Abstract
Spatial reasoning is identified as a Numeracy general capability in the Australian Curriculum, and more globally as a significant precursor to mathematics proficiency. Currently, the literature surrounding mathematical-spatial relations remains largely removed from classroom practice. This paper provides a reflection on the spatial cognition field as it relates to mathematics. The focus of the review is to find points of connection between psychological notions of spatial skills and spatial reasoning as it stands in curriculum and assessment.
