning situations. In this chapter, we’ll look at a couple warm-ups and a few classroom exercises that show how thoughtful resources and unique geometry assignments may help students enhance their understanding in the complex context of the K-12 classroom. Throughout the class, students used a number of spatial abilities, such as visualization and mental rotations, while building and working with polyominoes.
