Students need to “mentally structure and revise
their construction of space.” National Research Council
We are not doing an adequate job of teaching
measurement; perimeter, area and volume, and
geometry. Schmidt, Houang, & Cogan (2002)
As students study increasingly sophisticated
mathematics and science, those who are able to
construct and analyze physical and mental
models will be at an advantage. Consider the use
of spatial reasoning in the fields of computer
networking, communications technology,
architecture, and the development of CAD. Mokros,
Russell, Economopoulos
