KT01 - (F to Year 3) Teaching and learning spatial reasoning in the early primary years. - Dr Tracy Logan
(F To Year 3)
Session Description
As educators, we want all students to be successful in mathematics. However, what if success didn’t look like what we traditionally considered as mathematics? One such area to consider is spatial reasoning—the capacity to generate and manipulate objects in both two and three dimensions in your mind’s eye. Research indicates a strong, ongoing relationship between people who have high spatial reasoning and success in mathematics. Research also indicates that spatial reasoning can be improved through instruction. This presentation will describe what spatial reasoning is, unpack some of the research around spatial reasoning and mathematics, and discuss the implications for teaching and learning in classrooms.
